Meet the Business Owner

Christopher S.

Business Owner

I grew up in Brookline, and attended Brookline H.S. and Boston University. I also lived in NYC, Washington DC, Dublin, Ireland and Kyoto, Japan as a young person, and Madison, WI where I attended the UW-​Law School. I am active in the community, serving on the board of the Brookline Chamber of Commerce, and another non-​profit. I am married and my family and I live in Newton. I enjoy practicing law because it gives me the opportunity to help people, whether I am negotiating the purchase or sale or their real estate, being their advocate in divorce court or criminal court. I often deal with people at stressful moments in their lives, whether they are buying or selling their home, divorcing their spouse, or fighting a criminal charge. I try to accommodate clients as much as I can, whether through meeting with them after hours, or maintaining steady communications throughout their transaction or their case. I like to solve clients’ problems. Is there something I can help you with?
