About Christopher
Biography
Chris Guldjian co-founded Guldjian | Fasel (now Chris and Frank Accident Attorneys) to offer bold, client-focused representation in personal injury, car accidents, and wrongful-death cases. He began his legal career clerking for the Los Angeles Superior Court in Long Beach and the Huntington Beach City Attorney’s office, then gained trial experience at leading plaintiff firms.
Believing that impartial jurors deliver true justice, Chris has guided many cases to verdict and negotiated landmark settlements worth millions. His high-profile litigation against a mental health facility garnered front-page coverage in the Orange County Register.
Chris holds a B.A. in Political Science and International Relations from Cal State Long Beach and a J.D. from Whittier Law School, graduating top of his class with a pretrial litigation award.
He has earned top ratings from Super Lawyers, Nolo, Best Lawyers, and Avvo and regularly publishes and speaks on legal topics.
An active member of OCTLA, CAOC, and CAALA, Chris is also devoted to his church and family life with his wife and three children.
