This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He was very effective and efficient

Chris knows the system and the people involved on all sides and how to deal with them. He is well respected in the criminal justice community. He helped my son out of a very difficult situation. I found him to be an honest broker and not someone who makes promises that he can't keep. Good legal r...epresentation doesn't cost... it pays by sparing a defendant many years of Jail time.

Very helpful, knows the law, and was always ready to try my case.

I was charged with a DWI, the cops said I was drunk, but I wasn't. Chris was able to have the charges dismissed after hearings. He was very well versed in the law, made me feel like part of his family. I had access to him 24 hrs a day via phone, text and email.. He always took my calls. I would recom...mend this attorney to anyone in trouble.

Chris is a great attorney, and became my long lost cousin...

I think Chris G is a great guy, he saved me from going to jail for a long time. Chris diligently worked on my case, visited me in the jail and kept my family and I informed about the status of my case. I never had trouble getting in touch with Chris and neither did my family. Chris told me, his goal ...was to foster a family atmosphere in his firm for his clients; my family and I now consider him a long lost cousin. Use this attorney, he will not let you down. Jason F.
