This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer

It is unfortunate to need a personal injury or wrongful death lawyer, but Chris did an awesome job representing me and my family. Chris was very helpful and approachable throughout the entire process. He was punctual when returning my calls and made sure I understood what was going on. I don't believ...e I could have found anyone better to sand beside us during our hardship.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
