He strives to ensure each client has a personalized experience to ensure that the stress and uncertainty of the legal process are minimized as much as possible. Whether in court or through collaborative settlement processes, Chris believes that providing clarity and understanding to each client brings a level of relief that aids in the resolution of cases for all clients. When Chris is not assisting clients, he spends as much time as possible with his wife and daughter exploring all that Utah has to offer. Chris and his family enjoy camping, hiking, boating, and exploring throughout the state. They also take every opportunity to sightsee and explore new locations worldwide.

I attended college at the University of Utah, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree in English and French. I then attended law school at the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law, graduating in the top third of class with my juris doctorate in 2014. I took and passed the Utah State Bar Exam later that summer, and shortly thereafter I went into private practice, working primarily as family/domestic law litigator and criminal defense attorney. After nearly nine years in family law and criminal defense, I decided to move into practice areas other than family/domestic law. As a result, in November 2023, I was fortunate enough to join the highly esteemed and successful law firm of Goebel Anderson PC, where I am practicing general commercial litigation.
