    "Friendly, Reliable, and Professional"
    Chris was great! I was involved in a car accident at a stop light and was given a ticket for following too close. The girl I hit even said it wasn't my fault, however I was still given a citation. I contacted Chris to help me get my ticket reduced to a non-moving violation after several people told me it couldn't be done since I was involved in an accident. I provided Chris with all the details of the accident and he said he would take care of it. After a few exchanged emails, Chris attended my court date and got the job done! For a small fee, my ticket was reduced to a non-moving violation. I would encourage anyone to use Chris' services because he was friendly, reliable, and professional.

    "Very Respectful and Understanding Throughout the Process"
    I contacted Gigstad Law Office when I found myself being charged with a DUI in the state of Kansas. Although I've used other lawyers in the past for other types of legal situations, I've found, much to my disappointment, that they can often be flaky, or lacking in timely communication and responsiveness. I found that Mr. Gigstad was just the opposite. His rates are reasonable, he didn't drop the ball when I needed immediate legal advice, and was very respectful and understanding throughout the process. I would definitely recommend his services.

    "Would Highly Recommend Robert to Others"
    I was facing a second DUI and was very much dreading the impact this would make on my professional career and near future goals. Robert walked me through each part of the process and made sure I understood what to expect through the court process. He was very professional and made sure that no stone was turned. The end result, unbelievably was my charges were all dismissed. He was able to find an important information that lead to the dismissal. Would highly recommend Robert to others.
