DWI CASE

Being a minor with a DWI case Chris did all he could to help me minimize my penalties and guided me through the process. He showed me all my options and was upfront, honest and very polite with everything. He also made sure I was comfortable with the decisions we made together about how we wanted to ...proceed further with my case. I'm thankful and I would definitely recommend Chris!

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.
