Posted by anonymous | February 08, 2011 | Wrongful Termination

Client Review

Chris represented my company in 2 successive jury trials spanning 3-1/2 years. The issues were complex - wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, stock redemption, etc. Chris and his litigation partner very quickly absorbed the voluminous issues in the complaints and focuse...d in on the facts that would ultimately allow us to prevail on all claims. When taking depositions or cross examining an opponent, Chris is a relentless bulldog. I was very happy that Chris was representing us and not our opposition. He is a formidable opponent with sharply honed litigation skills.
