Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves. Another thing I truly appreciate & admire was his willingness to answer questions and address concerns that my family has had throughout this situation. His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest. The meeting only lasted 20 minutes. I just got the impression that I would get a very weak defense, and that "I was done". I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning. Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable.

I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning. Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves. Another thing I truly appreciate & admire was his willingness to answer questions and address concerns that my family has had throughout this situation. His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest.

In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves. Another thing I truly appreciate & admire was his willingness to answer questions and address concerns that my family has had throughout this situation. His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest. The meeting only lasted 20 minutes. I just got the impression that I would get a very weak defense, and that "I was done". I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning. Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves. Another thing I truly appreciate & admire was his willingness to answer questions and address concerns that my family has had throughout this situation. His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest. The meeting only lasted 20 minutes. I just got the impression that I would get a very weak defense, and that "I was done". I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning.

His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest. The meeting only lasted 20 minutes. I just got the impression that I would get a very weak defense, and that "I was done". I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning. Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves.

I faced up to year in jail. Christopher was the best. He answered all my questions, gave us a great strategy, and my case was dismissed. I am so thankful for our amazing resolution. Christopher was always positive and thorough. If I needed an answer all I had to do was ask.

At 19.5 years in the Air Force I failed a random drug test for a an active prescription in my medical records. Facing discharge and losing the benefits of almost 20 years of service I hired Chris. While this process was going Chris took the time and invested energy in the case, and made me feel like I was the #1 priority. He took the time to meet with my best friend who is also an attorney, but not in military law. It's a rare thing to see such team work in a world of mistrust. As I stood there tall in front of the commander and plead not guilty it was reassuring knowing that Chris was in my corner. When it came time for him to plead my case, he left no doubt about my innocence in the matter at hand. He provided more evidence as to why I was not guilty than the government had given the commander for action. He provided toxicology reports from the Air Force drug testing lab, how the substance in breaks down, and why it would show positive for what I did. His actions and defense shed light on the incompetence of the military readiness officer who was derelict in his duties by putting personal opinion ahead of science. In the end, because of what Chris did I'm retiring with my full benefits. Chris saved my retirement. If you have a doubt, don't. Chris is the right man for the job and is worth double what he charges. I'd recommend him 1,000 times over.

Best attorney hands down. Astounding acumen and experience. I recommended him to someone who needed the jaws of life to resuscitate his career. We were deployed and Christopher worked tirelessly with us on every fine detail. The NCO was facing an Article 15 which would have ended his career had he received it. When it was time for the 2nd reading, and asked if he had any additional matters to submit, the NCO submitted the thorough 'dissertation' written with Mr. Cazares legal expertise and Faces cracked and dropped to the floor. His rebuttal obliterated the article 15 and disintegrated the command's ability to issue it. It was retracted and a counseling to be filed locally was issued instead. Mr. Cazares came in like a superhero from the justice league and helped someone live another day in their career so they could continue to support their family.

I hired Christopher to fight six drug charges. The outlook was bleak from the beginning, but we fought. By the end of court, the government withdrew all of their charges and I walked out a free man. Christopher was by far the best attorney in court and I do not want to think what would have happened if I would have stuck with government counsel. Even more, I hired a person that I could trust. Everything he said would happen, happened and he never over promised and under delivered. He is a great attorney and great man.

Christopher Cazares professionalism and dedication to my case has helped keep my spirits high during this terrible time in my life. Prior to hiring Chris I was in the dark and was unsure of my assigned lawyer’s ability to remember my name. Immediately after contacting Chris, he volunteered to fly to my location in order to begin working immedietly as my defense lawyer. He brought me to a better place during this terrible time. Countless hours were spent interviewing, investigating, and speaking with me at all times of the day. Chris always answered my calls late at night, or even on weekends which helped calm my nerves. Another thing I truly appreciate & admire was his willingness to answer questions and address concerns that my family has had throughout this situation. His step by step explanation of the process has helped put my family and friends at ease. His extensive knowledge of the UCMJ process was evident especially during my pre-trial case. He is a bad ass lawyer but importantly; I also gained a friend during this time! Don’t hesitate; hire Chris if you need a good military defense lawyer!

Christopher Cazares saved my military career. I found out on a Thursday last October that my commander was initiating a demotion action reducing me to the grade of SSgt based off an incident in which there was an alleged significant loss of funds to the unit. I was stunned because I had corresponded and got the approval of a Budget Analyst who had a position above me in in taking the actions that I took. There had been a huge miscommunication between me and her which had resulted in the alleged loss. The memo that was being used as the supporting document by my commander was written by this same budget analyst who was concealing her true role in the incident. I had a meeting with the Area Defense Council the morning after before being notified of the demotion. The night before I had written out a bunch of points that I wanted to discuss the the ADC. I was disheartened to find out when I went to my appointment that I wasn't able to meet with the actual ADC, and the paralegal that I was able to talk to seemed to be entertaining the points I was making with a feigned interest. The meeting only lasted 20 minutes. I just got the impression that I would get a very weak defense, and that "I was done". I talked to my father that Friday night resigned to the fact that I would have little chance of winning the case. My father told me that I would forever regret "what might have been" if I didn't seek the services of civilian counsel to defend me. He had done some research and got in touch with a sharp lawyer named Mike Coco. I wrote my rebuttal that Saturday and sent it to Mike. I found out Sunday afternoon that Mike had to end up recusing himself from the case. I asked him if he could recommend my case to anyone, which is how I got in touch with Chris that Sunday night. When I talked to Chris I was immediately impressed with the sharp legal insight he brought to the facts to my case. We talked for about 30-40 minutes over the phone that night, at the end of the conversation he told me to send him all the documents pertaining to the case so that he could review that night. He also told me to get a good nights rest and that he would be in touch with me that morning. I was able to sleep well that night because I felt that in a short conversation over the phone he was able to drill down the essential facts which would lead to a sharp defense. We corresponded several times over the phone in the next couple of days. My temperament was changed from the week before to one of great hope that I would win my case. It was very apparent that Chris not only had great skill but that he took a deep interest and cared about the case . What I was especially impressed with the fact that by reviewing the documentation that he was able to discern truths about relationships that I had with the parties involved and fundamental supervisory communication deficiencies that existed in my unit. I didn't feel like I had to constantly call him and tell him my side of the case, he was able to discern things on his own. It gave me a great since of solace to know that I was in good hands and that I could let him concentrate on making a great defense while I could concentrate on keeping myself together at work. I also knew that my case was getting the attention it deserved. . When I got the final rebuttal back from Chris on Wednesday I was very happy with it. When I sent it to my father he responded "Wow, Wow, Wow!". The case ended up lingering on for a little over a month, but we ended up winning. Chris I know sensed how stressed and hurt I was by the implications of the demotion. Throughout that month he went out of his way to reach out to me as a friend and not just my lawyer. When you are going through a legal proceeding you have no idea how much strength you get from knowing your lawyer cares about you. I will always be grateful and know that I would have lost if I hadn't had the great fortune of contacting him that Sunday night.

There are no words that I feel can accurately frame Christopher. His determination and dedication to my case could only be rivaled by his compassion and empathy for me. In the weeks leading up to trial we were in constant communication, keeping me totally updated on everything. However, months thereafter he was still in contact. Always the consummate professional, yet during the most difficult moments of my life; Christopher Cazares was much more than my advocate. He was my friend.

He prepared me to be a lawyer in my own case. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. The outcome of my case might have been different without Chris. He gave me the confidance I needed to make it through the trial. Will use again.

Without Chris I would have made horrible decisions related to my situation. His expert advice, willingness to work around my timeline, and understanding of how the situation should proceed was invaluable. I would recommend him to anyone that finds them-self in a difficult situation with the military. He is an expert in his field and his advice saved my career.

Christopher Cazares is the best military lawyer I could have hired. I was facing a drug court-martial as part of a “drug ring.” I watched Christopher outperform every lawyer in the room, including the senior prosecutor. His confidence and experience were levels above what I could have hoped for. After several days in court, my case was ultimately dismissed and I have resumed my career as if this investigation and court-martial never happened. I had both Christopher and a military appointed lawyer and the difference in experience was night and day. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I only had a military attorney. Several of the people in the ring went with just military attorneys and they either plead guilty or were found guilty. Christopher gave me confidence in my case and would always check up on me during this long process. He was calm and gave me good advice that lead to my innocence. He was well worth the money and I would hire again.
