Excellent estate attorney

Chris has been an excellent counselor for our numerous projects. What my wife and I appreciate most is Chris’s non-condescending manner when explaining complex legal issues. I’ve worked with many attorneys and humble competence is rare. I also have been very impressed with his ingenuity regarding tax... strategies (as they relate to estate planning) and how available and cooperative he is with financial and accounting professionals with whom we work. We have a great “team” and Chris is a critical member/leader.

"I had the pleasure of working with Chris in connection with the purchase and sale of business. Chris's work was excellent and though our clients had a few issues to iron out, Chris was professional and reasonable throughout. With excellent attention to detail and a thorough understanding of transactional law, it is easy to recommend Chris to my clients when we are prohibited due to conflicts."

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.
