Meredith Smith, Litigation Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Chris is a great attorney not only for his vast experience and knowledge of the law, but for his compassion for his clients, willingness to mentor, and relentlessly upbeat personality. I cannot recommend Chris enough.
Matthew Bouchard, Construction and development Attorney

Chris and I are Holland & Knight alums. He delivers high-quality, big-firm legal services with a small-firm personal touch. I always enjoy co-counseling with Chris whenever the opportunity arises.
