I would like to share my experience with Mr. Abernathy. He is really a experienced professional lawyer. I had a ongoing case with my ex involving children custody, support and DV since August. After read many reviews on the yelp and bio of different lawyers, I decided to go with Mr. Abernathy. He gave professional suggestions from the 1st meeting and handled the case in all details. After many months paperwork exchange and communication, we went to first trial in Dec for custody, support and so called "TRO". Mr. Abernathy is very knowledgeable and sharp, he is applying all the strategies and skills to protect me, and fight for my benefits. Finally, we won the first battle and I got the joined children custody with reasonable support, and the so called "TRO" is removed. I really appreciate Mr. Abernathy help and definitely recommend him for family law service. Great service!

I have been trying to get my divorce finalized with for almost 3 years now. I have consulted with multiple lawyers in the past 3 years, hired 2 of them and was never able to get any favorable results. Then came Mr. Abernathy. He defended me a contempt case my ex filed against me. His knowledge of the law, case procedure and ability to not only give arguments in court but be able to support them with case laws, previous cases etc. helped him win all his arguments. The opposing attorney was left speechless as he objected to and won almost anything the opposing attorney tried. At the end the opposing attorney just threw up her arms and rested. All charges dismissed. Not just in the court room, but waiting outside the courtroom for my hearings in the past months, I have seen the respect Mr. Abernathy has from other attorneys, court bailiffs and other clients. I truly wish I had hired him from the very beginning and maybe this whole nightmare would have been behind me already. Anyone looking for a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Abernathy.

I hired Mr Abernathy after battling my ex husband for 5 years in court. I had filed an ex parte pro per in December 2019. I immediately went to his office and met with him. He assured me, after telling me all the wrong things I did in my filing, that he could get the visitation I wanted with my son. When we next appeared in court January 2020, the judge modified our custody but we were set to reappear in April to follow up. Then the pandemic hit. My ex husband showed his true colors again and with held our son from many more then 17 times until we were able finally to be heard again in court in June. With the hopes to settle the stoked fires, the judge sent us to mediation again. All the while, Mr Abernathy kept reminding me to be patient. “Let’s give him more rope to hang himself”. We sat before the judge again in December 2020 and Mr Abernathy eloquently went through the prior year of all the violations of the court order that my ex did. And the judge agreed, awarding me majority physical custody. We won! I have been in court for seven years now. It’s exhausting and beyond stressful. But Mr Abernathy and his entire staff have been so easy to work with, supportive, patient and committed to getting the results I wanted. Mr Abernathy is a badass in the courtroom! While I hoped December would be the end, I do believe we will be headed to trial in the near future but I’m beyond confident that with Mr Abernathy will continue to deliver wins in my case. If you’re looking for a beast in the family law court, hire Mr Abernathy!

Mr. Abernathy was always focused on my case and clearly demonstrated his knowledge of the law. He has a great team of associates that were always focused on supporting me. I am very pleased with the services he and his firm provided.

Chris litigated on my behalf for almost five years. My takeaways: He is highly respected. Stating he is knowledgeable is an understatement. This man is an expert at what he does. All business aside, he is no BS (in and out of court). Chris was honest with the information and opinion he provided, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. You get what you pay for folks. He is determined and is no-nonsense. I could not have asked for better representation and am grateful for his honesty.

Wow! I was referred to Chris by an employer/friend and wow! Chris has been a godsend during my divorce. My ex has been an insane tyrant for five years now and Chris has been on point every step of the way. Chris has managed to fight off every attack, keep me sane, provide new with long term insight and most importantly he has managed to keep my kids sane during this entire process. I must say as well that Chris must hand select his entire team as they are very professional, hard working and wow dedicated. I can contact anyone in the office and within minutes I have a response from the appropriate person. Chris has truly kept us sane during this entire ordeal and I can’t imagine what I would have if I didn’t have him and his team in my court. Thank you Chris and everyone in the office, for everything, my kids and I thank you so much.

I want to start out by saying that I have been in an almost constant battle with my ex-husband for almost ten years. I have had different attorneys, my ex husband has had different attorneys, and I have seen MANY other attorneys in the courtroom fighting cases through those years. Not ONE is like Christopher Abernathy. I came to the Abernathy Family Law Firm after reading the rave reviews on social media, Yelp, and local Facebook groups. I had just had a pretty big loss in court because my, then attorney was unprepared. I called and made an appointment for a consultation and got an appointment within a few days of my call. I remember like it was yesterday sitting in his office just crying and hoping that there was something that he could do to help. He was honest!!! He told me no, not right now. He explained the situation, laid out all of the facts and scenarios and gave me a plan. He said, if you do everything we talked about and there is still no improvement, come back to me in November and we will see where we are at. He could have easily taken my retainer fee and written bogus declarations, filing fees, court costs etc, but he wouldn’t. Three months went by and I did exactly what we talked about and documented everything! November first rolled around and I called, made an appointment, and came back in to his office. I laid everything out that had been happening and we went through it all. He asked me some pretty tough questions and he also gave me some pretty tough answers. He will never sugar coat anything for you. Christopher Abernathy tells it like it is which is hard sometimes. He will always keep his word, be honest with you, and he will FIGHT for you. The couple of times that I had the opportunity to be in the court room with him were truly a privilege. I could literally sit and watch him all day during other cases. He is a SHARK!!! I’ve never seen anything like it!! Mr. Abernathy is so knowledgeable on every detail of your case! It’s as if he has been around you through the whole deal. He remembers everything and makes you feel like you are his only client. You will never know the feeling of sitting in front of a judge and having your attorney thumb through papers trying to find an answer for the judge. It happened to me with my last attorney. It’s the worst feeling in the world. That will NEVER happen with Chris. His note taking abilities and attention to detail are truly remarkable. Christopher Abernathy is a true professional and very highly respected in the courtroom by Judges and other attorneys! I feel like I could go on and on but I will keep it short. His staff is amazing. True professionals! From what I have noticed in his office Mr Abernathy prides himself on hiring retired or active military within the firm which is a huge plus in my book. I have two active military brothers and a Vietnam Veteran Father, I appreciate the fact that the Abernathy law firm supports the military. Great Job, great win today, and highly recommended! 10 stars!!

While no one wishes to find themselves in a child custody case, Mr. Abernathy and his firm were extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, trustworthy and professional throughout the process.  I was very impressed with Mr. Abernathy's ability to get up to speed on the facts of my case days prior to the first court hearing.  The Abernathy firm made me feel at ease and made me a priority from day one. Mr. Abernathy and his firm provided excellent service, demonstrating expertise and personal attention to all details at all times.  I am forever grateful for the endless help and guidance Mr. Abernathy's firm offered me throughout my very lengthy case.  Mr. Abernathy made me feel very confident at every single court appearance and hearing during my 9 month long case.  The Abernathy staff was always very supportive and immediately responsive to any issue that arose.  I would highly recommend the Abernathy Family Law firm to anyone! If you need proper representation for custody, guidance in a 730 Evaluation Process or anything involving family law DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THE CHRISTOPHER ABERNATHY FAMILY LAW FIRM!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the boulder you helped lift off my shoulders and for your help in achieving what was in the best interest of my children.  I am eternally grateful! 

Mr. Abernathy constantly reminded me of the uphill battle that I was facing but he was honest, open and sometimes we didn't agree but in the end I got more than I expected. I ended up in a favorable position and I can't thank him enough. In the courtroom he's the best and you want him on your team I couldn't of asked for better attorney.
