"Chris is an outstanding advocate for his clients. I was opposing counsel on a highly contested matter and Chris was very aggressive in advocating for his client's position. I admire his commitment to his clients, his professionalism, and his honesty. He is one of the first people I think of when I need to refer a client elsewhere as I know he will take great care of anyone I refer."
