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.

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 he...lped 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!

Fantastic attorney

Getting charged with a DUI was one of the most terrifying moments of my life but Kris' extensive knowledge of the law put me at ease and wound up getting me out of trouble. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.
