Chris is a lifesaver. I hired another firm at the beginning of my case. A firm that I hoped would address my rights as a father. It was a mess until a friend recommended Steve Klein and Chris Wehrman. Chris is brilliant. He answers questions in a timely fashion. He is always thinking about your case and what to do next. I now have 50-50 joint custody and time with my son and it is all because of Chris Wehrman. It is a scary process trying to find the right attorney. I would pick Chris over any lawyer I have seen. I have been in court for years and I've seen a great deal of lawyers, this is one you can trust and believe in. Finally, Chris and his firm will not rip you off. They will not do anything unnecessary to just make money off of you. I think this is important to all of us out there. I owe Chris everything and would recommend him to anyone I meet. I hope you go with him. He is professional, smart, kind, and winner. All you can ask for during this process.

I hired Chris as my attorney to handle my divorce. He made what could have been a long, drawn out and emotional process as smooth as it could possibly have been. He spent the time to review the marital separation agreement and the custody agreement in detail and ensured that I understood the terms and process. He was responsive to any calls and emails and made himself available as needed. His approach was practical with the goal of getting to a quick resolution for the benefit of all parties. I would recommend Chris (and have) to any friends and colleagues needing guidance or an attorney for any family law issues.

My prior court experience with two other attorneys left me skeptical to say the least. That changed after working with Chris. He was understanding and thorough. He took the time to understand the mess that was my case. He worked diligently, kept me informed and set realistic expectations. He had a good rapor with the judge and multiple attorney changes by the other side. His persistence to get the best possible outcome was really appreciated. I am greatful for all of his efforts & would highly recommend Chris Wehrman!
