Chris was exceptional, to say the least. He was personable, kind and able give his honest opinion without sounding too harsh or superficially nice. Before getting to know my case, Chris made getting to know me as a person his first priority, which I appreciated. He had the best outcome in mind for my entire family, especially the long term interests of my children— but made it clear that at the end of the day, he was ultimately on my side. And as for the pre-agreed pricing approach— I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be an added bonus that saved me stress and money.  I took a leap of faith and put my trust in Chris— and I’m so glad I did.

Working with Chris was great! He’s personable, competent, and made everything so, so easy. I came to Chris for a pre-nuptial agreement, which was more of a celebratory process—Chris genuinely shared my joy, and it made all the difference. He was extremely thorough in translating the legal jargon so that I understood everything that was going on. Chris was great about giving and explaining every option—both the pros and the cons— and gave his opinion, but never pushed. I loved the pre-agreed pricing approach that he gave me— I knew exactly what to expect at the end of this process, which was helpful since there was a wedding in the works, too. All in all, Chris was a great lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

My experience working with Chris was fantastic. He was there for me through the entirety of the divorce and I could reach him whenever I needed him. He helped me to fully understand everything that goes into the process of something like this and during times when I needed extra help, Chris was there for me and gave me sound advice. I cannot express how helpful his personal attention and excellent assistance was to me. And his pre-approved pricing plan was just icing on the cake! His pricing provided clarity and made my time of need hassle-free. In a situation where court fees can get out of hand, his stability was refreshing. I knew exactly what to expect with him. And that reliability made all the difference.

I have been Chris’s client before he started his own firm. I reached out to him again because my current case was related to my previous. Chris reviewed my cases thoroughly, both previous and current, and researched carefully to find the best solution for me. The process was seamless. Chris was courteous and friendly, was always willing to do more research upon my request, and gave me helpful advice and guidance. He never pressured me into any decision. I found Chris’ pre-agreed pricing approach fair and uncomplicated. It put my mind at ease knowing that I could correspond with Chris whenever I needed him without feeling as if a clock was running, especially since my case ended up taking longer than expected. Chris respected my thoughts and opinions which shows that he truly cares about his clients’ well being.

Chris was always in my corner. Working with him was a collaborative process, where he took the time to sit down, actually listen to my situation, and understand what I wanted to accomplish. He was great about contacting me regularly and keeping me up to date with any new information that arose. He was excellent about knowing what I wanted—when it came to my child custody case, I wanted advice from the rest of my family members because I value their opinion. Chris was intent on primarily listening to me and making sure my family members didn’t overpower me. The pre-agreed pricing approach to me, was genius. A set price while getting the job done made things so much easier. We thought that our case would take longer, but since it was quicker than anticipated, Chris even lowered my pre-agreed price. If there’s anything I love more than the pre-agreed pricing approach, it’s the fact that Chris lowered it!

The process of working with Chris was great. He was a tremendous help with my first divorce so naturally I thought of him, and in turn, Evolution Divorce, years later after realizing a shared attorney wouldn’t work as I started down the path of divorcing my second wife. Chris worked quickly to set up a fact-finding meeting and worked diligently to get my divorce through the courts and over the finish line. I loved his “pre-agreed pricing” approach, which, having done hourly billing in the past, helped put my mind at ease. The fact that I didn’t have to worry about any unexpected costs made a stressful situation much easier.

I was going through a really difficult experience, and a friend said I should talk to Chris - she said he was kind and understanding. I gave him a call, and he was certainly both. He was able to guide me step-by-step through my case and provided focus for me. My experience was so emotional and hard to wrap my head around, but he had seen everything I was going through before. Nothing threw him off; he was calm and clear-headed. He is good not only with legal advice, but he is a cheerleader and an advocate for you to get you through the process. It also helped that his pricing was clear, so that I didn’t have to worry about how much everything would cost. This may be his business, but you can tell he truly cares about his clients.

My wife of 17 years and I wanted a collaborative divorce. It was a big transition - she was a stay-at-home-mom and had to go back to work for the first time in years - and we had to create separate living situations and set everything up to be financially sustainable. Chris was great about keeping focused on our two kids and doing what was best for them. The collaborative process requires good communication and collaboration; without Chris, the process would not have worked. He is particularly strong at managing the emotions of everyone involved and served as a sounding board and voice of reason when we hit roadblocks. It has worked out better than I expected, and Chris’ guidance and professionalism is a huge part of that. I am now in a much better place, my kids are healthy and adjusting, and we are able to move on because of the work he did. I will be forever grateful for making such a good choice to hire Chris during this process. I don't  wish anyone to go through it, but if you must I highly recommend hiring Chris if you can.

By having pricing established up front, Chris really helped me focus on getting through the case and not concerning myself with surprise fees. Most of my work with Chris was virtual; I live on the West Coast, he's in Virginia, but it didn’t matter - he is incredibly responsive over email, text and phone. When we did meet in person, he was everything I expected. He’s a people person. Communication is so important in these kinds of cases; some lawyers get so swamped and don't have time, but he puts in the effort and makes time to call you back and respond.

My situation was extremely difficult and complex. But from the moment I met Chris, he very clearly explained how everything would work and how he would approach my certain custody and divorce situation. He was so easy to work with and beyond that, just incredibly supportive. I was impressed by his communications; he was always prompt to respond at all hours through either phone or email. Chris is an extremely knowledgable, caring person and I would highly recommend him to others.

I was faced with a very delicate and personal situation. I believe that knowing the final costs before we started made it easier for me to think through each aspect and make sure all points were promptly addressed. I was able to focus on my situation and get through it without difficulty. Combined with Mr. Macturk’s knowledge and empathy, Evolution’s pre-agreed pricing made an unbearable situation tolerable and much easier to navigate.

Throughout it all, Chris remained approachable and understanding, especially when life was the toughest. He very much wanted to listen to what was going on and hear what I was feeling. Chris was genuinely concerned about not just the legal issues but also the personal issues I was dealing with as well as what my kids were dealing with. Going through this stuff is tough. I am glad Chris was with me during this difficult process.

My divorce was an extremely difficult experience, but Chris took time to walk me through various pathways we could take. He was also very present in our meetings, and was fully locked-in to our conversations. It was obvious that he has deep knowledge of both the law as well as the local legal scene, and how things work in the Richmond area. He was able to work very proactively with my ex-wife’s attorney. Chris really is just looking out for his clients’ best interest, and he does it without an ego. He’s a normal, down to earth guy.

I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t even know how to tell my story. But Chris made me feel very comfortable, he made amazing eye contact, and he wanted to hear the facts. My divorce was the most difficult problem I’d ever faced in my life, but he made me feel at ease. From the very beginning he set realistic goals, and explained the law in detail. What my divorce did for me was give me new life. I did not know it at the time, but it has been a wonderful transition for me. From beginning to end, Chris was there for me. Once I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, that light turned out to be so bright.
