Plenty of traffic tickets in one shot

Attorney Christopher was very professional, was able to resolve everything quickly and knew exactly what he needed to do. I was able to walk out of court with my license and with no points I am very grateful for everything that was done. Also, I would like to thank his assistant Wanda who was except...ional in handling all the back office work for My mother and I.

SIMPLY the best expereince

I received many, many, many, advertisements in the mail regarding my careless driving ticket. He did EXACTLY what he said when others said it couldn't be done. Chris was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything. He was very professional and the results he produced couldn't have be...en any better. I truly appreciate his help and would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

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.
