Working with Chris Trotter was one of the few steady things in a really overwhelming chapter of our lives. From day one, he showed up with a calm confidence that instantly made us feel like we weren't facing everything alone. He never brushed off our questions or made us feel rushed, he explained every step in a way that actually made sense, and we could tell he genuinely cared about how we were doing through all of it, not just about the case.
What stood out most was how present he was. He didn't disappear between court dates or calls. He checked in, prepared us, and made sure we always understood what to expect. That level of communication and humanity is rare, and it made an enormous difference.
Chris is sharp, honest, and incredibly dedicated, not just a great attorney, but the kind of advocate you hope to find when everything feels upside down. We knew we had someone fighting for us who truly knew what he was doing.
We're deeply grateful for his work and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs someone in their corner.

Highly recommend! Invests himself in his clients. Mr. Trotter really helped me in all my legal matters to the best of his abilities and scope of practice, and I am grateful for all his hard work and experience. He treated us like family, and made an awful experience a good experience with his compassion towards me, his client, and my family. I hopefully won't need him again, but if I did, I would hire him without any hesitation. Trust me, you should hire him!!!

Highly recommend Chris and the law firm. Felt more optimistic and reassured every time we spoke on the phone. Not only is Chris great at his job in all aspects, but you really get a sense that he cares and sees you as a person. He's pretty much what you want as legal representation, honesty, direct, confident, proactive, punctual, educated, experienced and just overall on top of his game. Am fortunate and grateful for getting in touch with Chris and his firm.

Chris went above and beyond to help me. I interviewed many and choose Trotter Law because it was clear he would go beyond the minimum to explain and protect my interests.
