A Life-Changing Lawyer – Compassionate, Fierce, and Truly One of a Kind

Going through a nasty divorce while fighting false assault charges was the hardest time of my life. It was all a tactic for control and to gain access to my children, but Chris saw right through it and fought for me when I felt like I had no fight left. From day one, he treated me with genuine com...passion and respect—not just as a client, but as if I were family. He listened, he guided, and most importantly, he delivered results. Thanks to him, my charges were dismissed, and I finally had peace of mind in a world that felt like pure chaos. Chris isn’t just a lawyer; he’s an advocate, a protector, and a lifeline when you need it most. If you’re looking for someone who will fight for you while offering unwavering support and honesty, look no further. If you don’t choose him, I truly feel sorry for you. This man changed my life for the better, and for that, I will forever be grateful. If I ever find myself in another regrettable situation, there’s no doubt in my mind who I’ll call first. Chris, you are now family to me. Thank you for everything!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Chris about 15 years ago. As Chris says, he cut his teeth in New York, where represented people on every charge from turnstyle jumping to homicide. If I were ever in trouble with the law, I would turn to this outstanding lawyer who goes to bat for his clients, because he really cares. He is one of the most respected criminal defense lawyers in Maryland, is a former President of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, and is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Early in my career, I worked with Chris Flohr on hundreds of criminal cases. I have frequently consulted with him since that time. Chris is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I know. He is experienced, knowledgeable, always prepared and uncompromisingly ethical. He is very imaginative, a quality not seen in many attorneys. He is an extremely agressive advocate who always puts his clients first. If you think of the most zealous defense attorney you have ever read about or seen or TV or at the movies, you will know what Chris Flohr is like."

Relationship: Friend

"Chris Flohr is one of my favorite area lawyers, a friend and confidant. He and I share the view that when a client is in need, colleagues join to put their heads together to figure out how to neutralize and eliminate formidable obstacles and how to persuade powerfully. I have trusted Chris and his law partner Bill multiple times for referrals due to date conflicts, co-defendants, and for brainstorming on cases. Chris has been on the money for brainstorming cases, and numerous times has gone out of his way after hours to do that, sometimes with my clients present. Chris and Bill share my old fashioned view of helping others rise as we rise, including clients and fellow lawyers."
