A Chapter Closed!

After sustaining severe injuries in an accident, Chris was recommended by a mutual friend. Chris visited me in the hospital and although not in the right frame of mind to pursue a lawsuit, he started doing needed investigation for me and my family. Once I began to heal and rehab, Chris and his ass...istant Aaron Sibley were very professional in eventually filing a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant. I was impressed with the compelling case that Chris presented on my behalf. As a result of the case presented by Chris, we settled out of court with the defendant. I felt the final settlement was fair and compensated me for the severe trauma that I suffered. Thanks Chris and Aaron!

Peace of Mind

I was injured in a car accident. I thought it would be a simple process and expected to heal quickly. I did not. I discovered that the legalities of the accident were complex. I needed someone with legal knowledge and talent to be on my side. I needed something more with my current condition. Chr...is Workman gave me the quality of service along with care and compassion that exceeded what I thought I would receive. I am truly grateful that he represented me. My settlement gave me what I needed and the peace of mind as a result of my car accident. Sometimes, in life we meet remarkable people who support us during difficult times. Everyone at some point needs a hero. If you feel you want an attorney that has strength and abilities to defend your rights no matter what state you are in, I would highly recommend Chris Workman. The case is closed now, but I will always refer to him as “my hero attorney”." Thank you Chris. Also, special thanks to Pam.

Chris is an awesome lawyer and a great person!

Thank you Chris for helping me win the settlement with my personal injury case! My case was very complex and Chris took my case and figured out the best approach and handled every detail with so much finesse. I am so grateful for his wisdom, his strategy and for his genuine concern for others. I hig...hly recommend Chris!!! Thank you also to Pam.

I have my life back - because of this attorneys!

I experienced a bad injury in a grocery store. My first attorney could not get the attention of the defense or come up with a way to win. I found and hired Chris. Chris came on and completely turned the case around and we were able to get a great settlement. I can only wonder what would have h...appened if I had Chris from the start. I cannot recommend Chris and his staff enough!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
