Chris is the strategist you want in your corner—whether it’s finding a creative solution for your immigration case or figuring out the best way to win a game of cribbage. Chris has been licensed in Oregon since 2005 and has spent that last two decades focused on US immigration law.  He’s now added the equally complex world of Canadian immigration to his résumé.

Fluent in Spanish, Chris has worked with clients from every walk of life—from Indigenous Guatemalan farmers to Latin American high court judges—and brings a humane, compassionate approach to every case. A recognized expert on US asylum and refugee law, Chris is a regular speaker at professional conferences and trusted for strategic advice on complex cross-border matters.  Outside of work, you’ll find Chris in hiking in the backcountry, cooking up a storm or beating you at cards.
