His practice encompasses defending clients in premises liability matters, employment discrimination cases, workers’ compensation defense, Dram Shop Act violations, and contract disputes.

Known for his thoroughness and strategic mindset, Chip has built lasting relationships, working tirelessly to protect the interests of his clients. He operates under the philosophy that every case should be approached with the expectation of going to trial from day one, allowing him to control the litigation process and ensure that his clients’ best interests are always at the forefront.

His commitment to excellence and extensive trial experience have shaped his proactive, result-driven approach.
