Results every time

This was my second time hiring Mr. Christian, and my second time receiving a favorable judgement. Mr. Christian, Mrs. Brooks, and their entire staff are experts in the field of law, both criminal and traffic. The staff is very busy owing to their high level of talent, but communication is always open.... Trust the process, and you will get the results you’re looking for.

Mr. Christian Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Christian won my case. Had I lost I could have lost my status in the United States. Today July 30 2021 I am very happy. My stress level has gone down 100%. I recommend Mr. Christian to anyone in trouble with the law. He know the law, is courageous and fights for you till the end. Most importantly... he is a man of faith. He prays with you and God has shown him favor. I thank his office staff which is outstanding. Mrs Brooks, Mr Usman and the office are competent and pleasant. They all work as a team and when you walk into that office they greet you with a smile and the utmost courtesy. May God richly them abundantly.

Observing Mr. Gabriel Christian in and out of court; you get a clear sense that not only does he understand law and how to use the law. He's smart, focused, very motivated to aid,mount a strong defense and do right by his client. Very creative addressing challenges faced by ordinary citizen who f...ind themselves in legal jeopardy. I absolutely love how he looks for a way out. Especially when a way out is not easily seen. The man is clearly driven by love for his fellow man especially those who've been historically disadvantaged in the past. And his undying faith in the most high. A true professional. Thank you Mr. Gabriel.

Posted by Derrick | July 23, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Mr. Christian is the lawyer for me.

Mr. Christian has represented or advised me in legal matters for 20 years. In 2001, he clearly presented my case in a divorce that involved custody and property. While I understood my responsibilities, he made sure that my rights were not violated. He is very knowledgeable of the law, and will tell... you the truth even if it’s not in your best interest.

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.
