Chris practices exclusively in the area of Georgia personal injury law. He represents people that have been harmed through the wrongful behavior or others. Chris graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Foreign Affairs in 1993 and obtained his Juris Doctorate from Mercer University in 1997. He spent 10 years defending insurance companies while working for Barrickman, Allred and Young, Dennis Corry Porter & Smith and as in house counsel for Liberty Mutual Insurance. He left the world of insurance defense and now represents Georgians against major insurance corporations.

He has an intimate working knowledge of the strategies and tactics that will maximize his client’s ability to obtain just compensation for the harm done to them. In addition to being an accomplished trial lawyer, Chris is also a registered mediator in Georgia. He was recognized for his hard work by his peers when they voted him into Georgia Trend Magazine's "Legal Elite" list in 2009 and he was selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine for 2009.
