Our Team

Chris Macturk

Founding attorney

Chris Macturk, an accomplished Richmond divorce and family lawyer, set out to redefine how family law services are delivered. By focusing on transparency and client-centric pricing, Chris has built a reputation for offering more than legal expertise—he offers peace of mind.

‍

A New Approach: Transparent, Pre-Agreed Pricing

A strong attorney-client relationship is built on trust, open communication, and collaboration. Drawing on years of experience in family law, Chris developed a Pre-Agreed Pricing model tailored to the needs of his clients. This approach eliminates uncertainty, allowing clients to focus on working closely with him to achieve their goals—without the distraction of hourly billing or the stress of watching the clock. By knowing the cost upfront, clients can engage fully in the process, fostering a more transparent and cooperative partnership.

‍

While we believe Pre-Agreed Pricing benefits both clients and attorneys, we also understand that some clients may feel more comfortable with a traditional hourly rate. Additionally, not all cases fit within the Pre-Agreed Pricing model. For those situations, we continue to offer Hourly Pricing as an option.

‍

A Family Man at Heart

Chris and his wife, Cynthia, the Chief Financial Officer of a Richmond consulting firm, are proud parents of three sons. Their oldest graduated from Virginia Tech, their middle son is attending the University of Virginia, and their youngest is in high school in Short Pump.

What clients say about Evolution Divorce

“Besides the emotional toll, the cost of divorce weighed on me, particularly as my case took nearly three years from start to finish. I was facing single parenthood and drastic changes in my life after 20 years of marriage. However, Chris’s pricing options were vital in helping me get through those long years. Divorce is hard enough. It’s important to find someone who will fight for you while also helping you advocate for yourself.”

C.C.

“Chris was incredibly patient and answered all my questions, sometimes multiple times. He walked me through various scenarios of my case until I clearly understood all of my options and the potential outcomes. Chris was in constant communication guiding me through the entire process. Even after we reached the end, he continued to follow up making sure I was happy with the results. Evolution’s pricing structure was also a huge help. I knew exactly what to expect. I would definitely work with Chris again.”
