I am a Jacksonville native. I have lived here all of my life except for seven great years in Gainesville attending the University of Florida. I moved back right after graduation from law school and have resided in the San Marco area ever since. My law firm is also located in San Marco.
My personal interests include Major League Baseball, Gator football, golf, WWII history, backgammon, tennis, the greatest rock band in the world: Pearl Jam, and NASCAR races.
On the professional side, I enthusiastically practice criminal defense and have a busy family law practice. I have regularly practiced in both areas since I became licensed in 2001. The Harris Guidi Rosner law firm has been my home since 2007. There are 12 attorneys in the firm who, collectively, practice in many areas of the law, such as personal injury cases, automobile accidents, medical malpractice, workers compensation, social security disability, traffic tickets, drivers license issues, longshore, commercial and corporate litigation, appeals, and many other types of cases. Prior to this firm, I worked with a small law firm in Callahan for seven years.
Practicing law is the best job in the world. Each client is treated as a person, is unique, and is trying to overcome whatever problems he or she is experiencing. That is when I come into their lives. My job is to mitigate the trouble, to alleviate the obstacles to a productive life, and ease their way into the next chapter of their lives.

"I strongly endorse Mr. Wilson who is one of the best family law attorneys in Jacksonville. He is thorough and extremely compassionate with his clients."
"With nearly 20 years of courtroom experience, I would highly recommend Chris Wilson to anyone who needed a tough and aggressive attorney in his or her corner. He sincerely cares about his clients and works tirelessly on their behalf."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris Wilson often starts his days before 5 am for one reason: he is passionate about his clients. That’s the reason that he has been able to so effectively represent both family and criminal clients for over 10 years. Chris is organized and strategic about the handling of his clients cases, which explains why he is able to obtain positive results on their behalf."
"Mr. Wilson is an experienced accomplished respected attorney in the areas of family law and criminal law. He is aggressive and tenacious in his approach to both areas while at all times keeping the best interests of his clients in mind. His direct, no-nonsense approach to these types of cases has resulted in tremendous results."
"Mr. Wilson is more than just assertive in his representation of his clients, he is results driven. Chris understands the sometimes delicate nature of a divorce proceeding as well as the needed aggressiveness while defending defendants being charged with crimes. Mr. Wilson is the “Johnny on the Spot” attorney that most clients love to have with them in their time of crisis."
"Chris Wilson is an excellent, aggressive attorney. He is knowledgeable and very responsive. I would not hesitate to send friends, family or clients to him for family law or criminal law issues."
"Chris is an excellent attorney. I have seen his work both in and out of the courtroom and I have no hesitation recommending Chris for any Family or Criminal matter."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Chris as opposing counsel in a very difficult divorce. Chris has exhibited professionalism and skill throughout the entire case."
"I previously worked against Chris Wilson on a family law matter, but I am happy to endorse him even so. He is a skilled, experienced litigator who works hard on his client's behalf and who remains professional and level-headed despite the usually heightened emotions in any divorce or family law case. Don't get me wrong -- I happily represent clients seeking family law help here in Jacksonville. But if a potential client felt that we weren't the right fit, or was conflicted out from my representation, then I would be happy to suggest they seek out Chris for very competent and efficient representation. He's an ethical and excellent family law trial attorney."
"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Chris Wilson for more than four years at my prior firm. Chris is dedicated to each of his clients, meticulous in his presentation and prosecution of the defense of his clients, and driven by a passion for achieving the best possible result for his clients. He is well known in the legal community, and has achieved an excellent reputation while practicing before the local courts. Chris is extremely comfortable and effective in the courtroom, and spends more time during a normal work week in court than out of it. I highly recommend Chris for both criminal defense and family law matters."
"I highly recommend Chris Wilson. I have sent many clients to Chris for assistance with criminal defense and family matters over the years. I have only received positive feedback on Chris' ability to represent my clients. I will continue to look to Chris for assistance for many years to come."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have sent some clients to Chris and the people have raved about his ability to get results. I shall continue to send possible clients to Chris, now that he has all my confidence to produce results for my friends and associates."
