While he is easy to work with and quickly establishes a caring and open rapport with clients, he will not hesitate to standup to insurance companies or other attorneys to protect his clients and advance their cases."
"I've know Chris since our law school days. He's smart, steady, and has a calming demeanor that heightens his otherwise gifted ability to evaluate a legal claim or issue. He's tenacious when necessary and wise enough to know when to apply the proverbial brakes. He also has a wonderfully dry sense of humor."
