brittany kirkwoodI hired Chris when I was charged with some serious charges about a year ago. He represented me at a reasonable price. Many people were asking a crazy amount but Chris cut me a deal and did me a favor. Not only is he down to earth with a great sense of humor he is a beast in the court room. He’s aggressive yet respectful and he fought for me for the best possible outcome of my case. He was always available by phone or text. Kept me updated throughout the process and Truly went above and beyond. My family loved him and he really cares about his clients. He was even super nice to my four year old son!! Hopefully won’t ever have to hire a criminal defense attorney every again but he would be the one to call. He does it all!! He was worth every penny!!!
