The best choice I did

He helped me and got a great result for me in spite of very tough and difficult my case. I strongly would like to recommend Chris if someone needs legal support. I greatly appreciated his kind and professional efforts he did for me.

Best choice I could have made!

Chris worked hard for me battling my insurance company. They tried to low ball us and Chris let them know we'd be taking them to court. Because this law firm has a reputation of following through, they knew he wasn't bluffing and came back with a significantly better offer. Many other lawyers would h...ave just settled from the get go and pumped out as many cases as they could. Chris stuck to his guns and it worked out very well for both of us. Would recommend him to anyone!

The real thing

Back in 90's I've had a rally flashy Imigration Beverly Hills layer, who left me hanging after he extorted so much money from my family. When I met Christopher, as soon as he started working on my husband case, he seemed too good to be truth. In a record time my husband got Work authorization perm...it and his Green Card is on it's way. Not only that he was so professional and capable, he has also offered to help my husband to find a job..... His compassion, honesty and diligence brought back a faith in a judicial system, democracy and ultimately in this country.

An Exceptional Attorney

Christopher Anderson is an exceptional attorney. His defense work was thorough, well researched and prepared. He was committed to my cause, took the time to explain my options and went the extra mile to get me the best possible outcome which was due entirely to his efforts on my behalf. I would hi...ghly recommend him for any legal matter, criminal or civil.

"I worked with Chris for many years at the King County Prosecutor's Office. Chris was one of those rare prosecutors who had an excellent reputation not just with his follow prosecutors but with defense attorneys and judges as well. I regulary sought Chris' advice on cases and continue to do so now His courtroom experience combined with his intelligence, solid judgment, and work eithic make him an outstanding attorney and advocate. As an attorney I am very careful when I refer prospective clients to another attorney. In many ways, my reputation follows every referral I give.
