Meet Chris
In the high-stakes world of litigation and trial, a calculated and calm approach is a competitive advantage. I am a trial attorney who specializes in a specific type of legal advocacy, and I am brought in by other firms to handle some of their most complex and challenging cases. My practice is dedicated to providing high-stakes advocacy when your client needs it most.
A Different Approach to Litigation
I am not a generalist. My practice is intentionally designed to serve as a strategic partner to other law firms. I am available to serve as lead trial counsel, collaborating closely with your team to handle the most critical aspects of a case—from creative strategy and motion practice to trial. This allows you to retain the client relationship and the day-to-day management of the case while ensuring your client's interests are protected by a focused, best-in-class trial lawyer.
My philosophy is that a strong case is built on a clear, compelling narrative and flawless execution. I provide the critical expertise and strategic focus needed to secure a win, ensuring that my client’s case is handled with the precision and confidence it deserves.
My Core Competencies
My practice is built on a core set of skills honed over a decade of litigation experience. My services are available on a co-counsel basis.
Trial Counsel I join your team to handle the high-stakes portion of your most complex cases. I am there to be your partner, providing dedicated advocacy from voir dire to closing arguments. We will work together to ensure your case is represented with the precision and confidence it deserves.
Trial Strategy Consulting I offer a fresh perspective on your litigation strategy, providing a collaborative process to build a comprehensive roadmap for your case. Together, we will identify critical motions, refine your core legal arguments, and chart a course designed for a decisive victory. This service is about building a winning plan in partnership with your firm.
Jury Consulting I provide strategic counsel focused on the human element of your case, leveraging my intuition to read a room and understand juror dynamics. I help you anticipate a jury's reactions and refine your core arguments to resonate on a human level. My goal is to ensure you enter the courtroom with a compelling narrative that is built for real people, not just for the law.
Why I Work with Other Firms
While I have my own private practice, Reel Legal Counsel, I provide trial counsel services to other law firm’s throughout the country on an ad hoc basis. This allows me to assist clients and their advocates, you, when it is most needed. With an emphasis on co-counseling with you and your firm, I can provide a level of expertise that is often not found in-house at a general practice firm. My goal is to be a trusted resource for you, so when you are presented with a matter that requires the focus of a specialized trial attorney, you know who to call.
