Subrogation Approach

“Many subrogation cases are puzzles where we may not be able to put the pieces together…and may not even have all the pieces in the first place. A good subrogation attorney can succeed through diligence, attention to detail, and flexible, innovative thinking, even when the claim or the facts are less than ideal.”

-Christopher R. Schaedig

On The Personal Side

Birth City:

Flint, Michigan.

Family:

I’m married to Becca, the love of my life and my partner in trying to remain sane while raising our five children: Ben, Alex, Nora, Max, and Violet.

Interests:

In my spare time…I don’t have spare time. Didn’t you see the sentence above about the five kids? Theoretically, though, traveling is my favorite pastime. I’m a fan of interesting bourbons and craft beers and a diehard music snob.

You’d Never Guess:

Before law school, I worked as a freelance writer, D.J., bartender, private investigator, and record-store manager (not at the same time, though that would have been something). And practicing law is still my favorite job ever.
