Columbus, OH Probate Lawyer with 33 years of experience
Probate, Elder, Estate Planning and Family

Christopher is now an experienced trust & estate attorney, with expertise in estate planning, trust administration, and probate. But as a child, Christopher R.

It wasn’t until Christopher was in law school that he was faced with the reality that most attorneys...
