While at Baylor Law, Mr. King spent time at the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office, the Williamson County Prosecutor’s Office, Abilene Christian University Legal Office, Lone Star Legal Aid, and clerking for a Baylor Law Professor and a Federal Magistrate Judge in Houston, Texas. This multifaceted experience underlies Mr. King’s varied talents in the law. Throughout law school, Mr. King worked and interned for the Law Office of Robert G. Callahan, II. Their work together prepared them to forge their partnership immediately upon Chris’s licensure in 2013.
