Chris is a University of Florida graduate. Following his graduation, he attended the Stetson University College of Law where he began working in personal injury with a firm in St. Petersburg, Florida. He worked as a law clerk full-time while he was also enrolled full-time in law school. Following graduation, he continued to advocate for the rights of the injured. He continued on with the same firm in St. Petersburg and tried his first civil jury trial during his first year of practice.
When his wife was accepted to the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, they moved back to Gainesville. Chris continues to represent the injured in a variety of cases including auto accidents and trucking accidents. He continues to vigorously represent his clients – including at juries trials here in Alachua County.
In his short practice, he has recovered over ten million dollars for his clients, tried multiple cases to favorable plaintiff verdicts (including a 7-figure award), and has been honored with a membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
Chris is licensed to practice in all Florida State Courts and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Florida.
