Comments About Chris
"Chris is ideally qualified by scholarship, temperament, and experience to sit on the Court of Appeals....When Chris called [in 2008], I agreed to be campaign treasurer even though we would be arguing opposite sides of an important case and despite my friendship with and high regard for one of his opponents. I made that decision because Chris is the ideal sort of person for that position, and because our system of running for judicial office will not automatically select the best judge."

Treasurer, Committee to Elect Chris McFadden
"I can attest to Chris's skill and his integrity....Chris embodies judicial temperament. He is thoughtful and guided by the highest ethical standards. To meet and speak to him for five minutes makes plain he was born to be a judge."
Leigh Braslow Altman
Attorney at Law
Decatur, Georgia
"He knows the rules and he looks at things impartially. That's what a judge should do."

"Chris McFadden has a sharp legal mind and a solid judicial temperament. I am proud to support his candidacy for the Court of Appeals."
Tom Ellington

"His contributions to the profession, both in his authorship of a book on appellate advocacy, and his service and leadership within the Atlanta Bar Association, provide further evidence of the full breadth of his character."

Attorney and Counselor at Law

"What impressed me about Chris was a comment he made that it was not his role to be 'tough on crime' but rather to make sure the law is applied properly. I found this to be refreshing and candid for a politician. That and the fact that he wrote the book we all rely on. How much more obvious can the choice be?"

From Chris's Former Wife
"I have never actively campaigned for, or donated money to, a candidate for political office before now. But there is a candidate for the Georgia Appeals Court that I am so impressed with that I'm going all out. I am actively campaigning for my former husband, Chris McFadden."
"I have known Chris for over 30 years and he is, by far, the most honest man I have ever met in my life. Christopher McFadden is the kind of person you want to be a judge. He will not publicly discuss his own political leanings, but will only promise to be fair and impartial. Isn't that what a judge is supposed to do? Please join me in supporting Chris's campaign. "

From Chris's Wife, Linda
"I have seen how deeply he cares about the people he tries to help through his work in appeals. Chris loves the law and its power to do good. He is frustrated when the law is not followed and justice is not served." Read more...
