He began his legal education by earning a B.S. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from The Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL. Chris continued his legal education at the Syracuse University College of Law and interned for a Criminal Defense Clinic and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.

After graduating law school, Chris worked as a prosecutor for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. During his three plus years as a prosecutor, Chris handled numerous probation violation hearings and felony jury trials including domestic battery by strangulation, possession of narcotics with intent to distribute, battery on law enforcement officers, drug trafficking, strong arm robbery, DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and numerous burglary charges, including those punishable by life sentences.
