Very pleased

Mr. McCormick was very thorough and explained things. He made me feel very comfortable during a rather stressful time in my life. I was totally impressed. He handled the remote meetings great. I'm pretty sure I was the first client during the Covid-19. I was very relaxed speaking to him. He was profe...ssional yet down to earth. I would recommend Christoper McCormick to anyone in need for a Bankruptcy issue or any other legal issue that he handles.
