"If you’re facing a federal investigation or criminal allegations, you want Teymur Askerov in your corner. My situation was complex and high-stakes, with potential implications for my career, finances, and reputation. Mr. Askerov was everything you need in a federal criminal defense attorney: calm under pressure, clear in his communication, and incredibly strategic in how he approached the government’s theory of the case. He took the time to understand not only the facts, but also the nuances of my job, the financial records involved, and the broader context that others might have missed. He coordinated carefully with other agencies and guided me through some of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make—with confidence, integrity, and sound judgment. I always felt like I had a fierce advocate who also knew when to play it smart. If you're being investigated by a federal agency, this is the attorney you want."

"Chris’s professionalism, legal expertise & effective communication skills are unmatched. He fostered a favorable rapport between himself and my husband as his client and our family. Any time we had questions Chris always responded in a timely manner. He also explained things thoroughly and made sure everything was understood from a legal standpoint. Chris made my husband feel like he mattered throughout the whole process. If you need legal representation. I highly recommend Chris Black."
