Professional and hard working

We contacted Christopher Strang office after battling a construction legal issue for the past 2 years with few other attorneys. Both my husband and I had a fear of lawyers, legal issues and the overall experience. However, we were in very good hands with Christopher Strang. He is very determine, v...ery kind, detail oriented, very professional and extremely hard working. It is easy to see that he enjoys his profession and he genially cares about people, which is hard to find. He made us aware of our options, layout the pros and cons and give us alternatives. We never felt rushed or pushed into a situation. He fought for us hard and we ending up winning the case. Not only that we recommend him as an attorney but we honestly have a lot of respect for him. Now, he is our permanent attorney and we are so happy to have meet him.

Helpful & efficient

Mr. Strang was recommended to me as someone who could help me with an ownership dispute in a company I helped to found, and after meeting with him at his office, I was convinced that he was both knowledgeable in the areas I cared about and understood my priorities in resolving the case. He recomme...nded several actions for the case that were very helpful in getting to a resolution in a timely and satisfactory way. Considering that I had no experience in legal matters, he was helpful in explaining potential difficulties in going to trial vs. trying to settle directly. Mr. Strang was also quick to respond to any questions that I had about either specific things (e.g. timelines) or strategy (e.g. what are good next steps?). I appreciated his responses and found his assessments to be correct at every turn. Overall I felt that I was able to trust his work to the point where I was able to spend less time on the issue at hand than I otherwise might have.

Reliable and smart

I hired Chris to create a business contract for me and he did a very thorough and detailed job. I am very 'green' when it comes to navigating these sorts of documents and Chris covered all aspects of my job in a way that could easily be understood by myself and my clients. He was also available to an...swer any follow-up questions I had.

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.
