Christopher Emanuel James's Lawyer Endorsements
"Christopher is very knowledgeable in the area of taxation. His advice has proven valuable in assisting several of my own clients who are dealing with income tax collection issues. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone seeking counsel regarding tax collection or other complex tax-related matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. This guy can handle complex 501(C)3 applications and hold the IRS to the law, not their opinion of the law."
"I went to law school with Chris. He is a great guy, and a brilliant attorney."
