Very Good Representation
Mr. Christian represented me in a divorce case. His knowledge of the law and his skill in the court room led to a very good outcome for me

Mr. Christian is one of the best attorneys I've encountered, not only does he possess professionalism, experience and puts forth every effort to have a positive outcome; he is also just a wonderful, kind and blessed person. He cares about people outside of just performing his job as an attorney. He connects with the individual to help you become comfortable and he also educates you on the process. Talk with him and you will see just what I mean. All the best...

God sent
Mr Gabriel Christian is my first attorney I’ve encountered with and let me Just say I wouldn’t want to choose anyone else. He listens to understand and creates a safe place for you to tell your story. Very professional from how he handled my bail review in court and does his best to give you the best outcome. down to his wonderful staff. My second time in his office the sweet young ladies at the desk remembered my name by face as I walked in and offered light refreshments. I wouldn’t want any one else representing me 10/10

Amazing lawyer and life coach
Today I would like to give thanks to the lord and Christan Gabriel for representing me and my DUI case. When I came to Mr. Christian office the first thing he asked me to do is pray and from there he had a client for life. Mr. Christian likes to proactively work on the case before you get to the judge so the judgement would not be as harsh. I appreciate this approach because it shows the judge that you are actively working to make yourself a better person before your judgment or trial date. Fast forward to the court day Mr. Christian and I presented ourselves to judge and with the proactive steps Mr. Christan had me take made my trial a lot smoother. Than you so much mr. Christan for taking your time out to represent me I highly thank the lord for placing you in my life at a time of need. You are a blessing and I appreciate everything you and your team has done for me. Thank you, Christopher Dino

Very Satisfied Customer
Mr. Christian is by far the best attorney I’ve ever had. He is confident, honest and compassionate with his work. He does not only help you with your case he teaches you about your case. I initially walked into Mr. Christian’s office stressed, nervous and hopeless, after 30 minutes into the office I walked out with a smile and a lot of confidence thanks to Ms. Brook’s words of encouragement and Mr. Christian’s knowledge of the law. Thank you Mr. Usman, Mr. Tanto and the entire Law offices of Gabriel Christian and Associates.

Felony charges thrown out, the best excellent attorney
I found Mr. Christian after paying another attorney that I felt was not giving me proper legal representation. I had severe felony charges, which cost me my job because of my high-level federal government position. I met with him for the first time on very short notice before my first court appearance. Mr. Christian was able to get felony charges thrown out at the Preliminary Hearing; then, Domestic Violence charges dismissed the next day. Not only is he an excellent attorney, he cares and is concerned with the best interest of his clients.

The Lawyer of the People
Mr. Christian did his due diligence and used the law to keep my son from facing any jail or probation time. His faith and expertise was phenomenal to watch in action, and for that I’m forever grateful. Thanks

Amazing man
Mr Christian did a amazing job with my son case. He recommended us not to take the plea, because he didn't want the issue to follow him into his adult hood. That in it's self made me very comfortable in trusting him. He believed my son deserved a second chance. Mr Christian is lawyer that starts and ends with prayer and in times like this, it is very comforting. The staff that Mr Christian has working beside him is AMAZING...Mrs Brooks is there to help, she is personable and truly cares. I can't say enough about this firm. As a woman that never thought I would be in situation that I would need a lawyer her only son (that has taking a miss step in the beginningof his adulthood) . I am truly thankful to God for sending me to this firm.

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Christian is an honest and trusting lawyer who gets it done. He represented me when I was a teenager facing hard time. He got me probation. Today was another day and a different case and he is still the same. I am thankful for him and his law firm for their service to me and my family for almost 28 years and still. We trust him with our lives. A down to earth and helpful lawyer who cares about the person not the money.
