About Christopher
Biography
Our office represents accident victims, those injured by product defects and the negligence of others. We also help businesses from startups through dissolution with risk management, insurance, contract, construction, real estate and other matters. I work personally with every client to develop a client-centered strategy, and am honored to say that most of our clients are referrals from other clients and attorneys.
My diverse legal background, which includes litigating at a large international law firm, serving as general counsel to several business enterprises, and representing victims and their families in serious personal injury and wrongful death matters, brings a unique and valuable perspective to each engagement. You can find more information about me here:
I look forward to discussing your case and working with you to a successful result. You may call or email to get started.

Big help!
Chris drafted a cease and desist letter for a third party that violated their NDA. Chris might charge a little more but his knowledge and personal service is valuable. Highly recommend.
