I worked with Chris once and he did a great job. He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive attorney. In the end I was very pleased by the result. If you select him as your attorney you will be happy with his responsiveness and attention to detail.

Fantastic experience. I was facing a charge that had potential jail time. At a minimum I thought my license would be suspended and my insurance would drop. Along with a very large fine. Steve was able to get this amended to an illegal parking and the fine was less then I could have imagined. No license suspension, no insurance loss. Cannot believe he was able to do this. But so very thankful.
Woulda recommend these guys 10 times over

Chris Combs was my attorney regarding a situation that I never thought I would be in but after calling him the first time to the end of it all years later, he and his team were absolutely incredible. As busy as he is, there was always time for any questions or concerns I had. He was honest and forthcoming from start to finish and I would not have wanted anyone else on my side. The outcome was 100% better than I ever expected. Lawyers sometimes get a lot of heat but Chris is such a standup guy. If anyone is thinking they may need an attorney for whatever situation they are in, you should absolutely call Combs/Waterhouse. You'll know you have the right team on your side from the beginning. I can't say enough good things. Thank you to Chris and his whole team.
