Your firm’s advantage in litigation strategy and trial consulting.

Chris’ Ethos

In the high-stakes world of commercial and civil litigation, strategy must displace panic. While many litigation teams are consumed by the administrative volume of discovery and daily workflow, my focus remains singularly on calm, calculated advocacy. I am retained by firm to assist with some of their most complex and challenging trial mandates.

My professional purpose is defined by the simple imperative of pursuing jusice—advocating in state and federal courts for my clients who are mainly small to midsize businesses and their investors.

Why I Am Brought In:

  • Creative Case Building: Identifying the core dispute and crafting a compelling, jury-resonant narrative.

  • Relentless Trial Advocacy: The courtroom is where my work culminates. I provide focused, relentless, and prepared advocacy dedicated to client success.

  • Intuitive Interpersonal Command: My ability to read the room allows me to adapt quickly, maintaining juror attention and preparing/delivering closing arguments with genuine, compelling force.

I am a plaintiff’s lawyer who focuses on the fight against big adversaries. My primary focus is on employment litigation and securities litigation. I also work through my independent company as a trial/litigation strategist and consultant with firms across the United States. I am also sought after as co-counsel by firms throughout the country for high-stakes commercial disputes.
