Chris was born and raised right here in Orlando. He attended the University of Central Florida graduating with a B.A. in Political Science. Upon receiving his Bachelor’s Degree, Chris enrolled in the University of Florida Levin College of Law where he received a Juris Doctorate. While in law school, Chris volunteered at the State Attorney’s Office and began his exposure to the criminal justice system.
Upon graduating from law school and passing the Florida Bar, Chris accepted a position with the Office of the Public Defender in the 9th Judicial Circuit. During this time, Chris handled more than 1,000 misdemeanor and felony cases covering virtually every type of crime. Very quickly, Chris developed a reputation of being an aggressive trial attorney and was promoted to the felony division in less than a year.
Recognizing the importance of service to the Central Florida community, Chris was appointed by former Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty to the Animal Services Review Board where he served as Chairman from December of 2010 until December of 2011.
Today, Chris continues to aggressively represent those accused of crimes as well as those who find themselves injured by the negligence of others. His dedication, trial experience, and no-nonsense attitude make him a true advocate in both Criminal and Civil Court.
