Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Chris is a great appellate attorney. Highly recommended!"
Appeals Attorney | Mar 19
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Chris is the best criminal appellate lawyer I know. If the result matters, you should hire Chris for your criminal appeal. There is literally no one else I would pick for a criminal appeal over Chris. He has a reputation for being the most prepared, and hardest working appeals lawyer who puts a ridiculous amount of effort into each case."
Criminal defense Attorney | Sep 19
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer."
Unknown Attorney | Apr 01
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is the "real deal" in an appeal. He will literally work night and day to get it right for his client. Chris has an in-depth knowledge of the law that allows him to come up with cutting-edge legal arguments when most lawyers would just throw the "same old ____" at the court."
Appeals Attorney | Mar 28
Relationship: Co-worker
"Souza is a first-rate Criminal Defense scholar. He has always been my "go to" guy for trial and appellate issues. He truly cares about his clients and advancing the best advocacy possible for the defense bar."
