Christian did a really nice job helping me through my divorce process. He was a great listener and helped me reach a fair deal. Unlike horror stories I have heard from friend's about their lawyers in the divorce process, Christian was very cost conscious and did his best to resolve my case without charging me "an arm and a leg".

I consulted Christian on a brief time-schedule, with a legal matter I needed representation for. I felt so much better after just talking with Christian for a phone consultation, that I knew I had to go with him! Upon hiring Christian, he assured me I was going to be in good hands. He was undoubtedly right. Christian went above and beyond for me throughout my entire case, ensuring I’d have the best possible outcome. To say I’m grateful or pleased with Christian’s intelligence of the Law and his unstopping drive for his clients, would be a complete understatement! I will be recommending him to anyone I know with any law- and real estate needs! (-:

I texted Christian for a consult and he returned my call within a hour, I told him about my case and he gave me options on where he thought he could go with my case and I agreed. As soon as I signed my contract and gave payment Christian worked on my case right away and got it resolved without having to go to court and also go exactly the results I wanted. He’s very good at communicating and is amazingly nice and is very good at his job. I’m very thankful for the help Christian has provided me with!

Christian really helped my family through an unknown legal process. He was very helpful in answering questions to ensure we understood the process and really took the anxiety out of the legal process. I would definitely use his services again in the future and highly recommend him. He was extremely helpful and responsive.

Christian helped me through a very difficult time with patience and perseverance. I have a daughter who works in the justice system as well, and he was always patient with answering her questions. He guided me in the right direction all while listening to my concerns and often talking me off a ledge. I would highly recommend Christian for any legal issues that you are having! He is knowledgeable, kind, and very funny! He put me at ease right away when I met him. He was also very responsive via text, phone, or email. I gave him 5 stars out of 5 because he's great!

He made himself available whenever I had questions and needed to talk about my case. All of my charges were either dropped or greatly reduced. I am very happy with the outcome. I would definitely hire him again!

I hired Christian upon finding myself in need of a criminal defense attorney. Now, with my case resolved, I can honestly say that you would be hard-pressed to find better legal representation. I was facing two assault charges while already on probation, so it goes without saying that I was in quite the bind. From start-to-finish, Christian demonstrated nothing but the highest levels of professionalism, legal knowledge, and overall competence. Equally, you could not ask for a more personable and congenial lawyer by your side, especially in such a difficult time. We had several court appearances spanning across several months, throughout the duration of which Christian always took the time to address any questions/concerns I may have. When everything was said and done, Christian pulled-off what I call an absolute miracle: he got my assault charges dismissed, ensured I serve no jail-time, and made sure that this entire ordeal would not violate my probation. Ultimately, he saved my future, as serving jail-time and/or time on house arrest would have gotten me fired from my job and/or expelled from my university. If I could give more than "5-Stars" I surely would, because it would be the understatement of the decade to say that he is the one of the top defense attorneys out here.
