From Prosecutor to Defense Attorney: A Wealth of Experience in Arizona Law
Christian’s legal journey began in the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where he quickly gained a reputation as a skilled litigator and powerful courtroom presence. Handling cases that ranged from traffic violations and DUIs to serious and violent felonies, he became known for his ability to command the attention of juries and negotiate with opposing attorneys.
