Christopher est originaire de la région de la capitale nationale. Christopher communique efficacement en français et en anglais et peut servir ses clients dans une langue ou l’autre. En tant qu’avocat, Christopher se spécialise dans la revendication des droits des personnes ayant subi des blessures, ainsi que de leurs familles. Il prend le temps de comprendre à fond tous les aspects de la cause de ses clients, son but étant de les aider à refaire leur vie.
