Well reccomended lawyer!

Chris advised my company on an international transaction involving complex environmental issues in the United States; because of his quick turn around, attention to detail, and understanding of our sensitivies, we were able to understand our risks, deal with them, and close the transaction.

Outstanding trial lawyer

Chris represented me on a pro bono matter. He effectively cross examined the witnesses against me, and I ended up winning the case!

brilliant lawyer

I am a military member who Chris assisted in a case involving a default judgment against me (pro bono). He had it vacated, scheduled a trial, completed discovery, and set a trial date within 4 months to correspond with a leave period I had. At trial, he exposed the other side's witness for the liar h...e was, and I ended up with a judgment in my favor!
