Christopher exhibits a passion for Family Law, and endeavors to constantly keep up-to-date with the law in order to be a strong advocate for his clients. He is understanding of a client’s mindset and circumstances as it relates to litigation, and understands the difficulties and challenges that his clients endure through this process. With that in mind, Christopher works tirelessly to resolve his client’s highly contentious matters. Family Law is often difficult, overwhelming and an emotional endeavor for the clients to take on without Legal Representation.

Prior to law school, Christopher attended York University and obtained Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Political Science and Sociology with Honours.

Outside of the office, Christopher enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, boxing, and playing the guitar and piano.
