He strives to ensure each client has a personalized experience to ensure that the stress and uncertainty of the legal process are minimized as much as possible. Whether in court or through collaborative settlement processes, Chris believes that providing clarity and understanding to each client brings a level of relief that aids in the resolution of cases for all clients.
