Awesome!!

Christopher is an awesome attorney!! He will fight for fairness and for your family! I have absolutely no complaints about my experience with him. He was in constant contact with me about everything! I highly recommend him!!

truly a blessing

Kris helped me through such an emotional and tough time. He was honest with me even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear (but it's what I needed to hear). He was realistic with expectations. He always made time for me, was quick responding to emails and never left me hanging. He was my Samwise Gamgee... helping me through the land of Mordor and we defeated the arch-villain Sauron. I will definitely be calling Kris the next time I need any help.

Review

Kris has done an excellent job. Very happy with our outcome of my daughter. Thank you!

A Competent and Compassionate Advocate

Kris has worked closely with me over the last few months during a difficult custody dispute and was able to simultaneously inject both compassion and competent professionalism into an emotionally trying situation. His clear, calm explanations at every step of the process gave me confidence that my ca...se was proceeding as we had planned and, ultimately, I did receive the outcome that he assured me I would have. I highly recommend Kris for his technical acumen, attention to detail, and his ability to make each client feel that they are heard and understood. You can trust Kris to represent you well.

Ms.

Working with Kris was a great experience. He fought for me to get custody for my children and guided me through the whole process. He was very prepared and on point in the court room. I would recommend him to anyone else who is going through the same thing as I was.

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.
