CLIENT EXPERIENCE | LANDLORD & TENANT LAW
“Chris von Buttlar was excellent to work with on a very difficult legal matter. My case involved a real estate eviction dispute and related tort claims that had been mishandled from the beginning by other lawyers. The situation was extremely stressful because the tenant and opposing side were among the most difficult people I have ever dealt with. In my opinion, they were dishonest, manipulative, and willing to say or do almost anything to avoid responsibility.
Chris handled the case with judgment and professionalism. He was real, straightforward, and practical. He seemed to actually care about the bigger picture and my best interests, not just the paperwork or the next billable hour. He took the time to understand the full history of the case, including the mistakes made by prior counsel, the eviction issues, the tort-related claims, and the difficult behavior from the opposing side.
What stood out most was that Chris could have stretched the case out and billed more and more, but he did not do that. Instead, he focused on getting the case to a realistic settlement and protecting my interests. That is rare. Many lawyers would have used a messy case like this as a chance to keep billing, overcomplicate the process, and drag everything out. Chris did the opposite.
Even with an extremely bad tenant, difficult opponents, and other lawyers making the case harder than necessary, Chris did a great job helping bring the matter to settlement. I appreciated his honesty, communication, legal judgment, and ability to stay focused when the case was messy, frustrating, and full of unnecessary conflict.
I would recommend Chris von Buttlar to anyone dealing with a complicated real estate, eviction, litigation, or tort-related matter, especially when the case requires someone who can see the big picture, handle difficult people, and put the client’s interests first.”
