Chris looks for practical solutions for clients facing lawsuits. Chris believes in a proactive, preventive approach to dealing with employment issues so that clients are placed in the best possible position to avoid lawsuits before they are filed. However, once a client is faced with defending a lawsuit, Chris' successful approach is to respond quickly and aggressively, making him a formidable opponent in the courtroom.
