About Chris

Chris's entire career has been focused on dispute resolution, primarily through trials. He has first chaired more than seventy jury trials. He has served clients in mediations and arbitration and in appellate courts. While he has spent his entire career as a member of the Wisconsin Bar, Chris has represented clients in various parts of the trial process, including trials themselves in more than forty states and in Canada and Italy.

Chris believes that a combination of seasoned trial experience across a broad variety of legal issues and in a broad variety of forums with research and presentation technology transforms litigation into trials. Making your case about facts and presentation, not about the number of lawyers thrown at a the case.
