With over two decades of legal experience, Christopher founded California Subpoena Company to provide attorneys with reliable litigation support services. Known for being highly responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to client success, Christopher, thru his team, combines real-world legal experience and knowledge with a personable approach.

Christopher, also, has related and peripheral experience in Civil TROs and Preliminary Injunctions related to property, Joinder Motions, Set-Asides, Change of Venue and Transfer of Jurisdiction Motions, Complex Discovery Issues and Motions, Demurrers and General Motions Strike, Special Motions to Strike (Anti-SLAPP Motions), Sister-State Judgments, and Set-Off Motions.


Christopher also served as a Legal Administrative Assistant at Stanford University’s Office of General Counsel (OGC), where he supported seven attorneys who practiced across a broad spectrum of complex areas including:

  • Contracts
  • Patents, trademarks, copyrights, infringement, and fair use issues
  • Civil litigation and discovery/discoverability issues
  • Title IX matters
