Christopher structured his scholastic career around becoming a proficient legal writer, as indicated by his membership in the University of Detroit Mercy Law Review, where he served as a Title Editor. His experience as a law clerk inspired him to dedicate his Note to advocating for the reform of Michigan civil asset forfeiture law to further protect the property rights of citizens, particularly the most vulnerable and disparately impacted members of society.
Practical Experience
- Judicial Intern, Federal Pro Se Clinic: a summary judgment motion he drafted and filed was granted by the Honorable Judge Bernard A. Friedman in U.S. District Court
- Law Clerk: assisted two criminal defense attorneys with their 100 open cases for three years, drafting proposed orders and other legal documents and memoranda
Rooted in Detroit
Being born and raised, attending college, and working in or just outside the city of Detroit his entire life, Christopher's passion for advocating for members of its community and the state of Michigan at large may only be rivaled by his passion as a fan of each of Detroit's professional sports teams. Christopher believes that working with the firm's accomplished professionals will allow him to continue to flourish as an attorney and deliver justice to his clients.
