About Christopher
Chris grew up farming near Newton, Kansas. He attended the University of Kansas where he earned a degree in Business Administration. He also attended the University of Kansas School of Law where he earned his law degree. During law school, Chris taught a Business Law course at the University of Kansas School of Business.
Upon graduating from law school, Chris moved to Cottonwood Falls, Kansas where he handled a wide variety of litigation related matters. While in Cottonwood Falls, Chris tried cases for clients in criminal defense matters, divorce and child custody matters and business and real estate claims. Chris soon realized that he wanted to focus on civil litigation and products and corporate negligence claims in particular. He started this focus as a defense lawyer successfully defending trucking companies, aircraft parts and other product manufacturers and large retailers.
After several years of working on the defense side of these types of claims, Chris' career changed paths when he switched sides and began representing plaintiffs. Now, Chris specializes in representing people who were seriously injured and the families of people who were seriously injured or killed as a result of defective products or the negligence of others. Today, Chris combines his farming and mechanical background with his legal skills and successfully represents plaintiffs in a variety of cases, including the following:
Chris obtained a verdict of $2 million in a wrongful death case in which a young woman was killed when a tractor trailer operated by an employee of the defendant trucking company slammed into her car in southeast Missouri. This case was featured in a recent edition of the Missouri Lawyer's Weekly.
Chris obtained a favorable confidential settlement in a wrongful death case against a Washington D.C. dentist in which the dentist failed to administer a prophylactic antibiotic to a woman before a routine dental procedure causing her to develop bacterial endocarditis and die.
Chris is married. He and his wife have two children and they reside in Lenexa, Kansas.
