also known as J.Christopher Deem
I attended The University of Michigan and then returned my home town of Columbus, Ohio to attend the Capital University College of Law. After graduation, I moved to Florida to start up and run a Florida office for Barkan + Neff, the Ohio law firm where I clerked while in law school. I handled workers’ comp and personal injury cases, as well as a large volume of hearings and appeals for social security disability claims. I was made a partner, and managed the Central Florida offices until 1990. Next, I became affiliated with the law firm that later became Prugh, Holliday & Deem. I remained with the firm for 14 years, handling a large number of personal injury cases and litigation, and continuing to represent social security disaiblity clients. In August, 2004, I opened my current trial practice, continuing with my dedication to helping injured and disabled clients with respectful and personal service.

Unless you are in an accident you cannot image the medical collection notices and insanity of the insurance industry. Just know its...
