Do not hire this guy

This man took advantage of my situation. He destroyed my life and my family. He is not a good person. He is a predator. I wish we would have never met him.

DONT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE POST!

Absolutely dissatified with his counsel and lack of interest in my cases. After paying $3000 he didn't even show up to two of my court dates. I wound up sitting in jail for 3 months before he even came to talk with me. He was of no help to me and I signed a waiver to refuse counsel in front of judge ...to settle case myself. When I told the judge and DA my experience with him they gave me contacts to write the BAR association on him because they said that was wrong of what he has done to me. I've tried numerous attempts to contact him since my last court date in hopes he would give me some type of refund and he has ignored my text and calls. Please don't believe these other post and save your money!

GREAT LAWYER!!!!

Chris is a very knowledgeable lawyer. He went out of his way to help me get papers I needed. He also asked many questions to cover everything I never thought of. I highly recommend him!! Thanks again Chris!

Extended Family Custody Counsel

Chris was a an incredible resource for our family during an emotionally difficult time. My wife and I had obtained custody of a child of an extended family member. Unfortunately the child had emotional issues that were beyond the ability of my wife and I to adequately address having four children o...f our own at home. Chris helped guide us through the difficult transition of finding a home that could adequately address his needs and keep him in a loving and safe environment. Chris provided us with detailed counsel during our dealings with our local hospitals, DHR and the out of state courts that handled the custody arrangements.

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.
