The firm focuses on criminal defense, ranging from simple misdemeanors to serious felonies, and also has a thriving personal injury practice.
Christopher’s passion for criminal defense began at the young age of 8 when his father spoke to him of the racial injustice he faced as a young man growing up in West Philadelphia. It is this passion that drove Christopher to focus his practice on criminal defense, so that he could protect the rights of the vulnerable to ensure all are treated justly and equally under the law.
He attended the University of Southern California, graduating with a B.A. in Psychology, and a minor in Law and Society. While at USC, his studies emphasized the areas of criminology and the psychology of wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct.

He also received the Cali Award for highest grade in his Civil Torts course.
Christopher immersed himself in the field of criminal defense, taking advanced criminal law courses. He also externed with the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s office where he experienced firsthand the vulnerabilities clients face when being accused of a crime. These experiences solidified his passion for fighting for and defending his clients against mistreatment by the police, prosecutors, and courts.
Shortly after graduating law school Christopher opened his own practice where he could provide legal counsel to those in need.
