Serious Law helped me with a serious family law case. I don't want to get into detail, but the outcome was very good. Mr. Culbertson is a "pitbull" lawyer!

My case was not your run of the mill but Kris took it on with professionalism and zeal. I have to admit I got frustrated, sad and angry at the legal process but he kept me steady and in the end both felony charges were dismissed by Guilford county Superior Court. You cannot match his knowledge or passion for the law. Hire him if you find need of his services.

I'm James Munroe, another actual client of Mr. Culbertson's. He is an excellent attorney. The guy beats the opposition if it is at all legally possible. The problem with sites like this is that people who don't leave their names -- who are probably the people Culbertson wins agains in court -- try to pose as if they were represented by him. He also sues internet trolls who post malicious stuff about him and others. His actual clients love him. He's a serious lawyer.

I'm Terri McQuade, a client of Mr. Culbertson's. Krispen has handled several matters for me and is now helping me to form a business. I get the impression that many of these other posts are by non-clients, and people Mr. Culbertson has sued for doing bad things (online, for example). I am a real client. Culbertson is very, very effective and really cares about his clients.

I went through a difficult period in my life, unfortunately where I was not always thinking with clarity - which required the services of an Attorney in which I employed Krispen Culbertson. On three separate occasions in a short period of time, Krispen represented me. His knowledge of the law, the courtroom and his ease of traversing each resulted in a more than satisfactory verdict in each of those cases.

Don’t waste your time read the recent reviews, anonymous good reviews? That’s weird…, this guy got recognition 20 years ago for getting a drunk driver off on murder charges.(he blamed the car) He’s arrogant, untimely, he may have been sharp at one time but now he seems more focused on things other than his clients. His contract threatens people that leave negative reviews.- should have been a clue.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
