Absolutely wonderful experience having our wills written! Chris made the process go so smoothly and answered all of our questions. Being new to NC, he also explained some of the legal nuances of the state. So happy we choose his firm.

Chris has to be the best bankruptcy attorney in Charlotte. I came to him with little hope about my financial situation & I wasn't expecting to get a positive result. From the day I had my initial consultation with him, I could tell he was being straight with me. He was open & honest, while displaying care about what I was going through. I know that I can trust him & would recommend anyone that was needing a bankruptcy to him without blinking because I know he would help them the same as me.

I recently needed to have a new will drawn up. The Layton Law Firm was recommended for their professionalism and focus on a client's needs.When I contacted Mr. Layton I was pleased he immediately returned my call. He reviewed the services he could provide. I found him to be articulate and knowledgeable.Most of our sessions had to be done digitally due to CO-VID 19. This was not a problem. Chris very quickly answered all emails and addressed any concerns right away.I found Chris very conscientious and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

We had an excellent experience with Chris managing the closing of our home sale. He was responsible, helpful and the closing was completed without issue. We would definitely choose Chris for future legal needs.

I came to the Layton Law Firm upon the recommendation of a friend. I had been out of work for some time but had recently found my dream job. Well by that time, the financial stress was compounded. So I came to Chris somewhat ashamed. After assessing my situation he told me to look at this as a season; a time that would pass at some point.With my confidence restored, Chris and Jenny walked me through the process from start to finish. I had to do a lot of work to provide the necessary documentation in a timely fashion but then Chris and Jenny took over. They ushered me through court sessions, answered all my questions quickly, and advised me on the steps I needed to take beyond my filings.Today, I am happy to report that my financial recovery is on track. I have been able to make major purchases for justified needs and get my and my family's life back on track.Being honest, Chris and his team were a God-send. Without their help I would be financially crippled today. Without his advice and reassurance, I would be walking around in shame. Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 are just that..Chapters. They are not the entire book!

Chris Layton represented me in a slip and fall case. I was in so much pain I could not go to his office. He called reviewed everything over the phone and sent me the paperwork and we got started. Once I finished treating we spoke and planned to meet in person, I missed the appointment. Chris was patient and understanding. He was very responsive and answered EVERY question I had. When it seemed to be too much to explain in email he would call me. Once the demand letter was sent to the defendant Chris' office sent me a timeline to explain how the negotiation process would work. Everything flowed perfectly and then COVID19 hit. The defendants company was not in a position to negotiate any further. We decided to wait patiently. While we were waiting I would pose questions to Chris and he would respond within 24hr. We communicated in some form each month. In June I reached out to see how he and his family and co-workers were doing given the COVID19 situation. After that call Chris reached out the defendant even though I told him there was no rush. He called me back sent the release and on June 19th I picked up my check and met Chris for the 1st time in person. It was such a pleasure to finally meet the person who had helped me sight unseen. What I appreciated the most was not having to chase him down for answers or to ensure he was doing his part. He was on point and I can assure you that should I need an attorney for anything in the future Chris will be my first call, even if he has to refer me to someone who specializes in my area of need. I trust him just that much!

Being in a car accident can be very nerve-racking and having to search for a personal injury lawyer you can trust can be very scary. After doing some research I chose to contact The Layton Law Firm and after meeting with Christopher Layton, I knew he would be the right guy to handle my family’s personal injury cases. Mr. Layton and his team were very professional and addressed all our needs and responded to ALL my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. I highly recommend The Layton Law Firm.

I can't recommend Chris Layton and his staff enough! I decided to do a little self lawyering around my debt and ended up in basically a mess. From my first call with Chris to my most recent conversation with Jenny, an amazingly informed and helpful paralegal in the office, I've never felt rushed and I'm constantly given options on how to proceed forward. I've had many questions as I've gone along and whether it's voicemail or email the response time from the office is incredibly prompt and thorough. Chris returned one of my calls on a Saturday and Jenny emailed me back on a question last week while on funeral leave!Did I mention that so far I haven't been charged a dime! I'm not a pro bono case, I simply haven't reached the point where court time has been necessary but I expect it will be. To that end however Chris was very upfront on his fees and even gave me options with that as well as historically based expectations/outcomes.The firm's professional, options based, communicative, and caring guidance has given me great relief knowing they are out in front of everything that can come up and there for me.Carl B.

My experience with The Layton Law Firm was a good one. Chris was helpful, and very professional. What I liked most was whenever Chris and I would meet to discuss my case he didn't rush through the information. He made sure I understood the process, and what I should expect as the end result. Thanks Chris.

The price was more than fair and Chris' professionalism was off the charts as he answered all the questions I had. Highly recommend Chris for any legal matters his firm handles.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Layton Law Firm! Mr. Layton is a knowledgeable, professional and caring attorney. He worked diligently to ensure I understood each step of the bankruptcy process-something I thought would be completely overwhelming. I very was impressed with how quickly he responded and resolved my questions. The entire staff went above and beyond.

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 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!

Brian Payton

23:22 05 Jun 18

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!!

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.
