Relationship: Worked together on matter
I recently worked with Chris on a business litigation matter that involved potential discrimination. I was very impressed with his professionalism and sound legal judgment. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking top notch legal representation. I am also very impressed with the work Chris and his firm do for veterans. Veterans are a notoriously under-served community and Chris and Argos Legal Group are doing great work making sure veterans get the representation they need and deserve. Class act.

Chris is a fantastic attorney and a better person. Chris and I not only went to law school together but served in the same Marine Corps unit in Iraq. He knows first hand how difficult it can be to navigate through the VA and has dedicated his law practice to serving the Veteran community by making sure everyone is afforded excellent representation.
Jeffrey Katzenstein, General practice Attorney on Aug 10, 2018

Chris has a keen attention to detail and a true commitment to his clients. I highly recommend him.
