Chris spent the early part of his career making a name for himself in mass torts and class action lawsuits. He and other Hare Wynn lawyers spent years representing American corn farmers who suffered financial losses due to a seed company’s negligence. The team’s hard work ultimately led to a $1.51 billion global settlement benefiting corn farmers nationwide.
As his career progressed, Chris began to devote more of his time to representing clients in single-event cases, from the victims of eighteen-wheeler truck accidents to the family of a couple who died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
His ability to manage complex legal issues with clarity and precision has earned him a reputation as a meticulous and driven litigator, as well as a legal scholar. A number of his cases before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals have led to precedent-setting court decisions.
Chris’ dedication to his clients goes beyond just legal prowess. He understands the emotional toll that serious injury or financial loss can take on individuals and families. In each of his cases, he takes the time to communicate extensively with clients throughout the litigation process, helping them understand the system and navigate a legal journey that can feel overwhelming.
Outside the office, Chris enjoys traveling, staying active, and spending quality time with his fiancée. He’s also deeply involved in the legal community. He regularly publishes articles in the Alabama Association for Justice Journal, is a member of the Alabama State Bar Leadership Forum Class 19 (2025), and serves as one of the three Alabama lawyers on the Eleventh Circuit’s Lawyers Advisory Committee.
