Chris worked with me very closely. He took the time to explain all the proceeding and the different options available to me. He came out to me on several occassions and would even meet with me on weekends when my work scheduled prohibited me coming by the office during normal office hours.
"Chris has his ear to the ground on new tax laws and the latest potential changes to the code. He has demonstrated a knack for the incredible detail required in this kind of work which is to be commended."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Christopher and I worked together on a case for which I directed one of my clients to him for.
