A Great Lawyer

Mr Christian is a great lawyer and a Godly man. He is not about the money but making sure justice is done. He represented my son in the best way and saved his life. He also encourages young people like my to read, steer clear of trouble and contribute positively to society by joining service organiza...tions. Mr Christian is a man who worked hard and prayed with us for a successful outcome. If you want someone who truly cares and can work for the best possible result go to Gabriel Christian. I give thanks to his team - especially his Fronr Desk Manager Mr Alex Alfaro who is equally competent and kind. God bless them all at that law office.

A Terrific Lawyer - We love him!

We love Mr Christian because he is the best at what he does. My husband Gus is a long haul truck driver and the cops had him on some bogus charge . We gave our case to Mr Christian and he nailed it the first time . When Mr Christian steps in court he makes a good impression on the judge and court wor...kers . He is smart, firm and respectful to everyone . He is a praying man and it showed as he won but not an ounce of arrogance in him . We will use him again. God bless his practice saving my husband and career

Excellent Representation

Mr. Christian was the best decision I could ever made in hiring an attorney, he did everything possible to defend me against the charges against me. I'm forever thankful for him as he made it so that I can continue to do the work that I love.

Bonus pater familias

Bonus pater familias...the good family man....Mr. Gabriel Christian...having retained Mr. Christian in a legal matter he became like a father to my nephew and sister as he proceeded to represent my nephew. He was professional in his dealings with me and my family and he worked tirelessly in getting t...he charges against my nephew dismissed. It was very obvious that his practice is built on a foundation of team work. His receptionist, Alex, ensured that once you enter the office of Gabriel Christian and Associates you feel welcomed whether you walk through the doors for free legal advice or official business. I would like to personally thank you both.

Criminal Case

I was honored to have the law firm of Christian and Associates represent my son. Mr. Gabriel Christian is first and foremost a man of God. He is honest (telling you exactly as it is), compassionate and trustworthy. His Staff is excellent as well, especially Alex, the first person you encounter (wh...ether via phone or in person). Mr. Christian makes you feel right at home while staying professional. He has stayed late in his office to accommodate my schedule. Mr. Christian is excellent beyond words and genuinely cares about his clients, especially the younger generation of young black boys/men. Mr. Christian was able to have the charges dismissed against my son. He is my lawyer for life and I highly recommend to everyone.

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.
