Excellent Attorney, Fantastic Results

I contacted CBS Law under extreme stress and after normal business hours. The CBS Law team was sensitive to my stress and reassured me that I would receive the representation I needed. Christopher was the representation I needed! He is a brilliant attorney who listened to my concerns, understood how ...to address them, and represented me fantastically in court. Christopher's professionalism and expertise resulted in a positive outcome for me and I am so grateful. Not only is Christopher a brilliant attorney, he cares about his clients. He showed up for me when I needed help the most. I highly recommend Christopher and CBS Law to anyone who needs expert, reliable legal representation. You couldn't be in better hands!

Chris is the best! Thank you, Chris!

I had a case in which I had my first offense and I was in a situation where it was unfamiliar territory. I was terrified of what was to happen next, but Chris was reassuring, kind, professional, and always answered any questions I had concerning my case. His confidence and approach really helped to r...eceive a pathway to dismissal. I can’t thank him enough for being amazing - Thank you, Chris!!

A life-changing case

It was sheer luck how Chris became my lawyer. When I was met with the pending doom of deportation, I picked with tears in my eyes, "That guy. He seems nice." And through the magic of Google, I found Christopher Bou Saeed, an oddity of a criminal justice attorney who didn't seem at all jaded by his ca...reer path. He handled my case with ease, despite the 'surprise' immigration implications that drove me insane. He spent hours with me on the phone, patiently breaking down the process and pathways the case could go. It seemed almost too easy for him. Before court, I wondered did I hire the right guy? Does he even care how this would impact my life? Day of court, Chris came prepared with all the force I had previously missed. He was energetic and confident in his presentation of my circumstances to the judge, maintained professional rapport with other counsel and expertly strategic in having a once damning, life-changing charge turned into a dismissal. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chris.

Best Attorney EVER!!!

Mr. Bou Saeed did for me exactly what I had hoped for. An absolute professional and kind person. Very thorough never hesitated to explain things to me in a way I can understand them. I was worried about hiring him because of my financial situation. But I am so glad I did because he is worth every pen...ny. From the beginning, his main concern was to help me. I am so thankful that our paths crossed and I was able to obtain his services when I needed them the most. Thank you Mr. Bou Saeed. I mean this in the best way but, I hope I never need your services again. If I do however I’m glad I found someone I can trust to get the job done!

Brilliant, Bold, and Noble

Filled with anguish, my 85-year old mother and I sat in court overcome with hopelessness and helplessness. The month prior, I plead guilty to a heinous, violent crime that I didn’t commit. Up to that day, I had been defended by the same Public Defender. As we sat in court, instead of my same Publi...c Defender, a dignified man that embodied competence, charisma, and character approached us. With a compassionate smile, he extended his hand introducing himself as Christopher J. Bou Saeed. He stated that he would be representing me. Remarkably and immediately, Christopher’s demeanor assuaged our emotional torment; in fact, giving us a glimpse of hope. In court he was amicable, articulate, and assertive. Christopher navigated the courtroom brilliantly, boldly, and nobly. Obviously, all those in the courtroom – employees, lawyers, and judge alike, admired him. My first Public Defender spoke to me less than ten minutes in four months. After the hearing, I expected Christopher to leave immediately for his next case because of his full, hectic schedule. Instead, he tapped me on the elbow suggesting we speak outside the courtroom. He sat with my mother and me for 30 minutes to talk. Most of the time, he graciously listened to our fears and concerns. Lastly, Christopher handed me his phone number, and has answered every call since on the first ring. It goes without saying; Christopher J. Bou Saeed is the finest criminal attorney I’ve met.
