Outstanding Breach of Contract Support

Christopher was outstanding in his support of our unfortunate breach of contract case. We had a poor situation where we lost a great deal of very personal items that had been agreed to with a contractor. It was an incredibly difficult time for me and my family, but Christopher fought for us and was a...ble to help us recover the financial component of our interaction in it's entirety. I don’t know what we would have done without him. Christopher is an amazing person to have in your corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
