"Fair pricing and accurate information."
"Christopher was wonderful to work with. Friendly, helpful, prompt AND super knowledgeable."
"Christopher was friendly and very easy to work. Would highly recommend."
"Chris is extremely good at what he does, and always does what's in a client's best interest. I enjoyed working with him, and will definitely be working with him in the future. Look no further! Hire Chris today!"
"Chris was wonderful to work with. He listened to what my needs were and addressed them quickly. He explained how he could help and explained some of the legal wording that can be confusing. He produced the document I needed in a timely manner. I highly recommend him and will use his services again in the future when needed."
"I worked with Chris when I was Director of Worldwide OEM sales for McAfee. As all OEM contracts are one off in nature, each agreement had to be negotiated individually whether the company was huge, like a Dell or Apple, or a smaller company. As such, we worked very closely with our legal team, and in particular Chris Usrey. He was a breath of fresh air to work with. Not only is he a very solid business lawyer, but he is one of the few lawyers that really had a deep understanding of our business as well. More than a just a few times when we were deadlocked in a business issue with our prospective customer, Chris would suggest a creative solution that would break the stoppage so we could move on. His research and market knowledge were always thorough and deep. His call preparation detailed and in depth. He is articulate, but concise. In short, I always went into a negotiation with strong confidence having Chris at my side whether the discussion was on contracts and other legal matters. I would recommend him strongly on any business legal or contractual issue. He is the best legal counsel I have ever worked with."
