About Christopher
Biography
I am originally from Gastonia, NC. Thus, I have lived in the Charlotte area the majority of my life. I thoroughly enjoy the many things this city, and the surrounding suburbs have to offer.
In my sparse spare time, I enjoy competitive sports. My primary interests are basketball and golf personally, though I'm a big football fan. My family is a big part of my life.
My practice is a large part of my life. I started my firm because I'm independent, and I wanted to do things my way. I personally interact with each client on a direct basis. I believe the results of my cases indicate there is a part of me in each file. I work hard at what I do.

Outstanding Attorney
Chris handled a matter for me that was outside what I handle for my legal practice. He was the upmost professional and I would recommend him to anyone for their civil litigation or criminal needs. He will drive results for his clients and is truly passionate about getting the best outcome.
