Prior to becoming a lawyer, Chris served eight years in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper and Russian translator for Military Intelligence. He continued in government service as a prosecuting attorney; a position for which he made hundreds of court appearances. It is this extensive courtroom experience that Chris brings to Rosengren Law Office, LLC.
Prior to founding Rosengren Law Office, LLC, Chris spent eight years as a Workers' Compensation Attorney for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. He worked exclusively on Wal-Mart's Minnesota workers' compensation claims for its stores throughout the state. He has personally appeared hundreds of times before Judges and Hearing Officers at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) and the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA).
Chris's work for Wal-Mart provided him a tremendous amount of trial experience and a unique insight into how multi-billion dollar companies defend Workers' Compensation claims. He now uses that experience and insight to help his clients recover the absolute maximum amount of benefits to which they are entitled under Minnesota's Workers' Compensation laws.
Chris was recognized in 2004 as the first recipient of the Fifth Judicial District's Pro Bono Attorney of the Year Award, honoring his work providing legal assistance to the indigent. He is an active member of the St. Peter Catholic Church.

Worker comp case
I got hurt on the job and worker's comp wanted to quit paying me because of their independent ME exam. Chris helped me get them to continue to pay me and my medical bills. He then helped get me a settlement out of the insurance company that helped tie us over until my normal retirement date.
