Christopher Frey is a highly regarded former prosecutor who offers a strong pedigree in acting for financial services companies and executives in regulatory investigations and enforcement.

I don't know anyone who pays more attention to detail but can also roll up to see the bigger picture.

Chris is the kind of guy who you can call at midnight when you're in a tricky spot with an investigation and he will calmly and shrewdly come up with a response and a plan of action.

An excellent white-collar lawyer and civil litigator. He's one of the best lawyers on the West Coast.
