Relationship: Worked together on matter
I highly endorse this lawyer. I have known Christopher Rumbold since law school. Together we began our careers at the WPB Public Defender's Office, litigating numerous cases together. Since, we have consulted on several cases throughout the years. As I have worked closely with him, I can confidently say that he tirelessly advocates and protects his clients' rights. He is extremely knowledgeable with regard to the law and he cares about his clients. Anyone needing a family lawyer would be well served to contact him.

I am known Christopher since we were law students at the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. From law school to his work as a respected and learned attorney, I have witnessed his consistent intelligent, analytic, and empathetic personality. I would recommend Christopher to any person seeking quality representation in a marital and family law matter.
