Timely and professional

Christian handled my lease termination quickly and professionally when my tenant wanted to break the lease.

Posted by Andrew | December 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

I can’t speak highly enough of Christian

I am a brand new business owner and Christian helped me convert my business from a sole proprietorship to an LLC. He handled everything and was incredibly thorough and helpful in explaining what was actually happening. I have very little legal knowledge and he was approachable with questions and conc...erns I had as the process proceeded. His rate is reasonable for new businesses and feel like I couldn’t have asked for better situation. Along with forming the LLC he also created a custom tailored sales agreement for customers to sign before any work is done to protect me from any possible lawsuit on the goods I make. I plan on using him for all my future business law needs.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
