I have been working with Chris for almost 8 years. He is professional, responsive, handles difficult clients with ease and has a really great assistant, Diane. Working in the estate world can sometimes be intense, and I appreciate Chris' ability to make my stressful job a little bit more fun by having a great sense of humor. He and his partner Tiffany make a great team, and I never hesitate referring their firm. I am thankful for the many years of hard work and professionalism. Thank you, Chris!
