"If I could leave 0 stars I would, my son has been trying to get ahold of Chris for a few weeks. Retained a year ago moved out of state had some trouble finding work and was overwhelmed with his life. I called Chris today concerned because my Son couldn’t get through, he answered for me but not my Son. Had the nerve to tell me that ADHD/Autstic is no excuse for my Son. This Man took my $ and dropped the case with no official withdrawal!!! Very RUDE on the phone. BEWARE!!!"

"I was honored having his representation during my criminal case when the Jude paused and gave him great credit. By asking Mr. Vanvetchin repeat that? After The Judge stated, "you're good, you are really good. I like that!" He exclaimed. Then gave him the most respectful look I ever saw a judge use. Needless to say I got off really well on that cause! Thank you for your time and consideration. God bless."

"I had hired Chris many years ago to help me out in a case, and he knows his stuff. He’s always on top of the laws and the relevance it has regarding your case, and he’s always on top of it. Recently, I had the honor of rehiring him again to take care of some personal business for me and again excellent service. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone in need within his specialty and more."
