Super Lawyer

I called around to several attorneys who all seemed to give me the run around about my citations and license suspension. Chris told me what the problem was and how to fix it. He charged me a fair fee and had my license reinstated in two days! I've been waiting six months. Thanks, Chris

A1 Professional and a true lifesaver!

This guy is great. I Hired him for a speeding ticket and as soon as i met with him & he agreed to represent me, I knew i could relax and he'd handle the rest. I would recommend him to ANYONE. He knows the law and is very professional . He brought me peace of mind, knowing he was my lawyer and was r...epresenting me! Got my charges & fines reduced! This lawyer is by far better than others I've dealt with and I will without a doubt use him again if anything else comes up! Really was a lifesaver!

Honest Attorney

If I had stayed with the attorney I hired before Chris; I would have had to settle for less. Chris stood up for me, and what was right. He was not intimidated by the other attorney and KNOWS the law. Chris was very upfront and honest. He is quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Shannon, his... paralegal, and him make a great team. I would recommend Chris' firm to ANYONE looking for a SUPERB, KICK BUTT, attorney!! Thank you Chris! YOU ROCK!!

Horrible experience

This guy was horrible. Spaced out needless court appearances in order to squeeze a paying client. No surprise he was disciplined for defrauding taxpayers and billing indigent defense for time he never spent on clients who had no other representation.

Review

Wish I had know he was under investigation when I hired him for representation. It's been 4 years and I still get upset when I think about what he and his office put me through.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is tough as nails, without a doubt. He works hard for his clients and makes me earn every dollar when we're on opposite sides. Yet, when I see his name on a case as opposing counsel, I know that I'll be working with a straight-shooter."
