Phil

Chris was a great attorney for me as i went thru an unfortunate and unwanted divorce. He was very technically competent, earned the respect of opposing counsel, and was emotionally supportive of me personally during the worst time of my life. Hire this man if you want compassionate and competent repr...esentation!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2025

updated on 03/16/2026

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
