The Right Tool for the Job

Credit problems seem to hound us in one form or another throughout our adult lives. The solutions to those problems are not easily discerned--not even for many attorneys. In my case, I did all I could to try to understand what was happening to my credit. I gathered all my research and took the papers... to a local attorney. The file laid on a shelf in the lawyer's office for a month--she did not know what to do with it. The case would be against one of the nation's top three credit reporting bureaus. By chance, my wife found a site on the internet that told of the work of Christopher Green, a successful consumer protection attorney in far-off Seattle, Washington. We gave Chris a call and before the conversation was over we already had a certain feeling of optimism. I sent Chris my packet of amateur research, and it was not long before he had shuffled the papers, identified those pages with substantive information, and mortared that information together with depositions, a wide range of personal experiences, his expertise in credit law, and with a diligence that did not falter before the case was completed. Chris Green argued the merits of my case professionally and successfully before the court--against renowned corporate lawyers--winning a grand-slam decision. Later he made sure that I was making the decisions as he negotiated a settlement that was beyond expectations.

True Grit!

A major corporation misused my personal and credit information causing an avalanche of serious problems. They refused to make the necessary corrections. After 2 1/2 years of insurmountable problems and frustration, I hired Christopher Green for legal counsel. He was patient and understanding while... listening to my complaints. Chris answered each of my questions in detail. He was thorough while explaining the legal process ahead. During the law suit he kept me updated on the progress of the case. Chris has in-depth knowledge of the law. He is not intimidated by corporate attorneys. He excels in the negotiation process. I was extremely satisfied with the resolution of my case. I highly recommend Attorney Christopher Green!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Green is simply THE "go-to" lawyer in representation of victims of consumer credit abuses. I receive a lot of calls from potential clients who describe abusive conduct by consumer creditors, debt buyers and collection agencies. This is a highly specialized area. If the conduct described is particularly abusive, I refer them to Chris. I have heard back from several people who thanked me for referring them to Mr. Green. I have never heard a negative word spoken about Mr. Green from colleagues or people I have referred to him -- only positive. He is direct, to the point, and can rapidly assess whether the statutes provide a remedy for particular conduct."

"Chris is a well respected national leader in consumer protection law. I have seen him first hand take on some of the largest corporations on behalf of consumers who have been harmed by corporate greed. Chris is one of the few attorneys who has been successful changing corporate policies. Working with Chris has been one of the highlights of my career."
