Why Do I Do What I Do?

Throughout life, Christopher has been a staunch advocate of justice and the American Way. As a Marine, Christopher was able to truly understand the price of freedom and the ideals upon which the United States of America was founded. As a Judge, Christopher continued to apply these principles to adjudicate matters both fairly and impartially. As an advocate – Christopher leverages these same underpinnings to help ensure that each and every client is given the proper attention and that their situation is understood and when and where possible mitigated. Christopher’s greatest sense of accomplishment has come from service to others and maintaining and preserving clients’ rights is more than just a mantra, it is a way of life.
