Drew began his legal career as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Alabama under the Honorable William “Bill” Pryor, who now serves on the bench of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Drew had the privilege being trained as a young lawyer by Pryor, who, along with Neil Gorsuch, was a front-runner for President Trump’s first Supreme Court appointment.  While serving the people of Alabama, Drew gained extensive experience in constitutional litigation, administrative prosecution, and complex civil litigation. During his tenure, he prosecuted cases in the violent crimes and public corruption divisions and was appointed General Counsel to multiple state boards and agencies, where he handled administrative prosecution, defense, and regulatory matters.

Drew successfully defended multi-million-dollar claims involving construction defect, commercial trucking, product liability, civil rights and employment matters, medical malpractice, tort litigation, and contract disputes. He has appeared multiple times before state supreme courts and has argued four cases before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

After a decade of practice in Alabama, Drew and his family returned home to Texas in 2009, where he founded Christman Attorneys, PLLC, laying the foundation for what would become a trusted legal presence in the DFW Metroplex.
