Phone Consultation with Christopher

I reached out to Christopher on an international travel dispute issue which has been an ongoing challenge with my ex. Christopher is well thought, experienced and a very helpful lawyer. He does not beat around the bush and is very upright about his legal advice. He is amicable, gentle and tries to un...derstand his client's concerns before he attempts to give out suggestion. I am very satisfied with Christopher's advice and would highly recommend him to anybody who might be going through a contentious divorce with kids involved. Thanks Christopher and team for all the help. The scheduling was also a cake walk and I got his attention in less than 24 hours.

Knowledgeable and practical

I spoke with Chris regarding my pending divorce. I've been working with another attorney but reached out to Chris to seek guidance on a few specific matters that I wanted a second opinion on. He helped quickly address them, game me some additional perspective and guidance and ultimately shared th...at he felt my current attorney was handling everything as he would expect. I'd highly recommend Chris and his firm based on my experience and will certainly stay connected for future considerations.

High Quality Consultation

I’m currently engaged in a high-conflict child custody matter with jurisdictional problems. There are multiple attorneys involved and a poor consensus on critical issues. A Google search led me to Christopher, and his assistant Ashley was able to squeeze me in the following day for a consultation. Ch...ristopher was expertly able to break down the core facts and provide his opinion on the best pathway forward. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone dealing with a challenging custody matter!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
