Lisa

Christopher did a wonderful job helping me navigate a very emotional and scary custody battle with my ex-husband as it involved the well-being of my two boys. He made sure i understood all the different sides of the positions i could take throughout the case so I could weigh them and make the right ...decision for my boys. It was an emotional and exhausting process but Chris was very responsive and remained calm at all times. I know he always had my and my children's best interests front and center. When being tough with the other side was warranted - he was. When he could see middle ground was the way to go - he was able to help me see that as well. Ultimately, we settled and I am very happy with the legal guidance provided by Chris.

Christopher was very helpful in explaining all the details that comes with the process of a divorce that could be a such challenging process. He was always patient and available to do so every step of the way. He made sure that I understood all my options before I made a decision. I would recommend h...im for anyone who is in need of his expertise.

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.
