I’ve known Chris Lincoln for several years. She did my second divorce when my third marriage failed... I knew who to go to immediately.... Chris Lincoln is a knowledgeable, dedicated, hard-working attorney who cares about her clients. She understands the system has worked for many many years and knows the ins and outs of the divorce procedures. A few tough issues came up and she knew exactly how to handle them. She cares about her clients and wants to protect your rights and your property. And most of all, she has a clear head. She won’t let her clients get mixed up in emotional battles that will just prove costly for everyone. She understands the issues and clarifies them quite well. If you want a great divorce attorney... someone who understands the system.. Chris is your attorney. I have, and will recommend Chris immediately to anyone who needs a divorce attorney!

Chris and her staff (Darby) are the most professional and patient individuals I've worked with. I fired my previous lawyer and waited a few month for her to take my case and I'm glad she did. Chris was honest and upfront. Darby was always available if I needed explanation. Thank you Chris and Darby.

After releasing my first attorney from my divorce case, I hired Mrs. Lincoln in the middle of negotiations. Knowing how difficult my case was, she did her very best to make sure all previous details were in-line. She followed through with details the previous attorney had neglected and walked me through two LONG mediations and a trial. Her office has kept me updated with information, conservative with fees and dependable. From the minute we had our first meeting, I could see how organized her office ran and her attention to detail. Chris is upfront, honest and her integrity is something to be admired. I highly recommend her.
