His work centers on protecting legal rights, explaining complex legal processes, and guiding clients through stressful situations.

Christopher began his academic path at Eastern University in Saint Davids, Pennsylvania. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. During his studies, he also concentrated on computer science. He graduated with honors in 1983. He later enrolled in the Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware, and earned his Juris Doctor in 1992.

Christopher started his professional career in the data processing industry as a computer systems analyst. He worked with major organizations, including Unisys, J.P. Morgan, DuPont, and CSC. This experience strengthened his analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities, while exposing him to complex systems and high-level decision-making environments.

Christopher eventually realized that technical work did not provide the personal fulfillment he sought. He wanted a career that allowed him to directly help people facing real problems. This realization led him to pursue law, where he could apply his writing, speaking, and advocacy skills to matters with a meaningful impact on individuals’ lives.

Christopher attended law school through the Widener evening program while continuing to work full-time. This demanding schedule required discipline and determination. Balancing professional responsibilities with legal studies prepared him for the pressures of criminal defense work and strengthened his ability to manage complex cases efficiently.

Christopher has been a licensed attorney since 1992. He practices exclusively in criminal law and DUI law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His work involves defending clients across multiple counties, addressing charges that carry serious legal and personal consequences, and ensuring that each client’s rights are protected.
