About Christopher
Biography
Chris runs the prelitigation department at Wilhite Law Firm, which means roughly 2,000 active cases report to him at once and he has made peace with that. He decides which claims settle, which ones go to litigation, and which insurance adjusters are about to have a long afternoon.
He spent sixteen years owning his own law firm, a rewarding and a great way to help those around him. After Covid, he transitioned into a general counsel role following by high end civil litigation. This all led him back to personal injury work where he can make an impact to people who have been hurt by the negligence of others.
Outside the office, Chris loves to spend time with his wife and daughter and his friends. He lives in Denver, where he is outnumbered by his own to-do list.
