WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO STAND BEFORE A JURY AND REPRESENT YOU, I AM HERE TO HELP.

I'm a plaintiffs trial lawyer practicing in Washington, DC, Maryland, and West Virginia and am very proud to have the opportunity to represent individuals who have been harmed through no fault of their own.

 

I'm an avid Georgetown Hoyas basketball fan and a Washington football fan.  My baseball loyalties lie with the Washington Nationals.

 

Beyond fighting for my clients in the courtroom, I fight to keep the court house doors open through my involvment on the Boards of the American Association for Justice and the Public Justice Foundation, as well as my service as Vice President of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, DC.

 

But the most exciting thing in my life right now is my upcoming wedding in October. I am very much looking forward to marrying my perfect partner, Tracee.

Straight Talk & Compassionate Client Care
We had a very successful outcome for our legal case that allowed us to stabilize our family's life after a brain injury. Yet it was the process of the case that was as important to us, because we had so much to manage medically, emotionally, and mentally, during this challenging time. Chris Nace and his excellent team didn't involve us unless they needed our attention, allowing us to place our focus where it was required, in our healing. Also, they spent time answering our questions, no matter how trivial, since we had never used a lawyer except in the creation of our wills. We felt prepared for the case, and informed of our options, but yet not burdened by too much information. We were given adequate preparation for the next steps, but we were not overwhelmed by a multitude of responsibilities. As part of their client care, we were able to help protect our children and other family members from the rigors of an adversarial environment, and to go on with our lives instead of being involved in legal matters. Frankly, it was Nace's straight talk that brought us to Chris and his father Barry, and it was their compassionate response and awareness of our situation that kept us optimistic through the inevitable ups and downs of this long, convoluted process. I would recommend Chris Nace without hesitation, as he has the kind of doggedness and integrity that you want on your side, and because this organization has the expertise and experience that makes a level playing field out of the surprises and biases of the legal system.

Endorse Christopher
Medical malpractice Attorney | Apr 16
Relationship: Friend
"I endorse this lawyer."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Nov 08
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is a fine trial lawyer. He is knowledgable, skilled and prepared. His commitment to his clients is remarkable. I recommend him highly."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Aug 24
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Chris and the other members of his firm are some of the best medical malpractice attorneys in the United States. It is a family affair, which in my mind is a critical distinction when it comes to representing your family in a medical negligence or other tort claim. Chris and his brothers Jonathan and Matthew are lead by their father Barry, a stalwart in the field of medical malpractice litigation. The firm combines youthful enthusiasm, cutting edge techniques and decades of experience to bring about the best possible outcomes for their clients. In addition, Chris works actively to educate the public on how the civil justice system works and why it is important. He is also a firm believer in making the practice of medicine safer. In fact, if given the option, I'm sure Chris would prefer to never represent another victim of medical malpractice. Until that day comes, should you need the services of a medical negligence attorney in the Washington, DC area, you'd do well to contact Chris."
Litigation Attorney | Mar 14
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Chris is a shrewd and skillful litigator. I had the pleasure to work with Chris on a complicated manner and I watched him successfully negotiate an excellent settlement. I recommend Chris highly."
