Posted by Dave | January 16, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Very smooth process from start to finish!

I hired Christopher for a wrongful termination suit. The entire process was very easy and the communication from his office was excellent throughout the duration of the suit. He was able to get me a quick settlement without any hassle and minimal effort on my end. No testimony or depositions were eve...r needed. Highly recommend him and his team!

My experience with Chris was exceptional.

My experience with Chris was exceptional. I began my unfortunate quest, Pro Se, mired hopelessly in City and Fed agencies hoping they would intervene with my case for discrimination, breach of a Reasonable Accommodation and Wrongful Termination. That didn’t happen. I had to file Pro Se with the U....S. District Courts when Chris agreed to join me. He was the force multiplier and we quickly moved toward the maximum plausible settlement. His easy and effective manner made all this possible. I am grateful.

Would give 6 stars if I could

Chris was empathetic, detail oriented, consistent and provided great advice in my legal conundrum with a former employer. Even more important, he was able to secure a great outcome despite dealing with a very difficult counterparty. I would strongly recommend retaining his services.

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.
