Based on 86 reviews

See all reviews

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.

Alissa K.

Very polite, straight to the point and extremely helpful.

Eric

Christopher Layton from the Layton Firm was the man standing by my side when I was drowning in a Legal Dispute. He walked me through the legal process as if he was my friend. He got me out of my situation successfully. If you are involved in a Civil Litigation,save yourself the trouble of getting the run around, contact his office. He will get you results.

Jeanclaude St G.

Not only was Chris easy to talk to and a super cool guy, but he really knows his stuff! Really trustworthy guy and made dealing with my case easy and quick. I feel confident in recommending him to everyone I know, and even people I don't. Best lawyer hands down!

Ryan Van G.

Chris is my family lawyer and I cannot speak highly enough of him!He has helped successfully with a personal injury matter and through the process he was so patient and respectful and kind and did an excellent job. He did such a good job that I have used him for multiple situations.I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone!Thank you Chris!

Madeline K.

A true personal injury professional, Chris was a joy to work with!

Allie U.

From start to finish nothing but a pleasant and professional experience. I highly recommend Layton Law Firm!

Becky R.

Attorney Layton has been nothing but professional. I highly recommended using him for your legal needs. I have already recommended him to people.

Ms. Toya H

Chris helped our small business navigate through the complex web of negotiating with a large fortune 500 company. Great experience for us. Thanks Chris!

Brian V.

Great at what they do I would recommend using them to anyone 👍🏽

Joshua W.

Chris was very helpful, responsive and professional. He provided useful information and was very prompt with his responses. Thank you Chris!

pamela B.

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.

Roger

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.

Brian P.

Super helpful! Chris answered all our questions and in a timely manner! Our family would HIGHLY recommend!!

Jessica B.

I had a particularly confusing issue with a bank and Chris used his expertise to navigate to a successful conclusion. I have used Chris several times and will continue to do so. I have also recommended Chris to others

Dennis M.

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.

Judith G.

I needed a Will done for the family and Chris got me a questionnaire almost instantly which was easy to decipher and complete. 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.

Joseph S.

I had the best experience working with Chris at the Layton Law Firm. He guided me through all I needed to know in order to make the best decisions for my situation. Chris is an advocate for his clients and puts their interests first. I highly recommend working with the Layton Law Firm.

Gina Q.

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!

Shawn S

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.

Kelly G.

Chris and his staff help me get reimbursed after another vehicle hit me. They were always sending me updates and letting me know where we were in the process. Hopefully I wont have to use them in a personal level but I am more than happy to recommend them!

Laura V.

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.

sherri E.

I don’t normally write reviews but wanted to share what a great experience we had with Chris. He was so helpful and patient with all our questions. Very progressional. Definitely recommend!

Kristen W.

In our opinion there is no better direction to turn than the Layton Law firm.

Mihaly Land D.

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.

Karesa E.

Worked with Chris and Jenny and was extremely happy with the results. Very Professional and would recommend them to anyone needing their services

Jonathan C.

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!

Phil S.

Chris was amazing! So thankful for all his help! He was so patient with me through all my questions. He answered all my emails and calls in a timely manner. I couldn’t of asked for a better lawyer!!! If you are looking for the best, look no further!

Julie B.

Chris was extremely helpful with information and advice regarding my situation. He is quick with communication via email and phone, and he genuinely cares about his clients.

Amy N.

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.

Michael S.

The Staff and himself were on top of my concerns and my ailments and were very warm to me like I was a family member. More later as case moves ahead.

Sterling W.

Mr. Layton is hands down the best! He helped me through a really tough time. He is professional, organized, and so helpful. I had so many questions. He never hesitated to answer them and never treated them as “silly” questions. I would definitely recommend Layton Law Firm.

Julia G.

Chris was so helpful and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Jessica S.

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

Chaz B.

I felt this firm was very professional but also personally above and beyond with us. We had a very traumatic event in our family that required the services of Chris Layton. He was a great help to us in our time of need. I highly recommend!

dnbr

The Layton Firm took care of all! My needs, and in the end Chris got me the best financialCompensation I could have hoped for. Layton Law Firm in the end, is your best! Choice. Go with a winner & be a winner. Thanks again Chris & your associates for everything.....!

The N.

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.

Vegan R.

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.

fran F.

Chris is very professional and I felt at ease knowing he is handling my case

Rodnesha P.

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!

Cheryl H.

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!!

Kenya G.

Chris is everything I was looking for in a lawyer. He is honest, professional and very thorough. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and to be sure I received the best possible outcome. It was nice to work with someone who really cared about doing a good job for me.

Diane E.

Christopher Layton is the only injury lawyer I've ever needed. I was hit by a car on my bike, hurt my back a little and had no idea the Insurance would help pay me back for any damages or bills. I was afraid to go to the doctor because I couldn't afford it, so I reached out to Layton law firm. He gave me recommendations for doctors that are willing to be paid by the reimbursement which helped so much.Overall, I wouldn't have gone to the doctor and wouldn't have made a single dime if it wasn't for Chris Layton. He seriously helped me when I didn't even know I needed it. He will maximize your return, he works very hard to be sure of it.

Nick H.

Good person, great lawyer...very responsive and extremely professional!

Bradley U.

Working with Vanessa and Chris was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As a mortgage loan officer, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with many professionals, and The Layton Law Firm truly stands out.

3 years ago I was in need of a Personal Injury attorney due to an injury that I incurred.

Julie A.

They were soo much help , especially Jenn

Very professional!! You can truly feel he cares about your situation and wants to see the best outcome possible. He is very thorough and explains everything well!! Definitely recommend this firm!

Kelly W.

Right after my mom passed away we found ourselves in a contract dispute with a mortuary services provider. This was a pre-paid agreement. We learned this company was no longer able to provide the services that had been agreed upon. We requested a refund. The company would only offer a small fraction of the original cost to be refunded. We hired Layton Law to fight this battle during our time of bereavement. They were quickly able to recover 100% of the investment that had been made. They were friendly, responsive, easy to work with and followed through to the end. We are grateful. Thank you Layton Law!

Mark S.

Super customer service! Took the time to walk me through options and was very responsive.

Darryl B.

Chris is a joy to work with; he is professional as well as friendly. He treats you like a person and not a paycheck.

Caitlin D.

Chris was excellent with handling my case in a timely manner. The service was excellent and the results were wonderful. Also, not to mention his asssitant Jenny was a phone call away and she is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about a problem that I might have had about my case.

Noble A.

I highly recommend the Layton Law Firm. The service was excellent and the results were wonderful. I'm glad I chose Chris Layton to represent me.

Melissa S.

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.

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.
