Click to report rating    3/9/24   5     5     5     5     5   Chris King, an outstanding family law attorney, proved invaluable in my divorce and child custody case. Despite initial nervousness , his decision to take on my case turned out to be the best one. He adeptly simplified complex legal matters, showed impressive responsiveness, and offered crucial guidance throughout the challenging process. Dealing with a reluctant and abusive ex-spouse, Chris's patience and passionate advocacy secured full custody for my son. He ensured fair property division, maintained professionalism in digital proceedings, and actively assisted in obtaining an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) during violent incidents. Although repeated denials, he effectively handled passport renewal challenges, making the process cost-effective. Recently settling the divorce, I credit Chris’s dedication, and commitment for the positive outcome. I highly recommend him for family law cases as he has made a significant difference in my life and my son's, for which I am sincerely grat RID: 268876

He is incredibly professional, patient, responsive, efficient, and detail-oriented. He took a very fair and unbiased approach to things, which was what I was looking for, and perhaps the thing that I appreciate the most about Chris was his ability to diffuse the emotion from the situation. This made what could have been a very difficult process so much easier and less stressful. He is also incredibly fair when it comes to his billing practices.

Click to report rating    10/29/21   5     5     5     5     5   Chris is an amazingly organized, communicative, intelligent Family Law Lawyer. I had an ex come after me with a few different demands and Chris predicted the Judge's outcome to a T. He does all of his own emailing and writing, making communication concise and personal feeling. Furthermore, Chris is a very ethical legal representation. He would not support anything that wasn't fair in the court of law. Despite having a lot of anxiety about the legal case, Chris put my mind at ease with his fast work; often having Orders wrote an hour after a phone conversation. Less time spent means less money spent. RID: 231068

Click to report rating    12/9/20   2     1     3     2     1   Chris is probably the worst lawyer you can ask for in Edmonton. He knowing led me to lie on my affidavit which from there on led to total breakdown of my case. It ended up biting me during questioning. From there on my trial became a mess which I could not recover from, making me lose custody of my little ones and having to pay more child support. I wouldn't recommend him to a friend. RID: 225749

 1/15/20   5     5     5     5     5   Chris was great and I would highly recommend him, especially to folks wanting to stay out of court. He is responsive, fair and professional. He was honest and transparent about costs. I especially liked that Chris did not play into the drama created by opposing lawyer, which would have made things really expensive and time consuming. He is calm and kind, and perhaps most importantly for me, a decent human being. RID: 218968

 10/30/19   5     5     5     4     5   I would recommend Chris in a heartbeat. Highly professional, small practice so you avoid the additional costs a big firm allocates; Chris's overall costs were more than fair and half of what I expected going in. He is efficient with the time he allocates and charges to your file. He was honest with me with what I can expect even if it wasn't the answer I was hoping for. We communicated mostly through email with only a couple in person discussions at the beginning and a couple conference calls throughout the process which start to finish took nine months. Please note, this is your divorce, Chris has multiple files he works on, do yourself a favor and educate yourself and be organized with all the documentation required to support your positions. Review everything in detail as it is easier to correct an email or position before it is sent to the opposing lawyer. You will also save money the more organized you are and feel more in control of the process. Two thumbs up Chris!! RID: 215779

Click to report rating    4/23/19   5     5     5     5     5   Ecstatic to have found Chris. He is extremely helpful, a first class professional. His communications are prompt, very clear and concise. I always felt informed and appreciated his advice while navigating my divorce. Time and again he demonstrated tremendous knowledge and a fantastic ability to manage my divorce file and opposing counsel. He runs a very efficient practice, allowing access to an affordable, very capable lawyer. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends. RID: 210567
Click to report rating    9/22/18   5     5     5     5     5   Chris very efficiently handled my divorce proceedings, amicably and with no drama.

An all round nice, friendly, sincere, genuine, approachable lawyer. I would highly recommend him without any hesitation. Great job Chris, thank you. RID: 192688

 6/30/17   5     5     5     5     5   Thank you SO much for being efficient and calm during the most difficult process I have had to endure. Excellent advice and guidance was provided with a gentle but confident style. I have already recommended Chris as he exemplified professionalism and practical recommendations. Each meeting was proficient and client centred. I never imagined I would need a divorce lawyer and as sad as that reality was Chris made it sensible. I learned a lot from him; and more importantly I trusted him with the interests of my children and I. That trust is priceless. RID: 187047

 6/20/17   5     5     5     5     5   Chris is an absolutely fantastic lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, fair, to the point, and will advocate for you properly. He is great with his billing, communications promptly, and is skilled a mediating issues to ensure the best solution is found for everyone involved. In my case, he managed to get the other party to settle on a number of issues where it had seemed honestly impossible for years prior, and for the one unresolved issue he ensured that the proper outcome was reached in court. I will recommend him to everyone I ever meet who needs assistance in Family Law, and should issues arise for me again, he will be the first person I call. RID: 186478

My first lawyer was a dud and when I found Chris through a referral I was blessed to say the least. He handled my divorce professionally and was always working for what I wanted. He was not an aggressive lawyer and kept things calm and collected through all of our meetings dealing with what mattered to me. I recommend Chris King to any one needing a good divorce attorney. RID: 181830
Click to report rating    3/8/17   5     5     5     5     5   After repeated failed attempts to get my ex to agree to a joint filing, I contacted Chris. While the file was relatively simple, my ex wanted to draw out the process to drive my costs. Chris was open and honest regarding my options. In the end, we chose the route of patience. Start to finish, 5 months and a very reasonable cost. Very pleased. Chris was efficient yet compassionate. RID: 181691
Click to report rating    2/23/17   1     1     1     1     1   Worst lawyer possible, has no backbone in court and had no idea how to speak to the judge.

Click to report rating    10/14/15   5     5     5     5     5   Christopher was upfront from the start about his approach and used this word: dispassionate. It is exactly what I needed, someone to minimize the emotional garbage; focusing on facts, law and realistic goals. He kept my sanity in check by calmly and skilfully shutting down my ex's attempt to waste money and bankrupt me with senseless court costs. Christopher listened to any extra information/research I provided, and respected my requests to make a case for some specifics; he ultimately ensured every decision was mine, and that I was making INFORMED decisions, unlike the opposing counsel who was obviously not able to keep my ex grounded to reality. I appreciated that Christopher used emails and we were able to communicate efficiently with quick turnarounds. I also appreciated his approach to billing, if he only spent 2 minutes, he only charged for 2 minutes, not 15. Also, through my Employee Assistance program he honoured a discount. I definitely recommend him. RID: 160414

Chris is no stereotypical lawyer. His prices are fair, he answered all out questions, and obviously cared very much about the issues we were fighting for. I highly recommend Christopher King. Blessed to have him in my corner. RID: 134827
Click to report rating    1/8/14   5     5     5     5     5   First of all let me say that out of all the lawyers I contacted when trying to find council, Chris was the only one who took the time to actually listen to the details of my case before quoting any cost. At our first meeting, he actually made recommendations for us on how we could cut legal costs. He is a lawyer who cares about families. At a court hearing Chris was able to ensure that my child's best interests were heard and understood by the judge, and we succeeded on every matter presented in our favour. I am grateful to have found him and reccomend him to anyone who truly has the best interests of their child at heart. RID: 129878
