Best DUI Lawyer

I had a recent DUI and they were asking for 30 days jail. I hired Kris and they dismissed the charge at the next court appearance. Kris also helped my friend a year ago with her DUI. He's very easy to talk to and honest about the process. Couldn't recommend him enough

Best Attorney!

I was arrested over the summer on a DUI and I was devastated. I called Kris and he walked me through everything really patiently and professionally. Kris gave me the best and worst case scenario and was very honest about the situation. He got the charge reduced to a speeding ticket with no jail or license suspension and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend him.

The Best in Vancouver

I got a DUI in September 2019 and I called Kris and he guided me through the entire process from best to worst case scenario. He was very patient and professional. Kris ended up settling my case two months later for a deal that was much better than I expected. I almost feel bad taking it. I highly recommend him.

The Best!

I was facing a DUI after causing a car accident and I was told by other lawyers that it would be impossible to escape the DUI charge. Kris was straight forward with me and had a plan from the beginning to get me the best shot at a plea bargain. He ended up negotiating a reduced charge with no jail and no DUI on my record! He is amazing.

Kris was the talented, dependable lawyer I needed.

I needed a lawyer after I made a mistake that resulted in a legal case. I was scared, angry at myself and completely unaware of how these things worked. Kris was calm, professional, knowledgeable and succinct. I realized after the first time I talked to him that he knew how to navigate the system and wasn't willing to take no for an answer. Because of his very determined efforts, I ended up being allowed to do Diversion. I just celebrated the successful completion of that journey, without any convictions on either charge. Kris understood that I needed help. He listens well, responds to correspondence effectively and made an impact on my life that I will never forget. Trust Kris to tell you the honest situation and be able to talk about the possibilities of where things could go.

Call Kris for help

The allegations made against my son we're dismissed because of Kris. A neighbor alleged that my son was harassing and stalking her son. Also, that he was damaging their property. After meeting with Kris he went to court and the allegations and request for a restraining order were dismissed. Kris handled the entire situation with confidence. He was quick in responding to our questions and always got back to us in a very timely manner. Kris is a professional who put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.

Amazing, Efficient, Superb - Simply the BEST

Kris, was our savior.. we had been currently dealing with DUI charges when we had a DV incident, things were blown out of proportion and Kris helped us get through the most difficult time in our life. He was always available by phone, email and even text. He was very easy to work with, relaxed and helped us to relax. He was also very knowledgeable about the law, and understanding to our situation. He worked with the prosecution to get us the best deal absolutely possible. When we called on him again to help with another situation (not DV related) Kris was immediately able to help and had a court approval completed within 24 hours of our request! We honestly cannot say enough good things about him. Kris is definitely our go-to attorney for anything life will throw our way!
