What the nominator said:
“Chris has become an accomplished and successful litigator with experience in all levels of Delaware courts, including Supreme Court and District Court. And though trial litigation is his primary practice area, he has never backed down from meeting a challenge concerning a complex real estate, contract, or even environmental matter as an Assistant City Solicitor with the City of Wilmington. As legal counsel to Gov. Carney, he is once again tasked with overseeing a wide array of complex legal and policy initiatives throughout Delaware, and is able to do so with not only great skill, but with a great attitude.”
