The Best of the Best

When our family was at one of our lowest moments, Christopher Billings stepped in and gave us hope. My fiancé was arrested for a violation of probation on July 1st, and because of the court backlog, we were given a date in late August. That delay felt crushing with so much at stake. Thankfully, Chris...topher and the Pearlman Trial Group worked to have the court date moved up to July 18th, which gave us a renewed sense of possibility. Christopher represented my fiancé in court while Lee Pearlman was out of the country, and his professionalism, presence, and compassion were truly remarkable. He stood by my fiancé’s side, respected his wishes, and clearly explained the situation to the judge. He advocated for him with confidence and sincerity. Thanks to his hard work and the support of the entire team, the judge reinstated my fiancé’s probation and he was released that day. While we are still waiting for approval through a motion to travel so he can attend his daughter’s wedding in Ireland, I fully believe Christopher and the team will do everything they can to make that happen. The way he handled the hearing gave us peace in a very difficult time, and we are incredibly grateful. I would recommend Christopher to anyone in need of a strong, compassionate, and dedicated advocate in court.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
