Excellent as well as practical legal advice

Chrys is an excellent lawyer, but in my view what sets her apart is her understanding of client needs and ability to respond quickly with practical advice. Her broad base of experience and ability to quickly and accurately assess risk, coupled with unusual responsiveness, have proven very valuable ...to me over the years. She puts the needs of her clients first and seeks honest feedback about how the relationship can be even better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
