Chris has extensive experience in many areas of the law.  While much of his experience is in the areas of personal injury and criminal defense, his broad background includes probate law, business law, contract law, family law, and general civil litigation.  He has successfully litigated many cases, including bench and jury trials, and also successfully appealed cases in the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and the Alabama Supreme Court.
