Chris is a personal injury attorney in Boston. By any "normal" standard, he should've ended up with an average to below-average life. None of us choose the family and environment in which we were born, but far too many believe that their lives are somehow limited due to the circumstances of their early life. Chris took many of the lessons of his early upbringing and turned them into power when, during COVID, nobody was driving cars – a tough circumstance for a personal injury law firm. Chris and his firm are a powerhouse in a very competitive market area. He described in this interview what has made the firm successful (hint: great people) in his efforts to ensure that he always has a "deep bench" for the firm.
