Christopher is an experienced Ohio estate planning, trust, and elder law attorney who understands his greatest skill is his ability to make complicated legal information logical and explain it to families so they understand both the ‘how’ and the ‘why.’ It wasn’t until Christopher was in law school that he was faced with the reality that most attorneys do not cultivate this skill and don’t approach education of clients and families as a vital part of their profession the way he does. You can expect 100% transparency, no horror stories, and reasoned answers for your questions when working with Christopher to create your family’s estate plan.
Christopher is licensed to practice law in the State of Ohio, as well as the federal courts in the Northern District of Ohio and Southern District of Ohio. Christopher is a member of the American Bar Association, the Columbus Bar Association, and Ohio State Bar Association, where he is a member of the Estate Planning, Trusts, and Probate Section.
When he isn’t practicing law, Christopher is an avid runner who has completed both 50 mile and 24-hour races and is currently working on qualifying for the Boston Marathon. As a veteran of the US Army, Christopher can be found each fall rooting for the Black Knights in the annual Army/Navy football game.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Christopher served in the US Army as an interrogator and military police. Christopher currently lives in Newark, Ohio with his wife Stacy, their son CJ, and daughter Catherine.
