Chris represents clients in defamation and First Amendment matters, probate litigation, real estate disputes, construction litigation, personal injury and wrongful death cases, and commercial litigation. He has helped defend Maine media outlets against defamation claims and has significant criminal defense experience. Chris has litigated in both state and federal courts throughout Maine.
While prepared to fight hard for his clients, Chris recognizes the inherent value of resolving litigation problems collaboratively when possible.

Prior to attending law school, Chris earned a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, with honors, from the University of Chicago and later served five years as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant in the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). He deployed twice to Iraq and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal in recognition of his service.
