A master of his craft! Suberb attorney...

I hired Chris to represent me during my divorce. We ended up going to trial. He did a great job! Chris is a trustworthy man and great attorney. He will represent me in my future custody battles. Main reason why I chose Chris is the fact that he is younger. He doesn’t lack any experience, AT ALL!... Do you really want someone to represent you, who learned law in 70’s??? Lots has changed since then! I never once doubted that he had my best interest. I recommend him without reservation!

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
