Horrible Arbitrator

Mr. Christopherson is the poster boy for what is wrong with arbitration. His decisions were not based on the facts or law. His responsiveness to requests by the Parties was completely unacceptable. It took months just to receive a decision. To keep a long story short, if you are in need of an Arbitra...tor, look elsewhere.

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.
