30+ Years of Trusted Representation

I’ve had the privilege of being represented by Mr. Christian on multiple occasions over the past 30+ years, and I can honestly say he has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, he treated me with respect, patience, and genuine care, guiding me through difficult personal legal mat...ters with professionalism and integrity. Every time I needed him, he was prepared, knowledgeable, and confident in court. He explained everything clearly, kept me informed, and always fought hard to protect my interests. Knowing I had someone with his experience and dedication on my side gave me tremendous peace of mind during stressful situations. If you are looking for a lawyer who is trustworthy, experienced, and truly committed to his clients, I highly recommend Mr. Christian. After more than three decades of dependable representation, I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Reliable!

Attorney Gabriel is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. He guided our family through a difficult domestic case with clarity and compassion. He was always prepared, on time, and went above and beyond by offering genuine support and prayer for our family. His combination of legal expert...ise, integrity, and faith truly sets him apart. Highly recommended.

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.

One of the best lawyers in the DMV

Been knowing Mr. Christian for over 21 years. We have never lost a case One of the best lawyers in the DMV.

One of a kind defense attorney

First off me, and my family experienced a tragic incident with our son, resulting in surgeries and hospitalization. Which then led to legal matters. Second, I’ve been falsely accused, but with a great help and teamwork from Gabriel Christian and his associates. They were able to turn this case aroun...d & become victorious, so I will not have to face no jail time away from my family, which is the ultimate win. Lastly, our family is doing well. Our son is thriving the case is coming to a close. I am off probation, and I give all the glory to God and my lawyer and his team for everything that has transpired. If you or your family member are in any trouble with the courts, I highly recommend you contact Gabriel Christian, & his associates located in Bowie Maryland. They’ve done fine work and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I currently and also had family members using his expertise for criminal defense and automotive accident cases. If you need help with anything, Gabriel Christian is the one to contact! God bless!

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.
