About Christopher
Biography
I was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in southwest Florida. After graduating from the University of South Florida with my Bachelor’s degree, I attended The Florida State University College of Law to earn my Juris Doctor. Outside of work I volunteer with Metropolitan Ministries and Big Brother & Big Sisters. I also enjoy quality time with my family, sporting events and anything outdoors. In addition to Spanish, I am also fluent in Polish. Prior to my legal career, I was a licensed massage therapist where I directly treated patient’s injuries sustained from the negligence of others. It was here when I learned how frequently insurance companies mistreat victims in an effort to save themselves money. I aggressively represent those injured as the result of others’ negligence including but not limited to: auto accidents, slip/trip & falls, victims of negligent security, as well as families in wrongful death cases.

Chris Gaj and team has helped win two cases for me with ease. As with all cases, it of course took time, but that did not deter Chris.
