"Wow - I can’t recommend Chris highly enough ! I called him on a matter related to an old arrest record for my son. He called me back super quick and was very candid and informative. Explained to me everything I needed to do right over the phone and why I didn’t need to hire an attorney to do it. It is so rare to find a service provider these days who knows their stuff and is a straight shooter. Honest, candid and helpful and will tell you straight up if he can help you or not right away."

"I was referred to Chris by a good friend who is a recently retired madison lawyer. From the first second I contacted Chis, everything was on track, no nonsense. He kept me updated on his every move in a very clear and concise manner. On our 3rd pretrial, the DA dismissed my case !! Chris expertly negotiated a BEST CASE SCENARIO for me. I am elated !! Chris is a seasoned, hard working expert. He lifted this huge "cloud " off my shoulders. I could not be more grateful. DEFFINATLY RECOMMEND"

"Some attorneys are just strictly there for the money and do as little work as they have to. I was a legal secretary for a few years so I met a lot of attorneys. Never in my life have I met an attorney like the man that I'm reviewing right now. He went above and beyond to save me from the biggest mistake of my life. He didn't care if it cost him money from not being hired as an attorney he cared about what was right and what was wrong and not many attorneys care about that anymore trust me. If you want sn attorney that tells you exactly how it is and doesn't sugarcoat anything, this is the attorney you want to hire."
