A first generation college graduate with a goal of becoming an attorney since he was in the third grade, Chris understands firsthand the value of passion and perseverance. You can feel confident that your case will benefit from that same drive. Chris focused his law school curriculum on business law. After graduating from law school, Chris practiced in a general practice law firm for eight years. During those eight years, Chris practiced in the areas of family law, criminal defense, employment law, real estate, and general civil litigation. Since that time, he has practiced almost exclusively in family law. Chris has successfully represented clients in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Ohio Court of Claims, several state appellate courts, and numerous county courts across the State of Ohio. He is no stranger to a courtroom or to doggedly pursuing the right results for his clients. 

Being a divorced father and now remarried with a blended family, Chris understands the stresses and intricacies of the legal and real world issues that our clients face on a daily basis. After having that personal experience, Chris has dedicated his career to assisting clients with their family law issues and protecting his clients’ families, assets, and interests.  

Chris resides in Hilliard with his wife, three children, and dog Quinn.  In his free time he enjoys music, running, playing and watching sports, visiting local breweries and distilleries, and spending time with friends and family.
