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.

Client Review

Chris Attig represented me in a federal employment matter that was bordering a mixed case. After the first assessment with Chris I was confident in his abilities to represent me is such a matter. He was honest and provided me after his review with several courses of action. He continued to keep me... informed at each phase and the status of the MSPB case. He made sure that I understood the process and procedures and gave me ideas of expectation. His dedication surpassed by expectations. Needless to say we won the case. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

Client Review

Chris is an honest and dedicated attorney. He represented me in a Federal employment issue and was able to save my job. He is upfront, tells it like it is and let's you decide whether to go forward or not. I tend to worry a lot about what to expect, what will be happening, what questions will be a...sked, etc. and found myself sometimes a bit frustrated when I felt my numerous questions were not being answered. However, the day before my hearing, I met with Chris, who patiently explained EVERYTHING to me from start to finish, answered every question I had, encouraged me to make my own personal statement, and did his best to reduce my anxieties as much as possible. He stayed up for hours fine tuning everything and I honestly believe that I would not have my job today if it had not been for Chris.
