About me
Before entering the legal field, Chris Wesner worked in the healthcare field as a physical therapist for 18 years. During this time he witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering — both physical and financial — of personal injury victims and their families. As the director of rehabilitation in nursing homes, he saw the effects of neglect and the impact it has on patients and their families. It was his experience in the medical field that propelled Chris into his legal career, and he maintains his physical therapy license today.
As an attorney, Chris continues to act as an advocate for the people who come to him seeking help. His compassionate support of clients is balanced by the tenacious representation he provides as well as the personal attention he devotes to every case.
