M. Christopher Schehr, Esq.

M. Christopher Schehr is a licensed attorney based in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended law school with a singular focus: to become an attorney dedicated to tipping the scales of justice in favor of his clients. After graduating, he worked at a firm specializing in Immigration Law. Realizing that clients were often treated as just another case in a large firm, he decided to open his own practice. In the large firm environment, he sometimes did not even meet or interact with his clients, which he found to be a significant injustice. Since starting his own firm, he has navigated through various challenges and has identified effective practices. He provides individualized attention to every case he takes on and personally answers client calls.

Christopher attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Political Science. He then graduated Cum Laude from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, focusing his coursework on personal injury, criminal defense, and Immigration Law. During law school, he worked in the tax clinic and business development clinic, assisting underserved community members with business establishment and tax preparation for free. He also clerked for a prominent firm, concentrating on personal injury and construction defect law.

With a commitment to excellence, Christopher ensures that his primary focus is on his clients' cases. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his dogs and wife, watching the Carolina Panthers win, and playing sports.

I attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Political Science. I then attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where I graduated Cum Laude. At Thomas Jefferson, I focused my legal course work to center around personal injury, criminal defense, and Immigration Law. While in law school, I worked in the tax clinic and business development clinic where I helped the underserved in the community with establishing their businesses and preparing their taxes for free. I then went on to clerk for a powerhouse firm where I focused on personal injury and construction defect law.

With excellence in mind, I can ensure that my primary focus will be your case. I enjoy spending time outside with my dogs and wife, watching the Carolina panthers win, and playing sports.
