Over his twenty years of practicing law, Chris has successfully represented clients in a wide range of litigation matters as diverse as legal and accounting malpractice, employment disputes, personal injury claims, family law disputes, and a million dollar federal income tax dispute which turned on his successful cross- examination of an FBI handwriting expert regarding the validity of what the government claimed was his client's signature. Chris recognizes that in order to obtain the very best "net" benefit for his clients in any legal matter requires both a cost-benefit analysis to the litigation, as well as an in-depth consideration of the likelihood of success of various potential tactical approaches to the ligation.
