Christopher Podoll was great! I had never been to court for custody or anything else and he made me feel comfortable and confident. My custody case was settled in mediation and I got exactly what I wanted without a long drawn out court case. Christopher fought hard for me and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a bulldog! I am very pleased!

Chris was a wonderful representative of calm preparedness during what became a lengthy court process. I so appreciated his knowledge, his calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude in the courtroom, and outside of it. He helped me to stay focused on the larger picture, and he worked on my case in a caring and timely manner.
