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.
Mr.Nace and his firm were extremely knowledgeable, consistent, responsive and extremely good! We were able to get a favorable settlement! I definitely recommend this team. They understand the law and can help guide you thru difficult situations. 3

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."
