Our Team

 Christopher decided to become an attorney after he experienced firsthand the unfair bias that parents often encounter when seeking their own rights. Without the means to hire a lawyer, he began to research and understand the complexities of the legal system as he fought for the welfare of his own daughter. Christopher’s own personal challenges with the complex legal system led to his desire to help others in a greater capacity. After serving in the Army, Christopher received his bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Grand Valley State University and his law degree from Western Michigan University’s Cooley Law School. Christopher received numerous “Top Advocate” and 1st place awards while in Law School for his writing and advocacy abilities. While attending Law School full-time, Christopher served as the President of the Children’s Law Society and was a Senator for the Student Bar Association. Additionally, Christopher was a student representative for Themis Bar Review, and a student faculty trainer for Lexis Nexis. Christopher also worked as an extern for the Kent County Public Defender, and the expungement clinic hosted by Cooley Law School. After law school, Christopher worked in Detroit as a Trial Attorney representing injured clients. While litigating in Detroit, Christopher developed a strong reputation as a well-tempered attorney, who zealously prepares to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. Christopher’s unbending determination and aggressive litigation style earned him respect from his colleagues along with the nickname “Bulldog.” Once established, Christopher aimed his attention towards Family Law and decided to open his own practice to better serve his clients. Christopher's can-do attitude, past personal experience, attention to detail and family first approach solidify him as a top attorney for any family law issue! Christopher remarried in 2016 and enjoys spending days boating on the Lakeshore with his wife and 13-year-old son. Christopher’s daughter is now happily married and attends college in Florida. Christopher works to help families avoid the legal struggles that he faced in his younger years.
