We just completed our estate with Chris and the CMS team and could not be more pleased. As complicated and intimidating as a 'trust' can be, he presented it in a straight forward manner, building our confidence and enabling us to make good and informed decisions for our family. Happy to recommend Chris and CMS Law firm!

My wife and I needed to update our will which actually meant a complete redo. We looked around for an attorney to help and found Christopher's website and he appeared to have good ratings. We went with him and the experience was great. We were slow on getting back to him due to family events, vacations, etc. but he hung in there and was always ready when we were. We went through the wording revision process a couple of times and then were done. I would recommend him if you need a will done. I also recommend you get a will and don't leave a mess for your kids or family.

After meeting with several attorneys, my husband and I chose CMS Law Firm to update our existing trust and estate plan. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and he addressed our special concerns and helped us navigate the process smoothly. I especially appreciate his accessibility and willingness to answer questions and explain the legalese. His rates are reasonable. I highly recommend CMS Law Firm.

CMS helped my husband and I with our will and power of attorney. Chris and his staff are super personable and easy to work with. Chris is not your stereotypical attorney. He is not intimidating in any way. All of our questions or concerns were addressed in a way that we could understand and relate. I would recommend any of my family or friends to CMS!

It was a great pleasure to work with Chris and team. Establishing a will/estate plan can be a difficult process as it forces you to think about things related to end of life, but working with Chris made it easy and painless. We had tons of questions and Chris was patience and took time to answer them all. He also worked around our busy schedules. We definitely recommended Chris to our friends and will continue to do so.

Great team! Quick to follow up on questions with answers I could actually understand. The whole process of creating a will can be overwhelming but Chris and his team made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.

Good: Ticket reduced to a non moving violation. Bad: New fine was higher than the original fine....

It was a pleasure to work with Chris and his firm when addressing our Estate Planning needs as well as helping us prepare a Quit Claim Deed. His professionalism, genuine character and organization made me feel confident we had made the right decision in hiring CMS Law Firm. Chris is a class act and I recommend him without hesitation.

I live in Chicago and got a ticket because we were late for whale watching. I found a firm on the net that seemed to charge only $75 to handle my case. I called them and they seemed OK. It sounded a little too good to be true so I did a little more research. I found out that all they did was write a letter. They don't even go to court. After reading Christopher's blog piece, I decided to go with CMS. CMS took the reins and I didn't have to do anything else. Kate kept me informed as to what the possible outcomes were and then what was going to happen and when. On the day of the hearing I got an email informing me that my ticket was dismissed! You want someone to go to court for you. CMS did. I hope I don't get another ticket in Seattle, but if I do, I'll use CMS.

I dealt with Kate . She was prompt, efficient and friendly. The paperwork was simple. Paid my fee and then all I got was my case dismissed. Would definitely recommend them again.

I've received about 6-8 of tickets over the past 6 years, and have gotten out of them through free legal advice from several lawyer-friends of mine. But this time, I had 7 days before my court date and the prosecution had an air-tight case. With no hope for safeguarding my driving record, I asked a busy lawyer-friend to recommend someone that MIGHT be able to help me. She recommended Christopher Small. I was happy to retain him, but honestly believed that my case was a lost cause (especially with only 7 days to prepare). I was ticketed for breaking the speed limit on an empty freeway, not driving unsafely. Chris got my speeding ticket reduced to a non-moving violation. I had to pay a fine, but nothing appeared on my driving record. Chris made the impossible, possible. As a sheriff-friend of mine will tell you, everyone gets tickets. The next time I find myself in this situation, I will hire Chris Small again, and again, and again.
