"Christopher is very arrogant. Instead of supporting his potential clients he pushes them away and gives hopeless advice. Not a lawyer I want my by side."

"I only did one star because I could not do a zero. If you want a divorce attorney that won’t divorce you and tell you to go marry the next person and then come to find out during a court hearing that you’re still married to your first wife, I highly recommend Christopher Thomas. He never gave an accountant of the money we gave him. He dragged out this divorce for two or three years he did not fight for us in court. I’ve made multiple calls to get an accountant of the money that he was supposed to show us what he spent our money on and never did He barely would get on the phone to talk to us , we had to file a complaint with the state bar and we had to hire another attorney in Hawaii to finish the job. His first wife had access to our brand new home and a brand new truck and we’ve spent 50,000 trying to fight her in court because of the mess up Christopher Thomas did with our case. Yeah do not hire him as an attorney."

"Very happy with my experience, made my divorce a lot less stressful and returned every call very quick. I’ve recommended a few people to Christopher Thomas because I trust his entire staff."
