What Our Clients Say

“I hired Chris Roberts to represent me in an extremely complex custody case. Throughout the process, I was scared and worried about the outcome. Chris is knowledgeable about all aspects of custody law. He was always professional, kept me informed, answered all my questions in a timely manner and was very patient. He was prepared for every court appearance and did an amazing job in the courtroom. He also took as much time with me as needed to make sure I was ready for my testimony. He was a tough lawyer when needed but I also knew he cared about what was going to happen to my daughter. Hiring him to represent me was one of the best decisions I made. I will be forever grateful to him for all his hard work. If I ever needed representation again, I would not hesitate to hire him.”

“In my separation and divorce, Heather Collier represented me with skill and excellent judgment. Her advice was not only legally sound, but practical. She demonstrated financial sophistication in assisting and advising on how to handle some complex financial issues that arose in the negotiation of the divorce agreement. Throughout, Heather was proactive, efficient, cost-effective and responsive.”

“I reached out to the law firm via email with only two days before a protective order hearing looking for representation as I was too afraid to represent myself. Chris replied within an hour suggesting Ritika to take on my case. With only a day to spare, we spent time discussing the sensitive information regarding the case and how to move forward. There were many hiccups in my case due to the other party, which prolonged it, but Ritika was diligent, patient, and assured me of my safety, well-being, and pursuing until the case was settled.”

“Even after the case was completed, I found myself having more legal questions and concerns. With Ritika’s background as a former ASA, she has always been available for a call or email from me providing me with the guidance I need to move forward. She even will send an email to check-in with you periodically, just because she’s that kind!”

“...Roberts Family Law has outstanding lawyers who are willing to get personal, understand your situation, and move forward with the best interests for YOU.”
