Christopher Abernathy did an amazing job at handling my complex divorce case. My ex wife was perjuring herself and literally lying to the Judge and without Christopher being well prepared and ready to show the court that she was in fact lying, it could have been a different outcome. Christopher's staff was awesome as well and the whole team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Christopher Abernathy. Thank you Christopher!!

Our case was not a straight forward one and was one that took a lot of finesse. Compared to previous lawyers we noticed the following: 1) We did not have charges "run up" for no reason as we experienced at other firms. 2) Mr. Abernathy was very accessible and his staff was on top of everything. We did not feel like we had to constantly follow up to make sure things were done on time. 3) Lastly, Mr. Abernathy is very well respected and 1000% knows the law and the best approach to cases. We literally walked in to trial not particularly optimistic given our past history with my ex, who often got their way from smear campaigns and lying, and the challenge of getting the court to "disrupt status quo". We walked out with basically what we wanted (and most importantly what was best for the children). Best decision ever to switch to Mr. Abernathy's firm.

Christopher Abernathy is a gift from God. I had the most complex, difficult case that made me want to loose hope. Contacting Chris was the best thing I could have ever done. He has gone the extra mile to ensure me and my family received the best results from the court system. It is heart wrenching enough to have to need a lawyer, however, if you find your self in a situation like I did, having Chris and his team on your team ensures you are in the best hands. He knows the law and knows how to ensure you, your case, and your family members are in the best position possible throughout the entire process. When I lost hope, Chris assured me that we would be just fine. This week, he lead our case to the most amazing settlement. The other people thought they wanted to go to trail however with the skills of Chris and his team, we were able to reach a settlement. Tears of joy, relief, amazement, and just gratitude filled my body. This was again a multiple year case I tried to fight alone, however once Chris became my lawyer, the impossible became possible. Again, I hope you hear the gratitude and know that Mr. Chris Abernathy and his team will go the extra mile for you every step of the way.

I hired Mr Abernathy when I was served with an OSC Re: Contempt. The custody battle with my ex is very high conflict, with prior DV history, he loves to gaslight and deflect from his own issues. Mr Abernathy quickly caught on to the antics of him and his attorney. By using his knowledge of the law, and being assertive yet respectful - he was able to get the contempt dismissed and the FCS recommendation of full legal custody and reduced visitation made a temporary order. I am very grateful for the work he put into this huge step in the right direction for my case and my daughter!

Abernathy’s office has been amazing. Mr. Abernathy is the best attorney around and his team is outstanding! Alicia, his paralegal, has made this difficult divorce process much easier and seamless. The entire staff is extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough good things about this law firm and the great staff.

Although my divorce has not been finalized, I feel like I should share my experience with Chris and his staff. Two years ago, we were getting ready for child custody hearing. I had a different attorney, and I felt like I was going to get handed over to opposing party on a silver platter. I wasn't sure if I'd end up with joint physical custody and I was looking at paying 3000 a month for child support and alimony, even if I ended up with joint custody. The day before the hearing, I fired my old attorney and hired Chris. THE DAY BEFORE MY HEARING. I don't know how Chris did it but I got joint custody, 3000 went down to 2100 and I didn't have to pay opposing attorney fees. After that hearing, Alicia was my Paralegal working on my case. She kept me up to date on everything. She replied back quickly and answered the questions I had. Now, Vanessa is my Paralegal. Also on top of things. Any questions I have, if she is not sure, she'll find out ASAP. Paige and Chelsea, thank you guys as well. I read a few reviews about Chris having an attitude or something, maybe he has a strong character. I agree, he did not sugarcoat or give me any assurance. I'd rather get told like it is than have him sprinkle me with B.S. We have one final round, the TRIAL. Although, there is not much that can be done to help us men out in this biased state, I feel confident that Chris and his team can help me out with one MAJOR THING. To be continued.......

When I came to Chris and his team, I had been through three lawyers who essentially sent me in circles and couldn’t deal with any of the issues my narcissistic ex threw at me. Anyone going through the battle for their child knows just how difficult this grueling process is. Chris was direct and gave me the confidence and strength I needed to get through the court processes. During the entirety of trial, Chris and his amazing staff were on top of every detail, defending everything my daughter needs, knows, and cherishes. Chris is honest, direct, and will never lead you astray. He is upfront and will tell you just what you’re in for, both the good and the bad. He won’t lead you down a path of disappointment and gives reasonable expectations. I am sure my ex will never stop fighting but as stressful as this is, I am at ease knowing I have Chris on my side.

My ex took me back to court nine years after my divorce was final. Not knowing the Judicial system, I felt I had been blindsided. I was referred to Mr. Abernathy by a friend and after my consultation with Mr. Abernathy I knew he was the one I needed to help me in my case. Mr. Abernathy and his team, Jerome, Chelsea, and Ashley were nothing but professional, informative along with honest. They never made you feel like you were a bother and would answer any, all questions giving explanations you would understand. Anytime anyone has to deal with legal matters the stress, anxiety that goes with it is awful. Mr. Abernathy is honest, straight to the point, makes sure his client is not being taken advantage of. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and have your back with your best interest in mind Mr. Abernathy is the one you need in your corner. We settled the case without trial and Mr. Abernathy made my interests were taken care of. I highly recommend Mr. Abernathy for anyone going through a divorce.

Mr. Abernathy and his team are amazing. My ex is a malignant narcissist, if you know anything about such people, I pray for you. I asked a friend for a referral. He referred Mr. Abernathy, his ex-wife’s attorney. He said he was honest and fair and said he is the one I need. A few days later I was chatting with a stranger and somehow, we started talking about my “situation”. Turns out she was an attorney. She said you need Christopher Abernathy. At my consultation he was very straight forward. He seemed laser focused and does let you know worst case scenario. I was scared. I’m still scared. If you have a narcissist for a spouse, you need Chris and his team, he sees right through it all. My ex won’t quit and Chris does not back down. He immediately wanted me to get a TRO. But I was too scared of my ex and scared what the courts would think. Would they believe me, would they care? My ex fought date of separation, so I couldn’t get court date for almost a year. Ridiculous but you have to stay the course and work the process, Chris told me. Again, as my husband would drive by, taunt me, etc. Mr. Abernathy and his staff stood by me and tried to keep me calm. And would still advise me to get a TRO. Ashley did a deposition with my ex. My ex thinks he is smarter than everyone or can bully them into submission. When I read the transcript, I felt in shock. She did an amazing job. He doesn’t like to be told what to do and especially by a woman. A smart, young intelligent woman that just grilled him. I could read his anger on the pages. At trial, Wow Mr. Abernathy's presence gives you a calmness in a high anxiety situation. I had no idea what was going to happen, just that I needed to sit calmly and answer truthfully. Seems pretty simple but my husband is quite volatile, even in a court of law. From the first question Mr. Abernathy asked my husband I thought he was going to fly out of the witness seat. Chris knows how to get the truth to be shown. My ex would lie and Chris wasn’t having it. He just boxed him in. WOW was he mad. He’s not used to people standing up to him. He was staring Chris down so hard. And yelling. Chris was completely calm just firmly asking him questions. Mr. Abernathy had complete control of the situation. Ran circles around apposing counsel. His knowledge of the law is amazing to watch. Each day of trial my husband’s behavior became more aggressive towards Mr. Abernathy, he’s demeanor never wavered, complete professional. Before and after court my ex had approached and scared me in the parking and in the hallway. Again, Mr. Abernathy and his team advised me to get a TRO and I agreed. I was very nervous, if I didn’t get it things would get much worse for me. Jerome walked me through the whole thing. He kept me calm and was so patient with me. There are not enough thank you’s for Jerome. Mr. Abernathy was successful in obtaining the TRO! I could breathe, so I thought. EX immediately broke the order. Chris said call the police, report every incident. My ex then yet again broke the order at the courthouse and Chris said that’s it and we are filing contempt of court. There’s is just too much to tell here, but you need to know that if you have an abusive, narcissist ex you need Mr. Abernathy and his team. They are not afraid of such creatures and they have your back. Complete ROCKSTARS! I just want to cry that someone sees this is not right, and wants to fight for me. Get a therapist and personal support system, because they are all business and don’t mess around. Divorce is difficult in the best situations. When you’re divorcing a monster like this you need the best, period. Stay tuned…

Chris and his team are simply the best. The entire staff responds quickly and efficiently. Meetings/calls with Chris are direct, and your questions are answered. I never felt that he or his team were wasting my time (money) simply adding hours. Vanessa at his office was my go-to contact for most things and she was outstanding. Everyone at his office including him, did exactly what they said they would do. Chris is NOT the cheapest... and he shouldn't be... the level of professionalism his team provides is worth his fees. With that said, My favorite thing about Chris is that once it appeared my Ex and I could come to agreement.. He worked hard to make that happen. This saved me a massive amount of money and stress. He did NOT try and drag this out simply to make money. His goal was a settlement that I was good with.... I am very pleased and glad I hired him and his team.

The law office of Christopher Abernathy is very well prepared, organized and qualified for anyone in need of a good counsel representation. As I had no counsel and saw Mr. Abernathy in court, I knew I had to hire someone like him, very direct to the point all I needed. When legal issues arise and you don't know how to handle them yourself, hire Mr. ABERNATHY!! I promise you he will fight for what is right. Mr. Abernathy and his law office are well qualified and prepared, able to talk to you anytime via email or text. Being able to speak to your Attorney and his assistant while having my own appointed paralegal relieved any added stress as they handle everything for you while communicating as a team. Everything is reviewed by everyone to make sure all issues are addressed. This is a great office with another great win/success under their belt!! Thank you to the TEAM Law office of Christopher Abernathy!!
