Law Offices of Del Ponte & Hirz

I hired Chris to help me with my divorce. He was extremely helpful, hard-​working and knowledgeable about Family Law. He was able to answer every question I had, offer helpful suggestions and assisted me in making the best decisions for my case. He was honest and always returned calls and emails in a timely manner. He really helped me navigate through the divorce process in the smoothest way possible. I highly recommend his services.

Chris really came through to get me through a rough time in my life (divorce). He was honest, kind and a good person. My wife’s atty. was the opposite and I think I can say that there is something to the olé saying … «you reap what you sow».
P.S — It is very difficult to find a good attorney

I was dissatisfied with the services provided by Christopher Hirz. My retainer was cleaned out and a lot more in a matter of weeks without even appearing at the court once and made very little progress to the case. He had his junior attorney work hours on a supplementary form to a document that was previous filed with the court. The supplemental form never got filed with the court and ended up being the most expensive, unproductive piece of document. He was very opinionated about how he wanted the case to progress and I didn’t feel peace about it. I felt that I was going to lose even before we appeared at the court. This is just my opinion. Other than that, he is intelligent and knows the family law. His communication skills were good. He was good at quickly returning emails and phone calls.

Chris and his staff provided me with excellent, professional, and caring service during my case. He has an excellent understanding of the law and provided me with a smart, well strategized approach to my case. I am very happy with the outcome and felt I was in good hands with Chris. I recommend him without hesitation.

I was most impressed by how Chris Hirz can process info like a computer — fast and accurate. During the 1^st appointment he scanned through a thick stack of my MSA papers done by another firm, and spotted the critical sentence regarding attorney fees, which was obviously neglected by my husband’s lawyer, who initially participated in creating the MSA. Lawyers charge by time, fast info processing saves legal cost. My legal fee to Chris was less than that of my husband’s fee to his lawyer even though his lawyer’s hourly rate is lower than that of Chris.
What I appreciate even more was Chris’ integrity and honesty when he told me frankly that my assets in real estate are safer than cash, which is easiest to grab by lawyers. In contrast to the family lawyers whose goal was to divide as much «attorney fees» as possible from innocent couples’ life savings, Chris at least has a heart.

I’ve never needed an attorney before. Lou Limon and Chris Hirz helped me feel at ease with the situation I was in. If i ever needed any legal help again I would definitely go back to them.

Dennis Del Ponte was recommended to me by a friend who has been in the midst of a family court issue herself. I am working with Chris Hirz and also new associate attorney Nora. I have been impressed with Mr. Hirz thoroughness, review, and most importantly, professionalism. He knows the family court judges and their nuances very well, understands what to prep me on, and has always been up front as to what to expect. His advice is invaluable as I content with a difficult to deal with other side. You will be in excellent hands with both Mr. Del Ponte and Mr. Hirz. Having their expertise gives me peace of mind.
