“Chris helped me stay calm & informed during an investigation for an alleged sex crime that I was being accused of. He communicated with law enforcement and witnesses on my behalf, while ensuring I was informed every step of the way.”
Chris helped me stay calm & informed during an investigation for an alleged sex crime that I was being accused of. He communicated with law enforcement and witnesses on my behalf, while ensuring I was informed every step of the way. Without guaranteeing that we would beat this case, he maintained a confident attitude and kept my head up during these rough times. At the end, we had the case dismissed and closed. Chris truly is a life saver.
