An honest man with integrity

I have worked with Mr. Christian for over 20 years. He has always been the best. He's been a good lawyer and friend for most of my life. He will always tell you what the best course of action will be and will go above and beyond. A lawyer that feels more like a helpful friend that wants the best for ...you. He's involved in many community and philanthropic endeavors as well. He spreads himself too thin at times because of how hard he works. A blessing to the community and everyone he serves.

Traffic and Criminal

Mr. Gabriel from the 1st day that we met was humbling and great. Extremely grateful for the no conviction and dismissal of all my cases. He worked his magic with the state and local officer. Forever grateful to him for a quick process from start to finish!

BEST DEFENSE

Mr. Christian and his excellent team of professionals have been guiding our family through a very traumatic criminal defense, and he embraced my son, not as just his client but as a member of his family. This roller coaster ride over the last 10 months has been made smooth by the confidence that I h...ave in the brilliance of Mr. Christian’s defense of my son. I recommend this firm to anyone that has a legal need of any kind.

Amazing Law Office

Mr. Gabriel, Dr. Usuleman, Ms Brooks all did an amazing job at the law office. I felt in good hands with such a hardworking team. My attorney Mr. Christian was able to get me an unsecured bond.

Outstanding Representation

I reached out to Mr. Christian after my son was unexpectedly detained in New York due to a failure to appear in court for a case in Maryland—a case for which he had never received notification. From the very beginning, Mr. Christian demonstrated exceptional professionalism and compassion. He took the... time to meet with us, clearly explain the legal process, and answer all of our questions, which helped ease our concerns during a very stressful time. The entire team treated us with the utmost respect and was incredibly responsive throughout the process. Thanks to their diligent efforts, they secured my son's release, had a new trial date set, and thoroughly prepared us for the upcoming trial. What truly amazed me, however, was discovering on the day of the trial that Mr. Christian had been working tirelessly behind the scenes, leveraging his strong professional network, to have the case dismissed entirely. This was the best possible outcome we could have hoped for, and we were overjoyed by the result. We continued working with him afterward to have the case expunged, ensuring my son's record remained clean. Mr. Christian and his team went above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and a life-changing outcome for our family.

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.
