Top Houston Civil & Criminal Lawyer
Chris Choate began his journey toward becoming one of the country’s most promising defense attorneys more than two decades ago. As a student at the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington, Mr. Choate took a deep interest in white-collar criminal defense, tailoring his studies to focus on federal, international, and transnational disciplines.
Outside the classroom, he served as the Operations Editor of the Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies and Vice-President of the International Law Society. Mr. Choate was awarded his JD in 2004 and began practicing law shortly after.
Today, after more than twenty years of helping to protect the rights of others, Mr. Choate has established himself as a tenacious and formidable Houston criminal defense lawyer. His entire career has been based on being on the move to help his clients. Helping put a face to the firm’s name in counties across Texas, he has traveled to appear in dozens of courts across the State. In addition, he has traveled to Japan to negotiate with public prosecutors and to Liechtenstein to collaborate with local counsel. He has handled unique and complex federal cases in more than 30 district and circuit courts nationwide, from Tacoma, Washington, to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Floyd team as Mr. Floyd’s right-hand man and lead litigation and research attorney, Chris Choate’s unique experience with a comprehensive range of criminal, civil, and transactional legal disciplines enables him to find inventive and strategic solutions to his clients’ concerns. Chris is a fierce and relentless legal advocate, investing extensive time, energy, and research into every case, stopping only when he finds a solution.
