Chris joined the firm in 2009. His main focus is representing individuals in Chapter 7, 11 and 13 bankruptcy filings but he also handles a number of family, probate and business matters.

I had just turned 62 and found myself unemployed for the first time in my life. After several months of job search, I was getting worried. I had several thousand in savings and did not want to lose it so I signed up and started receiving my Social Security payment. Thomas
