Christopher Krimmer

As Christopher’s client, you will have an advocate who will zealously represent you in court while also recognizing the value of staying out of court whenever possible.

A unique aspect of Christopher’s relationship with his clients is that he recognizes that his role as an attorney is to not simply tell the client what he or she wants to hear, but what he or she needs to hear.

The client will always have control over the substantive decisions in his or her case and Christopher makes sure that those decisions are informed decisions. When the client’s decision is to litigate in Court, Christopher is a strong, experienced, and respected voice in the courtroom.
