also known as Chris Nicolaysen
I am happily married to the love of my life, Gretchen, for over 23 years. We have two amazing daughters, Sidney and Megan. Sidney and Megan have both graduated from college and are moving onto the next phase of their lives, adulthood. Gretchen and I will not be alone as our trusty companion, Charlie, will keep us busy with walks and any other attention dogs require.
I enjoy going to concerts with Gretchen. We look forward to celebrating many more years together.
I believe the practice of law should be about finding reasonable, workable solutions to problems. I believe in being proactive instead of reactive in handling cases. Preparation is the key to success in any case.

Chris consulted us regarding a family estate issue. He knows his stuff, gives you the facts (in a way we can understand) but also gave us options. He truly helped us in just a short conversation on the phone!

I came to Chris after a large, well-known firm in downtown Colorado Springs totally messed up. I felt like Chris was honest about how could help me, and always gave me sound advice.
