Christopher Abernathy

The law firm of Mr. Christopher R. Abernathy is beyond anyone’s expectations. Mr. Abernathy is precise, no nonsense, and gets the job done. He has handled my case for the last few years, yes years and I would couldn’t be more pleased with the results this far. His entire staff is efficient, professional and very helpful at all times. If you ever need a Family Law attorney he would the one to go to.

I am very happy I hired Mr. Abernathy. He even went to court on Christmas Eve for my son and I and got orders! He knows the courts, he is very intelligent, and precise and powerful in his speaking. Chris will fight for you. I feel good knowing he is in my corner. His passion, knowledge and presence in court is superb. He truly cares about his clients and is available. I whole heartedly recommend Mr. Abernathy!

Signed a retainer with Chris Abernathy for a premarital agreement a few weeks back. Chris is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and bottom line HE IS THE ATTORNEY YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE. He has your best interest at heart. His office is on top of all matters– from the planner to the paralegal– all great! Highly recommend Mr. Abernathy!

The best divorce family law attorney around when you need someone to fight for your rights and not bend to the will of the other parties while they are lying. In short I hired him after watching cross examine someone who was not telling the truth got them to admit it on the stand after breaking down the facts. Maybe is very direct and to the point he goes after what matters to the court not every bit of drama that happens because those things really do not matter to a judge. Leave it to a specialist and let him handle the problem. The other thing I like is that he still has a lot of years left to practice and will be around for till my son is 18. My child’s 8 years old now. Some of the older attorneys think that they are wonderful but just overcharge and are scraping up every penny on there way to retirement. I wasted 10k on an attorney before him that was about to retire and they did nothing plus there memory starts to go. Abernathy is in his prime.

Chris is an awesome attorney! He is very intelligent, well spoken, punctual and a tiger in court. I changed attorneys during my divorce process and I’m so glad I did. Chris was recommended to me highly by some people in the legal profession. Chris negotiated a settlement in my divorce case. The settlement was fair and equitable. Chris’s staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing a family law attorney!

I work in a profession where I am a frequent witness of lawyer’s performance in family law matters and can spot the good from the bad quickly. Upon meeting Chris, I know I was in the company of one of the best. He is assertive, intelligent, and fiercely looks out for his clients. He was referred to me through an attorney I work for, with this attorney (who I deeply respect) describing Chris as one of his most formidable opponents and praised the way that Chris will tenaciously fight for his clients. My attorney/​client relationship with Chris ultimately ended up being quite extensive– he secured a permanent restraining order against my first husband, was my divorce attorney, provided counsel on my prenup for my second marriage, and ultimately terminated my former husband’s parental rights so that my second husband could adopt my children. He is steadfast and quick in the court room and has an impressive recall of case details. It was very comforting (and honestly at times amusing) to watch Chris slay the opposing party, to the extent that my former husband took to social media bemoaning how bad he was being beat by Chris in court. Chris knows the Court system and offers a realistic portrait regarding potential outcomes in the case. His office staff is a great team– all documentation and issues were thoroughly looked into. I would definitely refer Chris as a strong and skilled aggressive attorney for any potential client who has legal issues– they will be in good hands.

Didn’t seem like he cared or even wanted to be there. Did the bare minimum… Would not recommend to anyone. Divorce sucks but with someone like this guy helping you it’s even worse.

TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY! Mr. Abernathy is an experienced, high quality attorney, who is knowledgeable and well respected, by both the judges and the other attorneys. This attorney handled my contested divorce and custody case, and did so as efficiently and cost-​effectively as possible. He didn’t waste my time or money, like my prior attorney did. Mr. Abernathy is a master negotiator, both in the court room and in the hallway. He is savvy, confident and thinks fast on his feet. Mr. Abernathy runs a paperless office and scans all your documents, which saves time and money. In the court room he was the only attorney I saw that uses an iPad, ready to pull up any case law that might help support his argument, as well as all of my divorce documents, which helped win the hearings in my favor each time. By contrast, the other attorney was left fumbling and shuffling around through stacks and boxes of papers. Having a competent attorney when you need it the most is something you simply cannot put a price on. Just knowing he was competently handling things for me helped reduce my stress level and let me be able to move on with my life while going through the process. In the end, because of Mr. Abernathy, I got SOLE LEGAL CUSTODY of my kids, which is priceless to me! I will be forever grateful that I had this amazing attorney to get me through the nightmare of my divorce. His services were truly worth every penny!

I was shocked at how well he was able to maneuver the court and destroy some false allegations that the other side had made in an effort to get more money (child support). I was a severe underdog in my case all I can tell you is I hope more people find Mr. Abernathy first before they get bled dry from the Attorney, Ex, or just a divorce in general. When I hired Mr. Abernathy the opposing counsel and judge pretty much laughed at us because I was in such bad shape with many false allegations against me and keeping my child from me in an effort to get more support I was an emotional wreck. Mr. Abernathy proceeded to expose all of the false allegations swiftly and effectively and the opposing side buckled after an hour on the stand of story after story being properly pointed out that did not match up. At any point in this situation (Family Law) you need an attorney like Mr. Abernathy that is going to aggressively approach every situation at hand. I trust him and that he gets the job done. Mr. Abernathy is on his A+ game and I am glad he is on my team. I am even willing to make the plunge again with a prenuptial agreement in hand that he took care of for me in great time with my best interest in mind.
