Christopher A Matheson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I recently worked with Chris on a high-stakes case that he entered late in the game. He quickly got up to speed, had great ideas for moving the ball forward, and was instrumental in a successful outcome. I look forward to the chance to work with him again and would highly recommend him for any litigation issue."
