About Christopher
Biography
I am a former insurance company defense attorney that now only represents accident victims against insurance companies. I feel that my experience working on behalf of insurance companies has provided me with great insight as to how they evaluate cases and defend cases. I am born and raised in Jacksonville and have been a member of the Florida Bar since 1991. I am a graduate of the University of Florida Levin School of Law. I have tried several personal injury case in which the verdicts exceeded one million dollars. I am a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. At my firm we treat our clients as we would expect to be treated: with dignity and respect. I welcome the opportunity to represent you in your accident claim. Thank you, Chris Johns

The Right Guy
Our family had never had a reason to with work a lawyer prior to Chris - from the very first meeting with him we knew we had “the right guy”.
