Christopher Robert Walsh

Christopher R. Walsh was a Minnesota Trial Lawyer with twenty-five years of experience focused in two civil litigation practice areas: personal injury and employment law. Mr. Walsh is not currently practicing law, and has asked Avvo to hibernate or take down this site, but it failed to do so promptly.  So this site is inactive and a historical reference point only.  Mr. Walsh did not receive any new clients nor give consultations after January 6, 2016.  Mr. Walsh was a fourth generation Minnesota lawyer who mainly helped consumers, injured persons, the disabled, families of accident victims, and those wrongly fired or discriminated against. What does Mr. Walsh view his greatest accomplishment in his legal career? "The many people whom I helped recover from an accident, injury or illegal treatment by an employer. To get their lives back."

Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyer

Mr. Walsh was a Million Dollar Advocate with experience in helping people recover financially from catastrophic injuries, suing drunk or hit-and-run drivers for punitive damages, and forcing insurers to fairly pay claims for pain, suffering disability, wage loss, and future impairment to earning capacity.  In his long and storied career of fighting for justice for the disadvanteged, Chris Walsh successfully and creatively resolved claims from aviation to bicycle accidents, from semi-truck collisions, to supposed "low impact" claims which in fact resulted in a brain injury.  Former Attorney Walsh and his staff never just looked at the surface of a case; they dug deep finding a way to win, sometimes agaisnt the odds.  From burn injuries to dog attack cases, Mr. Walsh helped shape Minnesota law particularly in cases where others negligently inflicted emotional distress on a helpless victim who was placed in a zone of danger, or suffered abuse or assault.  The human mind, body and emotions are all connected, so Chris Walsh advocated for the whole person.  When insurance companies, adjusters and corporations took a rigid or limited approach to evaluating claims, Mr. Walsh was skilled at bringing them to court and seeking the whole truth of the case.   legal help in all aspects of an injury or death case.  As stated above, and as Avvo was previously notified, Mr. Walsh is not currently practicing law.  If you have a former case that he worked on, which is still open, please contact your new attorney.  If you have a closed case, past minor settlement, or some unfinished business contact Mr. Walsh, but he is not presently giving legal advice on any matters.  If you still need a copy of your old file, contact Mr. Walsh at . 333-1-L-A-W.

Christopher R Walsh had more than two decades of experience investigating, litigating and mediating all types of accident and personal injury cases.  With more than twenty-five jury trials, and more than twenty-five verdicts and settlements exceeding $100,000, Mr. Walsh helped hundreds of people.  If you are interested in giving a statement of how Mr. Walsh helped you or a family member during his long legal career in Minnesota, please make contact.  But he is no longer practicing law at this time.  Attorney Walsh recovered millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for his clients, and was named to the National Asssociation of Distinguished Counsel, on the Wall of Tolerance at the Southern Poverty Law Center, was a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and was named a Leading American Attorney.

Minnesota Discrimination & Employment Lawyer

Christopher R. Walsh was a Minnesota Employment Law Attorney who achieved superlative results for clients, in FEPA agencies, with the EEOC, and in both Minnesota State and Federal Courts.  Though most agencies routinely dismiss more than 90% of discrimination charges, and federal courts nationwide dismiss or rule against the Plaintiff a startling 85% of the time, Mr. Walsh had the endurance and determination to take on powerful employers and corporations and win or force them to settle.  At the trial court level and in the appellate courts, Mr. Walsh and his former clients prevailed in many, many types of discrimination, retaliation and employment law matters.  Mr. Walsh dedicated his career to the belief that every race, religion, and orientation of people have a right to work and pursue the American Dream, and to overcome disabilities or get past historical discrimination, gender bias and stereotypes. Our employment laws should promote and protect equality and civil rights, both here in the diverse State of Minnesota and nationwide. Though he is not currently practicing, and is investing in real estate, Mr. Walsh enjoys hearing from the hundreds of former clients whom he helped obtain justice.
