I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached.

Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. Christian suggested that while my ex and I prepared for trial, it would be beneficial to both parties to try to mediate in parallel. Christian was able to work with my ex's attorney to make this possible and referred us to a mediator. We were able to come to an agreement a few days before our court date that miraculously pleased both my child s father and me. This would not have been possible without Christian s heavy involvement in our communications during settlement negotiations. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to the negotiated result.

As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month.

As the trial date approached and more involvement from Christian's colleagues became necessary, I was introduced to Michelle Beiber. I was impressed by Michelle's ability to jump in mid-case and support with impact. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.
