Highest Recommendation Possible

Chris has been my attorney for over 12 yrs now, representing me in custody matters concerning my daughter. He has all the qualities a client would look for in their attorney. First, his communication style both with clients and in court is clear, calm, and genuinely empathetic. Chris is able to come ...up with rational solutions and present them to all parties involved in a very palatable way. He is also highly analytical and detail oriented, able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle to problem solve complicated cases with lots of data/documents. Chris has never missed a beat in getting me and my daughter the best possible outcomes, while always being direct and honest with me about potential outcomes. Last but not least, Chris appears to be highly respected within his own community both among other attorneys and judges/commissioners. It should also be noted that Chris has an exceptional assistant. Tracie is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and empathetic. Together, they make a truly indispensable team that I cannot recommend highly enough!

Family lawyer | Mar 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"Chris is a fantastic attorney, and a fantastic person. He is thoughtful and measured. He takes time to not only understand the facts of the case, but to also analyze and understand the underlying stories and feelings that often lead not only to development of the best legal strategies, but also help the parties come to appropriate resolutions. There are no winners in a family law case, but Chris' approach is geared toward providing families with the best solutions possible to set them up for future success. I'm honored to not only to endorse him but work with him."

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.
