About Christopher

Christopher Gansen grew up in a one-square mile town in Eastern Iowa. A good student and talented distance runner, he was fortunate to attend Yale University before returning to the University of Iowa to complete law school. He has been in practice for thirteen years and assisted in or tried numerous jury and bench trials with a number of well-known Southern California law firms prior to opening his own practice.

“The best part about being a lawyer is the people it brings into your life. For me, meeting new people, learning about their experiences and helping them solve their problems is what makes this profession worthwhile.”

If you have case that’s worth a million, there are lots of lawyers that will settle it for pennies on the dollar. Not Mr. Gansen. From the moment I stepped into his office, I knew we’d get the result we were looking for. The other side (insurance carrier) fought hard but my injuries (broken bones, brain injury) required the full million to take care of me. Hire him. He will do a fantastic job and leave no stone unturned.

My case is in the beginning stages but I feel very fortunate to have Mr. Gansen representing me. I've had attorneys represent me in my business and I talked to some through this site and from my own research. I chose him because of his confidence and empathy. I wanted someone who would fight for me and didn't make me defend myself about my personal injury. When that happens, you not only don't feel validated, you feel violated (again). I'm very satisfied and calm in my life knowing he is handling the awful people who injured me and are trying not to take responsibility. His professionalism and class will always be appreciated. I will be back to update this... it's still early so it may be 2016 or 2017 before I add the results.

I felt confident in Mr. Gansen from first contact. He spoke with confidence and communicated clearly in plain understandable language either orally or in written form. He made no promises of any outcome and that was appreciated more than anything. I will highly recommend Mr. Gansen to any person seeking the services his firm provides.

I called Mr Gansen regarding my son's motorcycle accident. He called me back the same day. Then emailed me with questions and suggestions. He's very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him if you want a lawyer who actually cares about you, not just their share of the fee.

I,am a very satisfied client of Chris Ganson. He is the most tenacious lawyer that i have ever had the pleasure to work with. He has one goal driving him, and that's protecting the rights of his clients. He doesn't leave any stone unturned and digs deep deep to find all the facts regarding the case at hand. He protected my rights to the fullest and got me a good settlement. He satisfied me to the fullest. You see after the accident i retained a lawyer who turned out to be lazy, unresourceful and just plain incompetent, so my friend suggested changing the lawyer to Chris Ganson and what a difference that made. The difference was night and day, and i found out that the previous lawyer had done nothing during the one and a half year during which i had hired him. Anyway Chris came to may rescue and did a stellar job. he is very honest, factual, and direct. He sent me to a new doctor who had a battery of tests done on me which the previous lawyer had not done. They did an advanced MRI which showed a 2 mm deviation from normal which is going to cause pain for the rest of my life. The first lawyer had only done an x-ray of my neck and it did not show anything. whereas theMRI done by Chris Ganson's doctor showed a misaligment of more than 2 mm which chris used masterfully in his presentation to the jury in court. The insurance of the person who hit me from behind played hard ball and let the matter go to court, and this opend up an opportumity for chris to do his magic. It was a performance worth seeing. He masterfully presented all the facts step by step and cross examind the doctors involved. He proved to the jury without a shadow of a doubt that the person who hit me from behind was indeed responsible for injuring me for life. My neck pain will hunt me for life unfortunately but at least i got compensated somewhat which the first lawyer was incapable of achiveing. i want you the reader to know that i am writing this as a wholehearted opinion of me regarding Chris Ganson who truly impressed me with his expertise, intelligence and all around capability in his craft and as a person.

well while it is early in our case i want to say this mr gansen has given us a lot of hope even knowing that there are no gaurente he have given us the feeling that win or loose that some one has cared enough about the suffering me my wife and family have gone through to fight for us when we needed it the most this personal injury has all but destroyed the quality of life for our family my wife being injured and un able to care for our younger children has prevented me from even trying to work more to cover our growing bills and debts and this firm truly seems to move forward with concern and care for more than just the money involved he is in this to help people people like us that may not be ok without this so needed help so yes i would recomend that if you want the facts and honesty this is the firm you would want to hire

My car insurance company abandoned me because I had limited coverage. I hired Chris to help recoup my vehicle loss and some small medical expenses. Chris kept me prepared and informed for all phases of the case. It can be stressful entering a deposition or mediation. Thanks to him, I knew what to expect, which led to the settlement that I thought I deserved.
