Over 30+ years, Mr. Angles has built his practice around
these core concepts:
Preparation
There simply is no substitute, Chris strives to be the most prepared lawyer in the courtroom every time. Decades of trial experience – wins and losses – have taught him courtroom victories do not happen because of luck. Acquittals happen only after thorough, complete, and absolute preparation.
Client Communication
Mr. Angles knows his clients must also be prepared, which hinges on communication. Clients of the Angles Law Firm enjoy immediate, thorough, and clear communication with Mr. Angles, not an associate or staff person. Though Mr. Angles never guarantees the outcome of a case, he can guarantee his clients will receive professional, thorough, and consistent communication.
Trust
People facing investigation or charges ask the question: Who can I trust? Before taking on representation, Mr. Angles discusses trust with a potential client. Trusting your lawyer is an absolute must when considering your choice of a lawyer. In the coming days and months, you will need to rely on your lawyer’s advice and counsel. There is no barometer better than your gut instinct, after doing your own research. Don’t be fooled by flashy websites. Insist on asking your lawyer, not some assistant, all the questions you have.
Jury Trial Experience
Ask your lawyer about their jury trial experience. Jury trials are the ultimate crucible in criminal defense, and few lawyers have significant criminal defense jury trial experience. No amount of flash or misdirection can answer that question. With 30+ years of courtroom experience, Christopher J. Angles is widely respected in the field. He has obtained numerous acquittals, minimized sentences, and successful appeals in both state and federal courts. Angles routinely receives referrals from fellow attorneys, prosecutors, expert witnesses, and police officers, a testament to his standing in the legal community.
