About Christopher
Biography
I have had the honor and privilege of representing hundreds of working people and their families across Ohio who have been adversley affected by asbestos exposure. Mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer and asbestosis are serious, sometimes fatal occupational diseases that have devastating consequences for victims, their spouses and families. I put my over twenty years of knowledge and experience to work for each client and fight to obtain the compensation they need and deserve.
