Christopher Peter Gargano

Christopher "Chris" Gargano is a Certified Civil Trial Attorney.

As a personal injury attorney, he has dedicated his entire legal career to protecting the rights of injured persons and helping them obtain the largest financial recovery possible for their injuries. He has been an advocate for injured victims since 1988. That is why he co-founded the Law Offices of Coughlin and Gargano, P.C. in Jersey City, NJ in 1992 and the Law Offices of Christopher P. Gargano, P.C. in 2004.

He is committed to fighting for injured victims and holding liable the negligent parties accountable for their actions. He does this by offering his injury, workers compensation and disability clients quality legal representation in aggressively pursuing their claims to obtain the best result possible for each case. Chris established his law firm with these objectives in mind and has built a legal team and staff that have the tools, experience, talent, dedication, and resources to get the job done right.

He believes that every person who is injured because of another party's negligence has a right to financial compensation so that he or she can recover from their injuries, pay their medical bills, and get on with their lives.

After graduating from law school in 1986, he worked  for one of the olderst  law firms in Jersey City.  Many personal injury clients wanted him to represent them, so he and his former longtime partner Raymond Coughlin founded the Law Offices of Coughlin and Gargano, P.C. in 1992 to provide clients with the kind of legal representation and client service that they deserved and needed. In 2003 he established the Law Office of Christopher P. Gargano, P.C. at which time his longtime partner Raymond Coughlin became “of counsel” to the successor law firm. Chris continues to further advocate for the rights of the injured and the disabled.
