Law Office of Christopher Haaff - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Chris Haaff is a very responsible lawyer. He took his time to explain everything very carefully. He always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. He finished my case in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Chris for a divorce attorney. He is very professional, compassionate, and proactive. He helped me get all the documentation needed to begin the divorce and guided me through the process with ease. Chris identified my needs to get the best outcome for me and my children. He walked me through all the steps and expectations of my divorce. He was always available when I needed him or had any questions or concerns. He is fair with his pricing and billing.

Chris is a very responsive and very informative attorney. He is very well versed on divorce and child support law. He helped me through my recent child support case. He was very responsive to calls and emails and would always give time frames for when he could do things so I wasn't left hanging. Would definitely recommend and hire again if needed.

Chris did a great job for me. He worked hard on the issues that were important to me and represented my best interest. He was well prepared for court. Also, he was tough with the other attorney when he needed to be and the judge seemed to like his style. I would recommend Chris Haaff to anyone.

We hired Chris for my husbands child support case. My experience was horrible. We gave information to Chris that wasn't acted on. Instead of fighting he was intent on brokering unfavorable deals with the opposing side. In addition, he was grossly unprepared and left our case in shambles. I really believe that we would of been better off representing ourselves. Please think twice before hiring Chris; as soon as you pay your retainer you won’t hear from him at ALL. Watch out for this attorney.!!!!

Chris was very reassuring and informative. He helped me understand what steps I needed to take, and what my options were. I felt very comfortable deciding to use him for my own needs, and have recommended him to several friends.

I hired attorney Chris Haaf in the Spring of 2017 to help me with a dispute between my ex wife over time with my son, and to help pursue a few other modifications in our joint parenting agreement.

When I first met with him, he was very personable. He played up the fact that he was also a divorced father, and that he had family in my same profession so I related very well to him. He had a firm handshake, looked me in the eye, and needless to say I felt very good about providing him with a large retainer.

That was the end of the good things.

From the first month, Mr. Haaf was extremely poor at returning phone calls and emails. Days up to an entire week, with no responses. I would try him at the start of the business day, mid day, and evening. Once i did finally reach him, he would always have an excuse. Whether it was helping other clients or busy with his family, there was always an excuse. He explained that he liked every one of his clients to feel like “they were the only client.” I decided to give him one more chance.

As my next court date, one which was very important in my case about a week out, I figured it was my turn in importance. Still no responses via phone or email. As my case was less than three business days away, I ended retained a different attorney. I sent him a certified letter and email to notify him that I would be taking by business elsewhere. And his response, you may be wondering? It was an invoice, showing how he carefully used every dollar of my retainer, some of it highly questionable. My favorite part was how there were items listed, “at no charge” after I notified him that he would no longer be representing me. Unbelievable.

I have requested a partial refund in his retainer fee, almost two weeks ago, and have received zero response either way.

Now I am paying another attorney to undo some of his motions, as they were wrong and having to start from square one. A complete waste of time and money.

I would not recommend Mr. Haaf for any legal needs.

To say Chris Haaff helped me through some hard times would be an understatement. Chris and his practice are absolutely amazing. He is very knowledgeable with family law and was able to guide me in the right direction with my family situation. I am very thankful I was able to connect with him and use his services. Chris Haaff and his practice are highly recommended.
