Attorney Chris Amrhein

I was injured in a diving accident, and I am paralyzed from the chest down. The insurance company said it was my fault. I retained attorney Chris Amrhein, he assembled a team of experts including aquatic experts. Chris thoroughly prepared my case and was fiercely aggressive fighting for me against th...e insurance company and he took the case to trial. After opening statements before the jury, the insurance company settled. Chris is an aggressive, dedicated, and caring advocate. If you need the best personal injury lawyer, hire Chris Amrhein.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr. Amrhein represented me in an Insurance case

My family and I were being sued for damages re: a car accident of a few years ago. I firmly felt that this was an attempt to recover funds for prior physical and emotional injuries, i.e, for injures that had nothing to do with the accident. Mr. Amrhein is the attorney who represented the insurance c...ompany and therefore also represented myself. After a long process, he did a truly outstanding job and this resulted in a favorable yet fair judgement. I would heartily recommend him to anyone. I will certainly use him myself if I ever get into any trouble, God forbid.

Personal injury lawyer | May 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have interacted with Attorney Amrhein for approximately 20 years in cases which we've either co-counseled or have been opposing counsel. In my 45 years of practicing law, and I have never encountered an attorney that comes as prepared and is as thorough as Attorney Amrhein. Attorney Amrhein is an extremely accomplished attorney who has tried a multitude of very significant personal injury cases. Accordingly, when opposing counsel recognizes Attorney Amrhein's ability and experience, this is a significant factor that enters into settlement and mediation matters. Aside from his expert legal skills, Attorney Amrhein is a kind and compassionate attorney whose clients truly appreciate his empathy in their times of need."

"i have worked extensively with Attorney Chris Amrhein and know first hand that his level of preparation is unsurpassed. He takes to heart the causes of his clients and is extremely persuasive with insurance companies or to juries if cases can not be settled. He is a caring, loyal and fierce advocate for his clients and is highly respected in the legal field for his successes. I give him my highest recommendation."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
