Chris did a great job for me. He worked hard on the issues that were important to me and represented my best interest. He was well prepared for court. Also, he was tough with the other attorney when he needed to be and the judge seemed to like his style. I would recommend Chris Haaff to anyone.

He was always the first one in the court house. Always told me options. Made my worries go away and made me feel like I was more then a client. Makes you feel like family. He does great in court and knows the law well. I would definitely recommend his firm. His paralegal Tonya is great also.

When you first meet with him he tells you everything you want to hear. After you pay his retainer he's done with you. He does the bare minimum. Never returns calls or emails. He works hard at trying to work the least amount possiable. Hopefully it's not too late and hopefully he has not done too much damage. He had court dates that he didn't tell me about. When I told him what I wanted he said he understood but did not follow through do not use him. Now Haaff is trying to get money from me that he says I owe him. I only had him for three weeks before I fired him and somehow he thinks he did almost 6000 dollars worth of work and he messed up calculations that ended up costing me an extra 340 dollars a month. When I contacted him on his wrong calculations and if he used the 40% max cap in determining support he said he would get back to me and guess what he never did.

I hired attorney Chris Haaf in the Spring of 2017 to help me with a dispute between my ex wife over time with my son, and to help pursue a few other modifications in our joint parenting agreement.
When I first met with him, he was very personable. He played up the fact that he was also a divorced father, and that he had family in my same profession so I related very well to him. He had a firm handshake, looked me in the eye, and needless to say I felt very good about providing him with a large retainer.
That was the end of the good things.
From the first month, Mr. Haaf was extremely poor at returning phone calls and emails. Days up to an entire week, with no responses. I would try him at the start of the business day, mid day, and evening. Once i did finally reach him, he would always have an excuse. Whether it was helping other clients or busy with his family, there was always an excuse. He explained that he liked every one of his clients to feel like “they were the only client.” I decided to give him one more chance.
As my next court date, one which was very important in my case about a week out, I figured it was my turn in importance. Still no responses via phone or email. As my case was less than three business days away, I ended retained a different attorney. I sent him a certified letter and email to notify him that I would be taking by business elsewhere. And his response, you may be wondering? It was an invoice, showing how he carefully used every dollar of my retainer, some of it highly questionable. My favorite part was how there were items listed, “at no charge” after I notified him that he would no longer be representing me. Unbelievable.
I have requested a partial refund in his retainer fee, almost two weeks ago, and have received zero response either way.
Now I am paying another attorney to undo some of his motions, as they were wrong and having to start from square one. A complete waste of time and money.
I would not recommend Mr. Haaf for any legal needs.

George tried to take $3,500 and practically works for the state. He had my 18 year old son so scared that he was going to go to prison without even looking at any evidence or the discovery. He wanted to put a conviction on my son's record. Within one week of us giving him a retainer. We went out of our way to get medical records which were clearly enough evidence to prove our case. Want this for your realize he had to work for this case he backed out immediately. That's why you're didn't even have the decency to show up to court which the judge was not fond of. Nobody ever wants to need a lawyer especially at age 18. I am so glad that we found a different lawyer just in time. This man almost ruined the rest of my son's life just because he wanted to collect $3,500 is one court appearance. How can you tell your client to plead guilty when you don't even look at the evidence. In my opinion I believe this person should be reported to the bar association. Unfortunately I've heard this story many times regarding this lawyer in the last week. Taking advantage of somebody young is not okay.

Mr. Haaff overseen the adoption of my daughter in Dec. 2015 since that time we have inquired countless times as to her birth certificate. March 8th 2016 was the last time we have heard from Mr. Haaff and with no birth certificate? We paid him in full Jan. 15th 2016 as agreed and now we can't get Mr Haaff to return a e-mail or phone call as to how we can acquire our daughters birth certificate... We paid for a service all we are ask is for that service to be rendered.... Very disappointed

Although no one knows when an attorney is needed for a particular circumstance it's generally worthwhile to consult one before making a decision that can greatly impact someone's life.
I had a phenomenal experience with George not only is he experienced but he was able to understand my situation and his ability to communicate with me was outstanding. I was able to rely on him throughout my entire journey as he was available when needed and his competence, services and fees were reasonable.
It was essential for me to find an expert who was able to understand me as well as be able to assist me with my situation. George had it all but beyond everything he has great rapport.

I have retained George multiple times over the years to represent me on my court cases and he has never disappointed me. George knows his stuff! He is the most knowledgeable, dedicated, compassionate, and professional attorney I know. George paid attention to me, to my cases and to my concerns. He was always happy to answer my questions and explain anything I did not understand to me. He returned my calls quickly and when I was worried, he was always able to put my mind at ease. The outcome of each of my matters was better than I could have ever expected and I know that without George being in my corner, I wouldn't be sitting here able to write this now! George is the only defense attorney I recommend my family and friends to, and the only attorney I would call for help!

Mr. Kililis provided excellent, efficient service with results that exceeded my expectations. He was upfront with his fee and kept us informed as things progressed. He responded to our questions in a very timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that needs a dedicated, aggressive and honest attorney.

My first laywer wanted me to plead guilty and get a conviction. I went with George and it took awhile, but he got my case dismissed. Can't ask for more than that
