    We had a high conflict child custody case involving a move away order. Chris was always very professional and ahead of the game. Excellent litigator and writer who was able to explain my side of things. Chris was ahead of the game and made opposing counsel look bad. Thank you Sunnen Law team for fighting for my kids and I. They even called us after the case to see how we were. You guys truly care about your clients.

    Chris was recommended to me after 7 years of a high conflict case that literally destroyed my life and took my kids. I worked hard and hired Chris and got my life back! He’s amazing. His no drama get the job done attitude was awesome and his knowledge and focus was impressive. I will be using him again if needed and highly recommend him. His staff too are lovey. Wonderful experience!

    Thank you so much for all that you’ve done! I couldn’t have gotten through this divorce without your words of wisdom, advocacy skills, professional legal advice, expertise about family law, relentless confidence, and sincere understanding. You didn’t treat me like I was just another “court case”. What you did, among other things, was listen to every word I had to say! That was important to me because—not once, did I ever feel that you weren’t genuine. Once again, thank you Chris!

    was referred to Sunnen Law from a friends recommendation when my ex-wife decided that she wanted full-custody of our 4 kids (we had 50/50 visitation). Chris was brilliant in his representation of me. He is very intelligent and was forceful when the situation called for it (court hearings or negotiations), but is also very thoughtful and compassionate. I believe that he truly understood my issue and the intricacies involved. Because of his dynamic and powerful representation of me I was awarded full custody of my children. I highly recommend Christopher Sunnen. He is very busy, and in high demand, but well worth it!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
