Great Service

Chris helped me with a non-compete situation and did an excellent job managing the case. Chris was able to guide me through the process and provide valuable straightforward advice along the way. I would recommend Chris to anyone that needs someone with strong experience relative to employment law.

Excellent Attorney

We have worked with Chris on several legal issues most recently being labor related. He is very diligent and has an uncanny ability to keep the big picture in mind in the resolution of his cases. It takes an excellent communicator and legal strategist to keep a case moving along, unequivocally pr...oving the points that need to be proven in the face of blatant manipulation of the facts of the case by opposing counsel. He is a true professional.

CFO-Co-Owner

Chris and his team work very well with busy business owners and communicate extremely well compared to most professional services we have used in past. I highly recommend their firm for expertise and professional quality service.

Litigation lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Chris is a very talented trial lawyer and serves as an excellent business adviser. Chris works with a variety of clients from large corporations to sole proprietors. He is well versed in the rules of procedure and has extensive courtroom and jury trial experience. In turn, he uses those courtroom experiences to write solid contracts and business plans for his clients. He does a great job representing his clients and I have personally referred several clients to Chris. I highly endorse this lawyer!"

Employment and labor lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Chris represented the potential defendant in a recent wage/hour claim for which I represented the claimant. I found him to be a lawyer who stood firmly for his clients' interests, but who did so professionally and without animosity. Chris always presented himself as someone who was fully informed of his clients' side of the case, both legally and factually. I would feel completely comfortable referring a client to Chris in the future if I were unavailable or unable to represent the client."

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.
