Highly professional and experienced workers compensation attorney

horrible experience

My husband has had to use Chris twice the first time was really hard on us because of miscommunication! However, we tried a different lawyer in the area and had a worse experience! So we returned to Chris and he has been better at communicating with us! He has also been fast at getting my husband's c...ase moving smooth!

Work Comp Issue? This is who you want!

I was hurt on the job. Was covered by work comp then it was taken away. Chris got it back for me. I had a complicated case and Chris stuck with me through the whole process.He is bull dog tough when dealing with insurance adjusters and opposing attorneys. But, was also available to listen to my conce...rns When we settled my case he stood tough until the offer was fair for me. If you have been hurt on the job call him. He will help.I could not have survived without him!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Chris was my mentor when I was a brand new work comp attorney. He has incredible knowledge of the complex laws and procedural rules of comp. With his clients, he is accessible, empathetic, and patient. He is well respected by both sides of the bar and the bench, and as such is able to resolve many issues without the injured worker having to go through litigation. When he does go to court, he is always prepared, persuasive and does an excellent job advocating for his clients."

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.
