Afghanistan JAG.

Chris Mora during our deployment was the most genuinly proactive, engaged professional supporting the cause. We have had multitudes of concerns that Chris immediately tended too and resolved in a mutualy beneficial resolution for all parties concernd. Most could only be so fortunate as to emula...te Chris's way of doing business. Thank you Chris for all those long nights meeting deadlines and hard work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
