"I endorse Chris Roy and would recommend him to anyone seeking representation on a ERISA or disability insurance matter. Chris is a hardworking attorney, who is thoughtful, diligent, and tenacious. 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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is smart, practical, and cares about his clients."
"Chris has a thoughtful, efficient and thorough advocacy style. His approachable demeanor, knowledge of the law and care with client matters are hallmarks of any good litigator. Also, he looks to resolve a dispute effectively while preserving great working relationships with other attorneys."
