Skilled, knowledgeable, and smart

I spoke with Chris during two phone consultations regarding my employment issues and questions. Each time, he spoke with me for 45+ minutes and gave me detailed advice upon which I could act. He was kind, knowledgeable, and honest about my options. He listened carefully and with compassion. I apprec...iated his honest and frank way of communicating with me — a direct approach that did not “sugar-coat” my situation. Chris presented me with rational choices I could make for handling my situation. My two phone consults with him were free of charge — almost unheard of in his business. In my particular situation, he was unable to take my case. Chris, however, would rather give a free consult while earning your trust than charge a fee for telling you he cannot help. That demonstrates strong integrity and honor on his behalf. Although my two consults totaled only 1.5 hours, he impressed me enough to know I would want to turn to him should I ever need help in the future. I strongly recommend Chris as an intelligent counselor to address your needs. I cannot imagine getting superior advice from anyone else.

Excellent Lawyer with a great knowledge base.

I spoke with Christopher about a legal matter. He was both empathetic and extremely professional. I was offered some great advice and impressed with his vast knowledge base. I will be recommending Christopher to my friends. He understands the law and his clients.

Had a phone consultation with Chris about an employment, HR matter. Chris was kind enough to give over 30 minutes of his time gathering details and explaining what my next steps should be all at no cost. He did not pressure to do more than what was needed at the time saving me unnecessary expenses. ... Definitely recommend him, he treats his clients fairly and honestly!!!

Quick and Thorough Insight

I reached out to the law firm Chris work's at for a consultation on an employment matter. Chris responded quickly, he was kind, and though I didn't hear what I wanted to hear, he was very supportive, positive, and encouraging. He delivered excellent service to me and I appreciated his engagement. ...Thank you Chris!
