A Client-Focused Approach to Personal Injury Law
After graduating law school, M. Christopher Schehr began his legal career at a large firm where he witnessed firsthand how clients were routinely treated like case numbers rather than human beings. In many instances he had little to no direct contact with the clients he represented — something he found to be a serious injustice.
That experience drove him to found Schehr Law PLLC in 2020 with one clear mission: to give every injured client the individualized attention and aggressive representation they deserve. At Schehr Law PLLC, Mr. Schehr personally handles every case, answers his own phone, and maintains direct communication with every client from the first consultation through resolution.
When you hire Schehr Law PLLC you are not handed off to a paralegal or associate — you work directly with M. Christopher Schehr every step of the way.
