Chris is the best attorney in the St. Louis area, hands down. He was always prepared and communicated with us every step of the way. He made himself available at all times and explained the entire process thoroughly. He exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond for us, like he does for all of his clients. He will fight and work hard to get his clients the best possible outcome. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Mr Brown is hands down the best attorney I’ve met, and I’ve met quite a few. Doesn’t just want your money, actually cares about the outcome of your case and is realistic yet ready to battle it out in your best interest. Would recommend him to all my family and friends.

He has connections, both inside and outside the judicial system, which give him the ability to get you incredible results and obtain resolutions that would be nearly impossible for any other lawyer to obtain. Need help? Make Chris Combs your first call!

Working with Chris was a great experience. He was on top of his job, he was very reliable. I gained knowledge just from working with him. Chris helped me beat three felonies (one being a Class A felony). Chris is well recommended to others looking for a great, well organized , trustworthy lawyer.

Working with the lawyer was fast and little to no contact. Got him and within 2 days had ticket resolved. Was a little pricey for what I was expecting but simple none the less. I would very much recommend if you are looking for a quick and reliable solution for a traffic violation. Just be aware that it can be costly.

Waterkotte is one of those slimy attorneys in a pinstriped suit with his fat neck spilling out. He is at best an ambulance chaser. He champions getting guilty people off. He’s also arrogant, curt, a poor communicator, and he’s more interested in collecting that paycheck than actually supporting his clients. He gets the bad guys out of trouble and allows the good guys to suffer. Would not recommend.

I have no idea how this “attorney” was representing children! He’s lazy. If your in a case that requires your attorney to actually work for you, don’t hire him. Evidence enough of how he’s bounced around law firms. He did nothing for me. Empty words. I lost everything because this guy chose to NOT fight for his client. He sat in court and used the bathroom multiple times for 8 hours! Did not speak on my behalf. The law firm forgave my bill after he was let go. Enough said!
