Client feedback.
Chris stepped in, when I had no idea what I was doing. He gave me excellent counsel and stuck with my decisions, helping my whole situation come to a successful end. I highly recommend Chris and his law firm.
Chris was very professional, diligent and easy to work with. I would definitely use him again and would refer friends to him.
I am a real estate Broker. Chris was absolutely incredible and exceeded my expectations. He was very reasonable in pricing and did an excellent job of keeping the costs down. I would highly recommend him to all of my clients and investors.
My company hired Delaplane Law Group to handle a lease dispute. Chris quickly assessed our position in the matter. With his extensive expertise he was able to evaluate and propose effective strategies for dealing with the other party. Once negotiations got underway he instilled in me confidence that he was the right advocate for the job. Chris obtained for us a great settlement and spared us the expense of protracted litigation. I would recommend Delaplane Law Group without hesitation.
I needed an attorney to complete a real estate transaction between family members. I was given Chris' name, and he was great! He knew exactly what steps and documentation needed to be completed and made that happen in an efficient and reasonably priced manner. He was able to answer all my question and kept me apprised of the timeline for completing this transaction. I would highly recommend Chris Delaplane as a real estate attorney, and would not hesitate to use him again should the need arise.
Some will argue that the word empathetic and lawyer can be viewed as an oxymoron. Nobody ever wants to hire a lawyer. It’s bad enough having to defend your rights, but having to sift through the thousands of attorneys can be time consuming not to mention daunting. I know because I probably like you had the same miserable experience. Chris is a stand up guy. He’s ethical. He’s smart but most of all he’s genuine. Hard quality to find in this industry. Before you waste more time you’ll never get back, buzz him. This Might just be the last call you need to make.
As a civil trial attorney, I often have the need to consult with an attorney who has expertise in real estate matters. Chris Delaplane is the attorney whose advise I seek on all things real estate related. I have referred, and will continue to refer clients to Chris because he is knowledgeable, capable and hard working. I have had only positive comments from my clients that I have referred to Chris and I have personally consulted with Chris on my own personal matters. I highly recommend Chris Delaplane for any and all real estate matters.
