Chris is my lawyer for my divorce case, he is very smart, specific, skillful with strategies. Step by step, lead my case to be successful and workable for both sides. His paralegal, the name Patricia, is very kind and both of them work very specific, perfect documents. I am very moved, Chris and his paralegal care me and my kid very much. They did an excellent job, that means a lot for me. I would like to recommend him to anyone who need help.

Chris was supportive and effective as he helped me navigate a diffucult situation. I would recommend him to anyone else going through a divorce. He was both responsive and understanding.

Mr. Tomchuck reviewed my case and determined that I was not being treated fairly and that my landlord was illegally breaking my lease. He contacted my landlord and negotiated an agreement for me. Mr. Tomchuck was very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful.

Chris Tomchuck effectively represented me in very contentious post divorce proceedings. His unwavering support, direction and representation was powerful in overcoming the legal challenges faced. When Chris represented me, he provided the legal advice needed to make informed decisions to impact the outcome of the court proceedings which included my ex serving time for violating a court order.

Chris was amazing with my case. He was there every step of the way and any time I needed him. I never felt like I didn’t know what was going on and never had an issue feeling comfortable with him. He was there for me and told me straight how things were.

Chris successfully defended me against a rather nefarious ex. I was facing contempt charges based on fabricated allegations. Chris was well prepared, confident and thorough. I was so impressed with his preparation that during pretrial review I turned to him and said "so this is how it feels to be represented by a real attorney". I would say however, the most rewarding part of the trial was the way Chris handled the pugnacious prosecuting attorney and his chicanery. I'm honored to have been represented by someone I consider to be the antithesis of common public belief concerning attorney's.

Chris and one of his partners have represented me in a very acrimonious divorce / custody battle and subsequent bickering both in and out of the courts. Chris has been a source of reason and trusted guidance throughout. He lays out options, both legal and practical, plays hardball when appropriate, and helps put perspective around the highly emotional thing that is divorce. I consider myself fortunate to have Chris in my corner.

Chris represented me in a very difficult and ugly family case. He was always on top of the complicated facts and worked hard to keep the other side honest. I would reccomend Chris for someone having a difficult divorce or child related case.
