COUNDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER ATTORNEY

Chris is hands down the most professional, caring, and articulate lawyer you could ask for. I was looking at 15 years on 5 felonies, ending up get a slap on the wrist. Chris always had my best interest involved knowing me and my family situation. I was truly blessed to have Chris working on my case, ...I do not believe I would have had the outcome I did if anyone else was working on my case.

Awesome and truly honest Attorney!

My husband and I found our entire lives crumbling around us. My husband was falsely accused by a security guard of a crime that would not only land him in jail but it would force him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. On top of the fact that he would be deported once in jail. We ...hired a well experienced with 30+years of experience and he practically wanted to force my husband into taking a deal which wasnt really a deal it was sex registry and jail time. When we found Chris he jumped right in with several strategies that no other attorney even wanted to try. He went above and beyond what we ever imagined an attorney would do studying every bit of testimony and recordings. We went all the way to jury trial and the jury found that the prime witness was a flat out liar and the others to have been mistaken on what they actually saw. We were stunned to hear a "NOT GUILTY" and overjoyed our nightmare was over. The trial seemed to be a high profile case since it got the entire court and DAs offices' attention. He did an amazing job!! We could never thank him enough for helping us out. We were blessed to have found such an honest attorney after so many who only care about $ instead of their clients best interest. We've since referred family and friends to him for traffic tickets and family court matters. Thank you soooo much Chris!!! :;)

Awesome Laywyer - Great negotiating and research skills

Over a year ago, I had received a 5150 that was put on the California DOJ list. The DOJ came to my house asking for my guns and I had referred them to my attorney. They did not like that. They came back with a search warrant and found 19 rounds of ammunition and charged me with a felony. I was looki...ng at three years in jail. I spent two days in county jail in which Christopher arranged for my bail which I got a great rate by the way. He also started researching everything an I spent two days in county jail in which Christopher arranged for my bail which I got a great rate by the way. He also started researching everything. I could clearly see that research was one of his strings. He took a great time, care and effort to get me the best outcome. He gave me great advice. The bottom line is that he created a strategy which allowed me to get the charges dismissed prior to my arraignment. Getting the charges dismissed prior to the arraignment is much easier then afterwards so he was able for one reason or another to have my arraignment postponed several times. It was never about the money for him it was about the best outcome for my case and my freedom. So going from the possibility of doing three years in prison to A complete dismissal is awesome. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Chris for what he is done for me.
