Fantastic attorney. I was going through a messy child custody dispute where my ex was trying to minimize time with my kiddos. My ex was trying to make me only have them every other weekend and fought tooth and nail against anything more than that. I was planning to go it alone. Boy, am I glad I didn't! Mr. Abernathy stood up for me, he fought HARD for me, and he didn't give up until I got 50/50. He's a fighter, he's knowledgeable, and he's a strong attorney. I do not regret hiring him at all. He is expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The hardest thing is bedside manner. He's not gentle, he's not nice, he'll call you out straight to your face. But... he isn't gonna sugar-coat stuff. He'll firmly and bluntly tell you how it is, because it's what will help you make an informed decision about your case. He's also an excellent communicator - available by text or email. That was super helpful to assuage concerns I had about the case at odd hours. And he gets results. I have no regrets and all the recommendations for him. Hire him! read more

We called their offices 3 different times by 3 different people with no call back. The 4th time they answered and quoted $10,000-$25,000 to appear in court for a restraining order case that was denied but I still had to appear. Approximately an hour or 2. If you want to pay $5k-$10k an hour without responses, go for it. Most expensive attorney in the USA! read more

Chris Abernathy is an exceptional attorney. After nearly ten years of unresolved divorce proceedings with previous counsel, he stepped in and efficiently brought the matter to a successful resolution. His deep knowledge of family law and strong reputation within the courts were evident throughout the process. He is straightforward, respectful of both your time and resources, and consistently focused on achieving the best possible outcome. I recommend Mr. Abernathy without hesitation. If you need a family law attorney, hire him from the start. You will not regret it. read more

This man is AMAZING! From our first consult, Chris had a very clear path for winning my case. A case that was a bit unusual and originally thought to be difficult. His office staff are as professional and responsive as he is; always available to answer my questions. To watch Chris litigate my case before the judge was incredibly impressive; I was in awe! To see the respect and admiration from everyone Chris comes in contact with continued to assure me I had made the right decision to hire him. Worth...Every...Dollar. The outcome of my case was a direct result of Chris and his incredible knowledge of the law; I walked out with more than expected! read more

Chris is my partners 3rd attorney , I walked into this situation in between #1 and #2. Chris said something very powerful during his initial consultation with my partner, "you get what you deserve" in reference to the poor representation his possible client to be was describing with prior counsel . And he was right, if your indecisive, petty, unable to see the big picture your , head not in the game your already a loser, your head space makes your case, and attracts your experience. Pettiness is allowing opposing counsel or the other individual to effect your head space and act out of fear, or desperation. I was just as petty in thought before Chris said you get what you deserve, it changed the whole perspective for me. My partner is a victim of DV, he attracted representation he needed protection from, read that again...... I stepped into "protect "him from his own lawyers. After thousands of dollars ,two years down the road, 3 attorney's later, and a direct change to the thought process of the outcome brought him Chris. To date he has been the first Aty to verbally tell opc to STFU, with his clients best interest in mind. I interviewed 17 different firms with my partner, even after talking to Chris, because they were paid for. It was his honesty and straightforward approach and "you get what you deserve comment that matched my partners vibration (NOW). He will also not speak ill of anyone , this is typically a sales tactic of a lawyer to agree with your grievance to make you feel heard, and cared for, Not him. And that says something about his being. He has also had the same staff mostly for over 10 years , no one is going to work for an asshole for that long, that means he cares about his people and he invests in there growth within his firm, again another character trait of a good human. He gives you his cell phone number....onboarding is organized , you have an app to look at your paper work, communication is limited/fast when there is and that's good cause talking cost money. They charge one fee for in office calls and stamps and such, most are changing you $30 for there senior paralegal to lick a stamp. When your ready to win give him a call. And winning is what is in the best interest for all parties , that's why lady justice has a scale...Know this now and surrender to it. The outcome is in your mind, when you have unreasonable expectations , you attract unreasonable people and experiences. If you talk to him and your offended your not ready or you full of shit. We just got started and I have referred a client of mine to him. Thats how confident I'm in this firm. And I have seen it all......in this lifetime read more

I had an Excellent experience working with Mr. Christopher R. Abernathy a Professional law Corporation. He was extremely punctual, professional, through throughout every step of my case. Mr. Abernathy Team was just as impressive organized, responsive, and supportive whenever i needed assistance or questions. I truly appreciate the level of care and dedication they showed. I would absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy legal representation. read more

I didn't receive notice of Mr. Abernathy's response to my review at the time it posted. Recently I became aware of it and appreciated him taking the time to reply. It led me to calling again to schedule a consult. Mr. Abernathy is away for 2 weeks so I was willing to have a consult with his associate, Ashley Carlson, and scheduled for today, 3/20/25. Due to the nature of my illnesses and with Ashley's permission, I put my phone on speaker so my caregiver could take notes which I could review later if needed. Ashley came on strong and harsh right out of the gate, playing devil's advocate, without any finesse of experienced attorneys. Without having access to my original divorce, she declared that I don't have a case to pursue an RFO. Incredible assessment. Scary lawyering. This was an embarrassment for her as it showed her lack of Calif Family Law knowledge. My case has been in play for quite some time now, BTW. She also contradicted the judges who've been presiding over my case plus the expertise of 3 notable Family Law attorneys with whom Ashley claimed to have a great deal of professional interaction. I'll be letting them know how wrong they all are per Ashley Carlson. She was also unaware of the largest legal assistance agency in San Bernardino County which was a first. Every attorney I've consulted with or utilized knows this organization. They were responsible for my botched divorce leading me down this stressful path. Ashely's behavior didn't go unnoticed by my caregiver who was appalled at Ashley's shrill interrogation of me and her renouncing of the opinions and actions of the above mentioned notable attorneys. She was shocked by Ashley's rude demeanor and constantly cutting me off. She was baffled by Ashley stating she didn't have the facts of my case yet making a decisive statement that it was over the statute and couldn't be pursued. Ashley, if your only gear is a mechanically defective pile driver screeching its way to destruction, you are a doing a disservice to female professionals and female attorneys everywhere, not to mention the Abernathy Law Firm. Treat other humans better. Especially we who are not the opposition and who are willing to pay you well for your services. But not this time. Ashley isn't deserving of any more of my time or energy so I'll stop referencing her now. I genuinely wanted to consult with Mr. Abernathy after reading his reply to my review but it seems we aren't meant to meet. Unfortunately, my review still stands though I was hoping to change it. I did give it a fair shot and that's the best I can do. read more

I am blessed to have Attorney Abernathy , Alicia, Ashley and Chelsea. Mr Abernathy is very experienced and professional. He knows the law and knows how to fight for the clients efficiently and effectively. My ex has harassed me and made a point to file in the court and to see me there every month minimum. I am going to court from 2014. CPS took away our son from dad when he had WON custody in two months as he hurt the child and hospitalized him to hurt me. My attorney Abernathy knows my case and is very efficient, knowledgeable, does his research. I have been in court from 2014 and I have got the best attorney which is Mr Abernathy. I hope my ex can be stopped from filing false papers to harass me. I have never got any support from anyone, and I really felt supported with Attorney Chris and team. Best decision I have made, was to hire Mr Chris and his team. Do yourself a favor and hire them so you can be presented in your case in a right manner. His presence & knowledge in court was so impressive last week. You are the best human being and attorney . Thank you helping this mother who is saving herself and her child. read more

I had the privilege to have Mr. Abernathy and he's staff in my corner. They truly Perform With integrity, experience and professionalism. From the moment we had our consultation, I realized he was straight forward and worked with in the perimeters given to him. He understands the law very well and where your case fits. He is not cheap, however; ask yourself how much more will you pay with someone else not truly fighting for you. He will fight for you. read more

He is very professional and was well prepared to take on my Ex's attorney. I highly recommend Christopher Abernathy as your family law Attorney. read more

Hired Mr. Abernathy after 9 years of my ex trying to gain full custody of my kids. I was aware of who he was by watching him during my 9 years of hell. I was finally able to afford him in September 2024. He was able to get me counseling after not being able to see my son for nearly 3 years and leaving the state. He knows what he is doing and he knows the judges. It ended with me being able to see and talk to my son without having to go to counseling. I do not think any of it would have happened without him. Thank you for protecting myself and my son from my bully exhusband. He is worth every penny and pays attention to his clients. If your case is difficult, he is the attorney for you! read more

Mr Abernathy is the absolute greatest attorney I have Worked with. He stays on top of your case he communicates, he is super intelligent and straight forward. And affordable given the next level performance he provides. To see this attorney in action in the court room was a privilege let alone having him representing me. Working with Mr Abernathy is a great experience, his staff is great caring and understanding and they will help you whenever needed. I have not once had a bad day or experience with him or his staff. I read the reviews of the VERY FEW people that complained and just doesn't add up. I could only assume they were the problem in their cases. This man is definitely a G.O.A.T. Thank you Mr Abernathy and staff. read more

Mr Abernathy and his team delivered exactly what I paid for. Great service from a professional and capable team. I got my house and son back and he saved me from the consequences of a malicious and false DV charge. They presented evidence to the court to make the judge totally reversed course. They also got my divorce finalized and I'm back to my normal happy self again. Thank you Mr Abernathy for giving me my life back. Basil read more

Mr. Abernathy and his entire team are the best! He is efficient, knowledgeable, does his research, and to the point. He does not waste time on nonsense, and he gets results. His team is wonderful, efficient, and supportive. My paralegal, Jerome, had my back throughout the process, answering my questions and being the reasonable, logical support I needed. I highly recommend Mr. Abernathy and his team! read more

I hired Mr Abernathy when I was served with an OSC Re: Contempt. The custody battle with my ex is very high conflict, with prior DV history, he loves to gaslight and deflect from his own issues. Mr Abernathy quickly caught on to the antics of him and his attorney. By using his knowledge of the law, and being assertive yet respectful - he was able to get the contempt dismissed and the FCS recommendation of full legal custody and reduced visitation made a temporary order. I am very grateful for the work he put into this huge step in the right direction for my case and my daughter! read more

After working with different attorneys in the past, I was searching for the best...and I found it! Mr. Abernathy and his amazing team were extremely professional, responsive, respectful, and confident. On several occasions, I would get worried, nervous, and unsure if they were prepared and if they understood my complicated case. The amazing Vanessa would keep me posted and calm me down. I can honestly say when the time came, not only was the team ready, they were completely prepared and had their hands around my case. Best decision I have made, was to hire Mr. Abernathy and his team. Do yourself a favor and hire the real Harvey Specter (TV show Suits)..my nickname for Mr. Abernathy. Outstanding job to all of the folks that had a hand in my case! read more

Christopher Abernathy The term Super Lawyer in the legal world is defined as: an exceptional achievement and title given to lawyers across the country who have reached high achievements and standards within their respective fields. The title of a Super Lawyer indicates that the lawyer has the respect of their colleagues and the public. If you look in a dictionary under "Super Lawyer" you will see a picture in the dictionary with a name next to it that says "Christopher Abernathy." Prior to retaining Mr Abernathy, I had literally been taken through the ringer and back again by my soon to be ex-wife and her less than desirable legal counsel who's name shall not be mentioned. I won't get into specifics about the sad and unfortunate reason of our divorce but it's been going on for literally 5 years. We have 1 beautiful (handsome) and brilliant son together, no real estate and normal community property stuff. The attorneys I hired BEFORE Mr Abernathy made big promises and I ended with much worse off results than I started with. I was tired of getting taken advantage of financially and steam rolled in court from opposing counsel until one day some other attorneys I knew and their staff referred me to Mr Abernathy. I had heard of him for many years prior to but didn't know if he was like everyone else. On the accolades of my other attorney friends and prior clients , I gathered the strength that I needed to change the countless and endless court battles with my divorce, visitation and child support struggles and hired Mr Abernathy. Let me tell you that I wish that he was my first attorney to begin with. This guy is like a few Marvel super hero's in one or just like the DC super hero Batman, with an arsenal of every legal weapon there could possibly be in his tool belt. He is the sharpest, most fierce and amazing attorney anyone could ask for. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention his superior court presence, elite level of competence in his field of practice, representing his clients in a competent and ethical manner, and has great confidence and swag. Listening to your clients needs, listening to witnesses, listening to your opposing counsel, and listening to the court can be the difference between winning and losing a case. Great lawyers like Christopher Abernathy and his managing attorney Ashley Carlson take in all relevant information, analyze it, and create a plan of action. I am so grateful for your passion, dedication, and professionalism. I've hired lawyers before, but you are truly the best I've ever worked with. Thank you so much Christopher Abernathy and Ashley Carlson! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the amazing legal work you did on my behalf. His services are swift and very surgical although I know each case is different. My child support case is next and yup you guessed it that this Awesome team will be representing me with this as well and I know that it will turn out the best for me, my son and everyone involved. Blessings all around read more

Mr. Abernathy & his team are top notch. I had to revisit some child support orders from a divorce & was suggested to look him office up. So glad that I did, from day 1 I was in constant contact with someone from his office via all forms. Cell phone, texting, email at most any time. The team really made me feel like my case was priority from the start. I had nothing but confidence in his team when I went to court & had him representing my case. I was able to get my visitation changed & child support modified. Absolutely what I was hoping for. His presence & knowledge in court was so impressive that if ever any family or friends asked if I would suggest him, 100% yes. Thank you Christopher & team. read more

Outstanding Attorney and Team. Mr. Abernathy is professional, knowledgeable and an amazing attorney and person. He has gone above and beyond both professionally and personally. He truly cares about his clients and is a blessing! His staff gets the job done and is quite impressive as well. Mr. Abernathy is the attorney you can count on during your most difficult, challenging and complex situations. read more

When I came to Chris and his team, I had been through three lawyers who essentially sent me in circles and couldn't deal with any of the issues my narcissistic ex threw at me. Anyone going through the battle for their child knows just how difficult this grueling process is. Chris was direct and gave me the confidence and strength I needed to get through the court processes. During the entirety of trial, Chris and his amazing staff were on top of every detail, defending everything my daughter needs, knows, and cherishes. Chris is honest, direct, and will never lead you astray. He is upfront and will tell you just what you're in for, both the good and the bad. He won't lead you down a path of disappointment and gives reasonable expectations. I am sure my ex will never stop fighting but as stressful as this is, I am at ease knowing I have Chris on my side. read more

Abernathy's office has been amazing. Mr. Abernathy is the best attorney around and his team is outstanding! Alicia, his paralegal, has made this difficult divorce process much easier and seamless. The entire staff is extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this law firm and the great staff. Thanks for everything!! read more

Mr. Abernathy and his team are amazing. My ex is a malignant narcissist, if you know anything about such people, I pray for you. I asked a friend for a referral. He referred Mr. Abernathy, his ex-wife's attorney. He said he was honest and fair and said he is the one I NEED. A few days later I was chatting with a stranger and somehow, we started talking about my "situation". Turns out she was an attorney. She said you NEED Christopher Abernathy. At my consultation he was very straight forward. He seemed laser focused and does let you know worst case scenario. I was scared. I'm still scared. If you have a narcissist for a spouse, you need Chris and his team, he sees right through it all. My ex won't quit and Chris does not back down. He immediately wanted me to get a TRO. But I was too scared of my ex and scared what the courts would think. Would they believe me, would they care? My ex fought date of separation, so I couldn't get court date for almost a year. Ridiculous but you have to stay the course and work the process, Chris told me. Again, as my husband would drive by, taunt me, etc. Mr. Abernathy and his staff stood by me and tried to keep me calm. And would still advise me to get a TRO. Ashley did a deposition with my ex. My ex thinks he is smarter than everyone or can bully them into submission. When I read the transcript, I felt in shock. She did an amazing job. He doesn't like to be told what to do and especially by a woman. A smart, young intelligent woman that just grilled him. I could read his anger on the pages. At trial, Wow Mr. Abernathy's presence gives you a calmness in a high anxiety situation. I had no idea what was going to happen, just that I needed to sit calmly and answer truthfully. Seems pretty simple but my husband is quite volatile, even in a court of law. From the first question Mr. Abernathy asked my husband I thought he was going to fly out of the witness seat. Chris knows how to get the truth to be shown. My ex would lie and Chris wasn't having it. He just boxed him in. WOW was he mad. He's not used to people standing up to him. He was staring Chris down so hard. And yelling. Chris was completely calm just firmly asking him questions. Mr. Abernathy had complete control of the situation. Ran circles around apposing counsel. His knowledge of the law is amazing to watch. Each day of trial my husband's behavior became more aggressive towards Mr. Abernathy, he's demeanor never wavered, complete professional. Before and after court my ex had approached and scared me in the parking and in the hallway. Again, Mr. Abernathy and his team advised me to get a TRO and I agreed. I was very nervous, if I didn't get it things would get much worse for me. Jerome walked me through the whole thing. He kept me calm and was so patient with me. There are not enough thank you's for Jerome. Mr. Abernathy was successful in obtaining the TRO! I could breathe, so I thought. EX immediately broke the order. Chris said call the police, report every incident. My ex then yet again broke the order at the courthouse and Chris said that's it and we are filing contempt of court. There's is just too much to tell here, but you need to know that if you have an abusive, narcissist ex you need Mr. Abernathy and his team. They are not afraid of such creatures and they have your back. Complete ROCKSTARS! I just want to cry that someone sees this is not right, and wants to fight for me. Get a therapist and personal support system, because they are all business and don't mess around. Divorce is difficult in the best situations. When you're divorcing a monster like this you need the best, period. Stay tuned... read more

We cannot thank Chris and his team enough. Dealing with an ex who doesn't understand the process and is fighting ghosts has been draining and difficult. Chris was tasked with unwinding really bad council who left us in a horrific situation. He had to fix a lot of problems Brian Thorne created. Because of Chris' knowledge of the courts and law, his accuracy and his ability to take care of things, our legal fees have remained reasonable and our minds been put at ease. We know he has us every step of the way. Previous council dropped the ball left and right; Chris never misses a step. We have been working with him since 2017 and highly recommend him! Between the ex's 4 lawyers and my husbands 2, that's 6 lawyers we have seen in action. You will love him and his entire team. read more

After dealing with a family lawyer that seemed to delay the process and I had to continue to follow up on my case due to being "busy with other clients", I found Chris on Yelp. I knew from the first meeting with Chris that he was the lawyer that I needed to represent me. What I like about Chris is he will tell you exactly what will happen and will not sugar coat or give you false promises. He definitely is a subject matter expert in family law and through my process his ethics are top notch. I have already referred him to my friends that are going through a family law situation and extremely happy with the outcome of my case! read more

I first hired Mr Abernathy in spring 2015 to defend me against an emergency restraining order that the other party had filed. He came highly recommended to me from several individuals I trust and did not disappoint. He easily and justly got the restraining order dismissed. It was quite an experience to watch him in court. He is very thorough going over the evidence with you and sticks to the major points in court. He is very strategic and excellent at rebutting the other party's arguments. I was impressed by his performance and as a result, I referred a number of my friends to him. I needed to finalize my divorce, so I rehired his firm in spring 2022. I told him my objectives and desired outcome and even though the other party fought against my requests and brought up their own requests, Mr Abernathy negotiated very hard and effectively for me so I achieved the optimal and fair outcome for my case, and 100% of my requests from the other party were met. I cannot say enough good things about Mr Abernathy, all the staff in his firm and his paralegals. Mr Abernathy is incredibly experienced, intelligent, a master of strategy and he simply gets things done. When you talk to him, he gets right to the point without any fluff, which I greatly appreciate, and he gives you solid and specific advice. His office staff are incredibly helpful, polite, and professional. Vanessa, my paralegal, is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, a clear communicator who also explains the process, responds to my emails promptly and answers all my questions thoroughly. She is a pleasure to work with and I trust her 100% with my case. I have no hesitation giving Mr Abernathy and his firm my highest recommendation. I have experience with other family law attorneys, and I can unequivocally say he is the best. read more

Thank you so much and I'm very grateful to the entire team there. These last few years have been stressful and painful the team helped me through the hardest times of my life. I needed an attorney that took the reigns on all 'fighting' so that I could focus on my children, career, and health. I will forever appreciate Chris and the team. read more

Chris and his team are simply the best. The entire staff responds quickly and efficiently. Meetings/calls with Chris are direct and your questions are answered. I never felt that he or his team were wasting my time (money) simply adding hours. Vanessa at his office was my go to contact for most things and she was outstanding. Everyone at his office including him, did exactly what they said they would do. Chris is NOT the cheapest... and he shouldn't be... the level of professionalism his team provides is worth his fees. With that said, My favorite thing about Chris is that once it appeared my Ex and I could come to agreement.. He worked hard to make that happen. This saved me a massive amount of money and stress. He did NOT try and drag this out simply to make money. His goal was a settlement that I was good with.... I am very pleased and glad I hired him and his team. read more

The law office of Christopher Abernathy is very well prepared, organized and qualified for anyone in need of a good counsel representation. As I had no counsel and saw Mr. Abernathy in court, I knew I had to hire someone like him, very direct to the point. When legal issues arise and you don't know how to handle them yourself, hire Mr. ABERNATHY!! I promise you he will fight for what is right. Mr. Abernathy and his law office are well qualified and prepared, able to talk to you anytime via email or text. Being able to speak to your Attorney and his assistant while having my own appointed paralegal relieved any added stress as they handle everything for you while communicating as a team. Everything is reviewed by everyone to make sure all issues are addressed.  This is a great office with another great win/success under their belt!!  Thank you to the TEAM Law office of Christopher Abernathy!! read more

Attn. Abernathy and his team was the absolute answer to my prayers. Unrepresentable was what some had called me as I previously lost representation as a result of my ex and his Attn.'s ongoing court fillings and financial tactics. Attn. Abernathy was able to see through this and advocated for me. His extensive in-depth knowledge of case law and well respect within the court community supports his position as one of the top family law Attorneys in all of the Inland Empire and in my opinion is best. His paralegal Vanessa goes above and beyond to support and communicate with me. His team is both cordial and kind and responds in a timely fashion. Their support is what has helped me through this very difficult process. I can say with confidence I would not be where I am in my divorce without the professionalism, support and experience of Attn. Abernathy and his staff. 10/10 representation read more

This guy is a solid lawyer. Did a great job for my specific situation. I am very pleased with the outcome.

I am beyond fortunate to have found such a distinguished, respectable lawyer to represent me during these past five years. Chris is respected in the courts. To say that he is knowledgable and assertive is an understatement. I could not be more grateful to have had him by my side through the course of this tumultuous journey. Thank you for going to bat for me. Thank you for always being so transparent with me. Thank you for going above and beyond, exceeding my expectations always. If you are seeking a professional to represent and guide you through the difficult times, look no further. -Susie Powell read more

Chris has provided me with legal advice and guidance during my custody situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. While working with Chris, I felt as though my situation was in excellent and trustworthy hands, and never did he steer me wrong. Throughout this long battle since 2009, I have never encountered an attorney or his staff to be very helpful in anything I needed. They are fabulous & I am greatful to them for answering all of my questions I had. I would highly recommend Christopher Abernathy to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Chris again. read more

Look no further..Best attorney hands down, I've had nothing but success with Mr. Abernathy, I just gotta say I'm glad he's on my side, he's by far the best out there no questions asked,strongly recommend. He's your modern day Superman when it comes to court cases. I would definitely give him 10 read more

If I could give Chris Abernathy 10 stars out of five I would do that he did exactly what he said he could do I got an outstanding great settlement he's a man of his word extremely knowledgeable of the law and communicates excellent nothing but great things thank you Chris for what you've done for me. read more

I was in the process of petitioning my husband when our immigration lawyer discovered serious allegations proposed by my husband's ex-wife that could have had negative effects on the process. Although my husband was already divorced in the country they officially got married in, we were unsure if the state of California would acknowledge their divorce. Our immigration lawyer needed us to find a California state attorney that would be willing to clear his name and get the court to recognize their out of country divorce. It wasn't easy. A lot of the attorneys that were contacted refused to take the case. Chris however agreed to represent us, and we could not be any more satisfied with the results. Sure, it was a lengthy process, but COVID played a major part in the delay and despite the fact, Chris and his staff kept us to up to date. My husband and I do not live state side, but Chris was always accommodating with phone conferences to include speaking with our immigration lawyer when necessary. Let me be clear, Chris is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. It goes without saying he is competent, efficient and honest. We were very fortunate that Chris agreed to represent us. read more

I had high hopes that I was going to get help with getting my custody and child support from a previous lawyer figured out. Chris came highly recommended and I was confident I would be putting a retainer down during my consultation today. I was very sadly disappointed. Chris made me feel terrible for the conditions that were previously set in my case, so bad that I started crying. He was impatient when I didn't understand the correct legal terms he was using. At the end, he turned to his computer, crunched some numbers, handed me back my paperwork and basically kicked me out of his office. I didn't even get to ask the rest of my questions. $150 for 20 minutes of shaming... save your money! There are more kind and compassionate lawyers out there. His office staff was really nice though :) read more

Super disappointed. I called three times and left voice messages every single time. Never received a call back from anyone. Even left my email and no one bothered to contact me on any portal. Was referred by multiple friends and family who said they had a great experience but I can't say the same since I couldn't even get someone on the phone. Update! Was personally reached out to by Mr. Abernathy after my review was posted and he became aware of my situation. I am very grateful for that. Even tho I no longer need legal advice I truly appreciate that. read more

Chris is an excellent attorney. Got me a custody modification order real quick after fighting over year in court. He fought tough for me in child support. I had a very, very difficult case in child support. Him & his staff worked hard on my case. He works hard, and is available early & late hours. I thought it was cool, I could text him with concerns on my case. read more

Wow! I was referred to Chris by an employer/friend and wow! Chris has been a godsend during my divorce. My ex has been an insane tyrant for five years now and Chris has been on point every step of the way. Chris has managed to fight off every attack, keep me sane, provide new with long term insight and most importantly he has managed to keep my kids sane during this entire process. I must say as well that Chris must hand select his entire team as they are very professional, hard working and wow dedicated. I can contact anyone in the office and within minutes I have a response from the appropriate person. Chris has truly kept us sane during this entire ordeal and I can't imagine what I would have if I didn't have him and his team in my court. Thank you Chris and everyone in the office, for everything, my kids and I thank you so much. read more
