Chris is a top notch lawyer and we have been so fortunate to have him represent our company through its journey of operations. From contract reviews and looking out for our best interest, to litigation matters; Chris has remained a constant in providing quality service. We’ve worked with a handful of corporate lawyers that have extensive resumes, but cared little about building rapport with us as clients. As a small, family-owned business, rapport is a must for us to collaborate together. Chris is the best of both worlds with his extensive resume as he brings attentiveness, professionalism, and is always available to answer our questions and service our company. His expertise and persistence has been a staple in our company’s success. If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Chris as your guy. Chris is the (Reel) deal!

Small business owners, rejoice! Finally there's a lawyer who "gets it". Chris makes the law accessible, goes out of his way to understand your needs as an entrepreneur, and drafts contracts that match your brand. I am thrilled with the whole experience.

I have worked with Chris and his team for a few years now, across a multitude of brands/businesses. Not only have they helped button up my business with contract writing and consulting but also have helped me secure necessary trademarks to help me feel more secure with marketing my business. I highly recommend them (and have referred to many others) as a trustworthy solution to small business legal needs.
