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.
