I was fortunate to work with Christian for several years. He is not only an outstanding attorney, he is an even better person. Christian excels at handling legal matters with not only a keen eye towards the law but also by focusing on the larger issue of what is best for his client's business and long range success. Christian has superstar written all over him. I strongly endorse Christian.
