Chris was incredibly responsive and thorough, always ensuring my questions were fully answered. When I seemed uncertain, he went above and beyond to clarify, digging deeper into the issues to leave no stone unturned. I especially appreciated his proactive approach—he analyzed the situation from the perspective of opposing counsel and used that insight to strategize effectively. His attention to detail and forward-thinking were invaluable. Beyond his professional skills, Chris is also the kind of person you’d enjoy spending time with—friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to.

I worked with Chris in 2018 while going through a divorce . I knew nothing about finding a lawyer , or what the legalities of a divorce entailed . He kindly offered me to come in and speak with him. From the beginning, he explained things In great detail and gave me options . From there we talked about moving forward and what that would look like . Never did I feel pressured or felt like my opinion didn’t matter. He is straightforward and tells you exactly what his plan is . He would always contact me prior to doing anything and wanted to know my opinion . Long of the short my divorce was settled in 3 mths . Sorry for just posting this 7 yrs later but better late than never ! Would highly recommend Banas Law Firm . Thank you for making this process smooth . Kindly, Beth Holthaus

Lisa is a fierce advocate for her clients. Midway through my case, I switched attorneys and I am so glad I did. Lisa provided insights and expertise that were critical to turning my case around and repairing my reputation with the court. Adaptable and flexible, Lisa was able to pivot quickly as the need arose and come up with creative solutions. Working together, Lisa and Chris draw on each others strengths and are a powerful force. I highly recommend Banas Law for child custody.

As a women in her early 60’s with no experience working though complex legal issues, I will be forever grateful that I found Mr. Banas. My divorce was complex and one of the rare cases that did not settle. Not only was his performance in the courtroom superb, but the result of my judgement was far better than I was being offered for settlement. I realize that this is due to many factors and not just his performance on Game Day but it was impressive none the less. I would also point out that his advice regarding the strategy I should be taking in order to secure the best possible judgment for myself was the biggest key in my outcome. This was not a path I would have guessed but I believe was the biggest contributing factor for my favorable judgment. With all that said, the biggest compliment I can give about my experience is the treatment I received by Chris and his staff. They answered all questions and were incredibly patient explaining things to me that I was simply ill equipped to handle. At no point did I feel like I was just a case or just a number. I felt heard and I felt strength throughout the process ( over 2 years!) because of that. In closing I simply cannot recommend them enough for their performance on all levels, and would point anyone I care about in their direction.

Chris Banas was exceptional in helping me through the legalities of my divorce. The divorce process can be scary and overwhelming. Chris was transparent, honest, and quick to respond to my many questions. I always felt like I was in good hands and feel as though I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer in navigating what has arguably been one of my most difficult times in my life. Because of my positive experience with Banas Family Law I approached Chris a year later to support me through the school decision process. A failed mediation attempt led to the decision to use a limited scope parental consultant. Because Lisa Banas has experience as a parental consultant she was able to walk me through the process and to provide advice. Chis and Lisa Banas have been invaluable resources in assisting me in getting the best outcome for my children and for myself. I have recommended Banas Family Law to family and friends and will continue to do so. And, while I hope to never need their services again, I have piece of mind knowing that they're there if I do.
