Arbitration Attorney | Jul 19

Litigation Attorney | Jul 02
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I fully endorse Chris Kriesen in the area of trial litigation. The best word to describe Chris would be "intrepid." He may be characterized as having resolute fearlessness, fortitude and endurance. His integrity is unsurpassed and he is truly a creative and innovative thinker. I have the highest regard for Chris, and the people and companies who hire him are lucky to have him at their side."
Mediation Attorney | Jun 27
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Chris is innovating and breaking new ground in client-centered representation and mediation. His skills and insights for both his own clients and those for whom he mediates helps reach the best and right results and restores faith and confidence in the legal system."
Mediation Attorney | Jun 27
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris recently served as a mediator for one of my cases, and did a great job. He spent a considerable amount of time listening to my client, exploring areas that helped increase the settlement value of the case. Ultimately he persuaded the other side to pay more money than they wanted to. He was very attentive and hard working and was a great choice. I will definitely suggest him again."
