So thankful!

Christian was the most reliable, kind and understanding professional. I had a nightmare situation/accusation with multiple court dates turn into a fair say. I’m a type A personality with tons of questions and he was incredibly patient with me. Justice and truth prevailed in my case and I’m so thankfu...l. My concerns and questions were addressed and never dismissed.

Excellent Representation

Christian has years of experience within the Colorado Springs judicial system as a prosecutor. He understands the law, and knows how to protect his client and their rights. If you hire a lawyer, you’ll want to be represented by the best. So, if you’re considering representation I recommend discussing... your position with Christian.

Phenomenal

I was presented with a number of charges and allegations that I knew was not factual. Christian took the time to hear my side and at first was a little hesitant due to the drama that was talking place with it but after some consideration he agreed to help me out. He got what I feel was the best possi...ble scenario for me. He was very considerate and always answered my questions when ever I had them. He took a vacation during the time we was waiting for court and still answered my calls and was able to settle a deal while out of town. Top notch in my opinion and I would recommend him to anyone that would ask for my opinion.

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.
