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.

I recently consulted with Christopher to represent me in a hit and run case, which I was very worried about appearing on my record. Not only did he represent me in court without my appearance but had the case dismissed! I am truly greatful for his expertise and highly recommend his work!
