He then accepted a job in Hastings with Doug Pauley where he eventually became partner at Conway, Pauley & Johnson P.C. Chris and his paralegal Joan Coble built a legacy advocating the benefits of shared parenting for children. Chris will be remembered as a selfless man who always sought out the good in people.
