Chris helped me with some doubts during a consultation in a discrimination case I filed Pro Se. The hour consultation was worthy with Chris advice he was attentive to all my inquiries. Representing myself. I definitely recommend him. Very honest.

Army Combat Veteran writing this review. I received from all staff members, especially Chris, a detailed and determined professionalism which cared for me with a thorough genuine approach. Very Respectful; couldn’t have asked for a better experience from Houk Law Firm during this stint of my life.

Hired Attorney Mr. Christopher Houk

I met with Chris for a consult. I was not sure if what I was experiencing at work required legal counsel. He attentively listened to my concerns, provided expert advice and recommendations and displayed a genuine level of care about me and my situation. I definitely did not feel like a case number; I was an individual who mattered. He explained that my concerns were valid. I left the consult with an improved level of awareness about my rights, confidence in my ability to advocate for myself, and an understanding of my future options. Knowing that I could work with Chris in the future, if necessary, meant the world to me. He is outstanding.

Hired Attorney Mr. Christopher Houk

I was in a situation with an employer that had threatened me with a baseless lawsuit and I was really scared. I had also come out as transgender in this workplace and was facing discrimination from that. Living in AZ I was concerned about being transgender and how that would impact the representation I would receive but Chris and his team were nothing but kind, compassionate, and helpful. The team accompanied me to a meeting with my employer that they had at their lawyers office and even got me a settlement. Despite the pain caused by my employer Houk Law gave me a best case scenario that I didn’t even know was possible.

I contacted Chris and his team who quickly reviewed my questions on employment issues that closed on a positive response. I could not be more happy. Chris and his team did an excellent job and left no stone unturned. When we think all hope is lost and we seek out the experts Chris and his team are the ones to call. Thank you ever so much for all your efforts. If I ever have a question or actually any type matter Chris and his team will be the first ones I call.

 
Wrongful Termination

Hired Attorney Mr. Christopher Houk

Buyer Beware - this law office is only interested in padding their pocket instead of fighting for you. Lacks negotiation skills. Will not attempt to get severance by calling after demand sent. Demand letters are arrogant and do not get responses. They do not bother to work for you because they make more charging you. They will charge for editing after they make mistakes as if they are intentional in doing this just to charge you more. Will charge you even when you state you do not want a meeting for the email or call. Greedy. Would not attend unemployment hearing when asked for help stating they cannot get paid to attend. Greedy. Arrogant. Lacks negotiation and legal skills to get severance despite the copious documentation and facts. Another lawyer for less won the case for me. Recommend buyer goes elsewhere- Buyer beware of Houk Law.

Hired Attorney Mr. Christopher Houk

He charged $325 for a telephonic consultation that lasted maybe 20 minutes. He required a $3250 retainer to write a letter to my employer about a discrimination issue. He was given a draft of what the letter was supposed to say, but instead wrote something completely different with numerous grammatical errors, referred to me by a different name, and described me as a “black African American” (I am not). He refused to refund any of my money and we had an arbitration hearing. I prevailed at the hearing and he was ordered to refund most of the retainer.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
