Christopher M. Haws

Expert guidance through a complex estate and tax situation

When my family was navigating the complexities of settling my late father's estate, which included a small business and out-of-state property, we needed an attorney with a sharp eye for both trusts and tax implications. Christopher Haws at Taft was recommended to us, and his counsel proved invaluable. Despite his relatively few years in practice, his deep knowledge was immediately apparent. He clearly explained the nuanced interplay between Colorado probate law and the federal tax consequences we faced, a dual expertise that his Best Lawyers recognition in both Trusts and Estates and Tax Law clearly validates. Christopher was not only highly professional and responsive but also patient, taking time to ensure we understood every option. His strategic approach saved our family significant time, money, and stress. We felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process and achieved an outcome that honored my father's wishes while protecting our financial future. I would confidently recommend him to anyone with similar sophisticated planning needs.
