About Christopher

Biography

Attig | Steel represents veterans appealing decisions of the Board of Veterans Appeals to the Court of Appeals of Veterans Claims, and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

Chris's experience with county, state and federal governments taught him to navigate the tangled webs of government bureaucracy and inefficiency on behalf of his clients.

As an attorney, Chris served as a Senior Trial Attorney with the Office of Chief Counsel for the I.R.S., where he practiced federal employment law and practiced as an MSPB attorney.

He was selected to serve as a student law-clerk to Chief Justice Thomas R. Phillips of the Texas Supreme Court in 2002, and also served as a law clerk with the Harris County Attorney's Office in Houston from 2000-2001.

Chris served as a Captain in the United States Army from 1993-2004, at posts across the United States and the Republic of South Korea.

He has been awarded the United States Army Commendation Medal, graduated Airborne School, attended Ranger school, and prior to leaving active duty, was invited to attend Special Forces qualification training.

Vets wife.

I fought the VA system for 10 years. When Ron filed for his benefits he didn't doubt the VA, he had no idea the ride I was in for after his death. He lived long enough to receive two expedited denials. Before he died during his last rounds of chemo, he would ask me if we could afford an ice cream con...e from McDonalds. This man whom i loved with all my heart knew i counted change for his ice cream. As all who watch their loved one give up their fight. This was my hell. I continued what he had started. Fighting the VA. In desperation I called Chris Attic law firm. I've had lawyers who actually laughed and said lots of luck with your case. No one can win with the VA. Chris and Jennifer were my angels, they weren't on my Shoulder, they took my hand and led the way. They won our case. To Chris, this is a personal journey,..he wants justice to be fair... Thank you so much,,,,all at Attig Steel. Jennifer i love your heart...... He wants

Great Attorney

Chris took my VA claim in April 2019 I got my c- file August 2019, had my claim awarded in my favor December 2019. This atty did more in 8 months than any VSO did in the last 7 years. I have been trying to get my claim approved since 1983. I recommend Chris Attig Atty at law to all Veterans that are ...tired of waiting.

Great experience

Like many people before me, as soon as I found out I would need legal representation for my case with the VA, I dreaded the idea of dealing with a lawyer. I had never had a satisfying interaction with a lawyer in my life until I spoke with Chris. Over the course of a year he represented me with class... and dignity. Neither he or Jennifer Steel ever made feel like a case or a number. They were always friendly and attentive. I always got my questions answered in a timely manner. I can’t say enough great things about them and the work that they do. We did end up with the result that we wanted, but, even if we hadn’t, I would still recommend them.

TRUST him! He is the one you want!

He fights his all for you! We called Chris and sent him information about our case. He called us back and asked us some questions and then took our case. TRUST him ! He knows what to do. YES, he won the case for us. He is easy to talk to and has a desire to win for the client. He is resourcef...ul, knowledgeable about the law, and when it comes time for court he is the most prepared. He does not miss deadlines. He is amazing! I am still pursuing additional legal avenues with him on related matters to my case. JK
