About Christopher
Biography
A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, I graduated from Eckerd College and Stetson University College of Law. After working for a large Tampa Bay injury firm, I now practice in a boutique trial firm as I continue to represent injured people, with a focus on litigation. I handle negligence cases from the beginning, though I often take over from other attorneys during the litigation process for cases that may end up in trial. I am married with 3 wonderful step-children. Most of my family still lives in Pinellas County and I try to focus on helping those in Pinellas and the surrounding counties.

Not easy money. Not my problem.
Mr. Reynolds quotes in his email message, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet, when I consulted once with him over the phone, he admitted an injustice ocurred, but he did not offer to help fight against the injustice in his given profession.

Best decision I could’ve made
After having real bad experiences with previous attorneys who neither cared for their clients on any human level other than their wallet, I got frustrated and asked my chiropractor if he knew of a good attorney with real morals and values. Without skipping a beat my chiropractor immediately gave ...

Excellent attorney. Very pleased client
Chris was referred to me by another attorney whom I trust. He came to my home to speak with me since I wasn't in the shape to come to him. He is very professional and he made himself available to answer my question in a timely manner. He kept in touch with me about my case and made sure my medical ne...
