Your coaching is a huge help to people like me in a similar situation.   You gave very good advice and it helped ease my stress in what I am going through.

- Laura

I can't thank you enough for reaching out to me on a personal level on Thursday evening to insure that I was well.  You went above and beyond Chris to look out for my emotional well-being.  You exceeded my expectations.

- Ronald

I went well over our appointment time. Thanks for not kicking me out.   You helped me understand the process and what I could expect. It was so informative.  I can somewhat breathe now.

- Michelle

 Chris turned what can be a nightmare of an experience into a pleasant and affordable one.  He was extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and an all around friendly person.  If I had to go through this process again, I would not hesitate to use his services, and would suggest this alternative to anyone.  For the many people who cannot afford the full services of an attorney, we are lucky to have the coaching option there, and Attorney Chris Pearsall goes above and beyond to give us that option.  Thank you for making my divorce so easy and affordable.

- Courtney 

  Chris, Thanks so much for all your effort, couldn't  have completed this without you.  You did a great job and I will recommend your services to anyone in need. It was more than a pleasure to work with you on this case, you are not your average lawyer!! 

- Robert 

   Just a letter of appreciation for the fantastic job you provided me handling my divorce. It was exactly as you said it would be with no surprises.  I did call four other lawyers and none could even come close to your fee. Thank you again for all that you have done for me.  

 -Fred 

  Chris made me feel that he would go after exactly what I needed in the courtroom and reunite me with my daughter.  It was a very stressful time for me and my family and Chris had the answers that made me feel better and confident that things will go the way that they should.  Although we can never control how a judge will go, knowing that there is someone who will be on my side 100% is the best way to know that in the end we will get exactly what we need!  I can happily say I have had a great time reuniting with my daughter and enjoying my complete family once again thanks to Chris!

- John 

   You are so much [more] than just a lawyer. You're  real, knowledgeable, and have a great heart. Thank you for your words of encouragement. As you know it is really hard to find a job out there. Especially without a college degree.

-Helder 

    Chris acts not so much as an attorney, but more of a friend that leads you by the hand through the archaic maze known as Rhode Island divorce law.  
I complicated the process by moving out of state soon after filing.  Chris then reached out to guide me [through] Rhode Island’s judiciary step by step through the laws they are sworn to follow.  I could praise his unlimited knowledge of the system, but most importantly to me is that I trust Chris completely.  He is honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable.  I can offer no higher compliment, and I thank him for all he has done for me.

- Mark 

   Wow! Thank you so much for your work in my regard on this matter. Thank you as well also for all of your thoughtful perspective on the personal side. If ever afforded the chance I will certainly strongly recommend you as legal counsel for friends and acquaintances who may be in need of representation or coaching regarding divorce and the family court. Although it sometimes seems not to be the case, justice was served here, and it would not have been so if not for your efforts..

- Ray 

    Thank you for taking care of this case for us - we appreciate it.  We especially appreciate your attention to "us" - all too often lawyers don't seem to really care about their clients or even bother to return phone calls or emails - but you were different, you were very attentive to communicate with us, even when there wasn't anything new to update.  Our past experiences have shown us that you can't pay someone to "care" and when you are in the family court, you are generally fighting for the most important thing to you...your children.  For the client, we think about it everyday, and we want our attorney's to think about it too, we want them to care about it as much as we do - but all too often, this isn't the case.  Having you for an attorney changed our thinking, and we know that there is at least "one guy" out there that is fighting for his clients with compassion and for that we are grateful.  

 - Patrick and Sarah 

     When I first contemplated getting a divorce I was really scared about how to go about it and the amount of money it was going to cost.
After talking with Christopher Pearsall at the first meeting, I left feeling relaxed and understanding what I needed to do to represent myself in the divorce.  He walked me through step by step on what was needed as far as paperwork and what would happen in court.  Everything he told me happened exactly as he said it would.  
As I sat in court and listened to lawyers representing their clients I realized that the script that I was going to present to the judge was the same as what the lawyers were asking their clients.  Instead of my divorce costing me thousands it only cost me hundreds.  I would highly recommend Chris for your divorce coach.

- Lisa 

I went to court. All went great! I went to the clerk's office to have them check my paperwork. The lady says, "Did someone help you with these?"  I said, "Yes why?" She says, "Because this paperwork is GREAT"!! "  Now  I'm done and divorced thanks to you!  Thank god I found you!! I will say it again you're the best!

- Brenda

 Being a veteran of the divorce process myself and having worked with and knowledge of many attorney's, I found Mr. Pearsall to be extremely devoted, loyal and knowledgeable of the ever changing Rhode Island divorce laws, policy and procedures. He stands above the rest and is much preferable to the high priced city based attorney's. I would, without hesitation, recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in need of a first class, affordable divorce attorney who will never give up and is always assessable for his clients.

-Neil

I can't thank you enough for your help and support during this process; once I knew you were in charge it is was as if a huge weight had been lifted.  You are excellent at what you do and an asset to all who find themselves in the unfortunate position of being at risk for losing their children.  I truly believe you care about the people you represent and are driven by achieving positive outcome unlike so many of your cohorts who seemingly create strife to increase billable hours.

- Erik

You are clearly one of the "best" family law attorneys in RI.  I sense that your approach is intended to minimize confrontation and controversy.  If anyone you consult with has any doubts about your capabilities, please feel free to have them contact me by email or telephone.

-Steve

 Just wanted to send you a quick message thanking you so much again for doing such a great job with my divorce case!   It was fast and everything went the way we wanted!

- Dylan

It's nice to know that you're so willing to help and that you care enough for people to be so forthcoming with information. 

There are no words that I can say to express my thanks and gratitude.  You're help and tenacity was more than enough and I truly appreciate it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

- Jason

 I don’t believe l could have made a better choice. Even though l never met him personally after a conversation on the phone l felt as if l had known him for years. He accepted my case and within a couple of weeks the paperwork started and even though it was 7 plus months before the final paperwork was done he kept me up to date with everything that was done and completed the final agreement. I don’t think in any divorce there is a perfect settlement but in my case l am extremely satisfied with the outcome, and would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer. He fully understands the system and and has the compassion to help you feel better during all the trying times that a divorce can bring out.

-Bob 

  Again thank you from the bottom of my heart and on the behalf of my daughter and the dogs.  Thank you for all of your hard work, overtime and the extra six miles you went above and beyond on this case and for believing in me when in this day in age so many others wouldn't.

- William  

   Chris is not just a divorce lawyer.  He is a very supportive person during a time of stress and uncertainty.  His fees are very reasonable and his advice invaluable.  In addition to his "coaching" he will assist you in preparing the various legal documents that are needed or even draft them for you if necessary.  I recommend Chris to anyone who needs to go through an amicable, uncontested divorce and has limited financial resources.  You can't do any better.

- Barry 

   I had no idea how complex the divorce process could be... even though my situation was amicable, it still appeared I would need extensive and expensive legal support.  When I initially looked into my options, including Attorney Pearsall's divorce coaching classes, I was really just looking for the quickest and least expensive way through this process.  Now that the entire process is complete, I am so thankful I made the choice I did.  Not only did I save a LOT of time and money (even compared to other options for amicable divorces, such as arbitration), but I felt the time/money I did spend was used to explain each step and requirement thoroughly.  Instead of handing over (at great cost) the process to somebody else, I felt comfortable knowing I was well informed and in control at each step.  It really reduced my stress during this unpleasant time of my life.  Even the judges and clerks I interacted with commented on how helpful the various forms Chris has developed were, and how well prepared I was compared to other individuals who do not use the typical legal route.

- Jerry  

   Yes, I am still smiling!!!  .... Thanks again for all of your hard work on this case.  It was a pain-in-the-ass and a very frustrating process and you handled it well and kept me in check. I truly appreciate the rate at which you provide your services.  It is a great help to all of us folks who have been stricken by the unfair divorce process and machine.

- Christopher 

 Thank you!  I have complete confidence that you were the right choice for me and the welfare of my children. I appreciate your honesty and kind words and you have my word that I will listen to you and put my full trust in you as my attorney and as the Lord tells me to do so. You're a good man stuck in an awful system and I commend you for trying to do the right thing for your clients even when you can't control the system. 

- Jason 

Thank you!  You made this process very easy.

- Candy

The divorce is done.  Thanks so much Chris. You were awesome.

- Wendy

Thank you very much for meeting with me.  I certainly feel more comfortable going into the courtroom.

- Angel

 Knowing that I had such a kind and concerned advocate for me made the process infinitely easier.  Please know that I truly appreciated all that you did to help me through the divorce.  And boy what a relief to get it done!

- Roka 

  I just wanted to say a great thank you for your help.  Things went great in court.  I was able to get exactly what I wanted in child support (retroactive to the day I filed and garnished from his wages), car insurance payments for him to stop immediately, and a mediation date.  I brought up about the no entry of appearance, no DR-6, and no answer to my divorce claim (5 months later).  The judge was not happy, and made him look foolish.

- Joy 

   All of a sudden I feel a sense of peace. That has been a rare feeling these last several months. I am so glad to have my case securely in your hands. I'm smiling as I'm writing this.

- Carolyn 

    Chris, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with the divorce. We were both very pleased with all your hard work and effort.  You made the whole experience much easier to deal with and I left the court feeling very positive.  It was so nice to end everything in such a peaceful way.  Thanks again.

- Jennifer 

   A very dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable attorney and advisor that helped guide me during a trying and confusing time in my life: his experience and execution of matters were superb.

- Diane

   Thank you for going above and beyond on the mess I was in.  If anyone needs your services I know who to send them to.

- Alan
