Estate planning including wills and living wills plus actual estate settlement

Chris was hired to assist with my father's power of attorney and will plus other end of life directives. After those services were performed my mother passed away and Chris handled her estate work for us. He was always very professional and explained the process in a way that was clearly understandab...le. Chris has surrounded himself with excellent staff. When he was not personally available I was still able to obtain responses to my inquiries in a very timely manner. I have and will continue to refer people to Chris for him to assist them with their legal needs.

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.
