Keles, Elif

Christopher Strohbehn joined the firm in 2002. He is known to work tirelessly as he helps clients through difficult situations.  His even-tempered demeanor is of inestimable comfort in times of great uncertainty.

He has developed a diverse litigation practice that focuses on personal injury, commercial, civil, criminal and insurance coverage litigation.  His strategic vision, affability and attention to detail allow him thrive in handling these complex cases that often overlap into multiple practice areas and venues.

Chris takes a pragmatic approach in each case with an eye on achieving the final goals of his client.  He is open and forthright, even when he is giving news they do not want to hear and he believes the only way to communicate within the profession and with clients is through honesty and candor.  To that end, Chris approaches each client as an individual.  In his words “clients are more than just a number, I think it is crucial to have this mindset as an attorney; to see the real people involved in each case we work with.” 

Previously, Christopher was President of the Milwaukee Young Lawyer's Association and was a member of the MYLA Board for six years.  Today he remains active in its affairs.  He also sits as an alternate on the City of Milwaukee's Administrative Review and Appeals Board and is a member of the Wisconsin Association for Justice.

When he is not helping find solutions for his clients, Chris serves as President on the board of his downtown Milwaukee Condominium.  He also enjoys cheering on the various sports teams from his home state of Illinois.
