3 years ago I was in need of a Personal Injury attorney due to an injury that I incurred. In my search for reputable representation I came across multiple reviews for The Layton Law Firm and reached out, and am so grateful that I did. Mr. Layton has provided exemplary professionalism, service, and advocacy. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a Personal Injury attorney!!!!!

Christopher is soooooooo nice and thorough. It is a daunting task finding a lawyer, I know. Never once did he rush me, never once did he make false promises and never once did he try to sell me anything. He is a good honest and caring lawyer who sincerely cares. Look no further - this guy is remarkable and I highly recommend using him. He WILL make a difference.

Attorney Chris Layton personally spoke to me when I called in regarding a potential case. Attorney Layton was patient and took the time to understand the complexities of my case. Ultimately, he provided a referral to another form. I appreciate and respect Mr. Layton for knowing when to suggest a different approach. It is quite obvious that Mr. Layton is looking out for *me* rather than himself.

Chris has been a pleasure to speak with. I have not used his legal services, however, I am positive his attention to detail, quick responses and personability would be a huge asset. There is a lot to be said about a friendly attorney who cares about the person, not just the case and I believe Chris Layton is that attorney.

I encountered one of the hardest things to endure this past year, loosing a parent. My father lost his fight to cancer, earlier than I had anticipated. While my fathers time was so precious at the end, I had consulted with attorney Layton on assisting me with setting up my fathers will. He graciously obliged and made me feel at ease, knowing this was my first time going through loosing a parent, he was very courteous and understanding.Attorney Layton answered all my questions and walked me through the process. I am very grateful to have had his knowledge and expertise.

Chris is a great lawyer! He's very dedicated and committed to you from start to finish. We were working on my case for 2yrs before I settled! He communicated with me to make sure I was aware of everything and he made sure I got the most out of my settlement!!Bridgett McKinley

Chris Layton has been the most pleasant attorney I've interacted with. I called him about a financial/creditor problem that has followed me from Maryland. Chris took the time to look at the documents and talk with me a couple times; when he realized that I needed an attorney in Maryland he called and gave me advice on that and also gave me a recommendation for a local Greensboro attorney. All of this without being able to charge me a fee. I would recommend Chris to anyone with legal needs - he is pleasant, polite, cordial - all around a very good experience.

After experiencing a very painful injury due to someone's negligence, I reached out to "major" law firms who professed they will be on your side and fight for your well being. Each turned me down because the case wasn't big enough( a money maker). Frustrated I left a message with the Layton Law Firm and received a call back from Attorney Chris Layton( not a receptionist). He was a thoroughly attentive listener and methodically and cogently guided me on what needed to be done for the benefit of me and my family. Yes the case could turn out to be a small one monetarily yet three times Attorney Layton ensured me he would guide me in the right direction when I settled with the insurance company. Totally sincere and a real person, more attornies like Chris Layton are needed!

Chris is great. His non obtrusive and consultative approach was very much welcomed. Chris provided me great insight and knowledge and asked for very little in return. After this experience, Chris is the only attorney I will turn to when needed.

I had such a delightful experience interacting with Chris Layton. He is extremely polite, knowledgeable, personable and punctual. He provides in-depth responses to your questions and does it in a way to ensure you understand without using lots of legal jargon. I would strongly recommend contacting The Layton Law Firm for your BK and other litigation needs. Please give him a call. If he can't help, he'll definitely point you in the right direction. Win-win situation!!

My husband and I were recently in a car accident where we both suffered a personal injury. We contacted Chris Layton and had the most positive experience despite a stressful situation. He was professional, responsive, compassionate and gave us great legal advice. If we are ever in need of a lawyer in the future, Chris will be the one we call.

Chris is the greatest! He took my phone call both of the first two times I called and gave me very helpful information to get started. He made me feel comfortable and important, in that he expressed genuine concern for my situation and gave me prompt, courteous attention. I would recommend him for anyone I know, including family and friends.

Since I have known Chris all his life, he has always strived to be the best in whatever he has accomplished. I called him to ask him a question on Wills and Trust and he was so helpful with guiding me in the right direction. He doesn't even practice in my state but took the time I needed to ease my concerns. As a lawyer I wish he was licensed in Delaware because Chris would be my number one choice. His knowledge and kindness can not be matched by another.

Mr. Layton is extremely talented, resourceful, and effective. His responsive and understanding manner made him easy to talk to and work with. I had a difficult legal matter and was extremely frustrated to approach dealing with it or discussing it, but he put my mind at ease, provided amazing advice, and solved my issue quickly. I have never had such stellar assistance from a lawyer who is competent and kind.
