Sivertson, Marit M.

Christopher is an associate attorney with GWC, where he started as a law clerk in 2001.  Christopher graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Medicine.  He went on to receive his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2003.  He is a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice and the Illinois State Bar Association.  Christopher is licensed to practice throughout Illinois and before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Since joining GWC, Christopher has represented numerous clients who have sustained serious injuries, including fractures, ligament tears, spinal injuries and paralysis. He has also represented families for wrongful death lawsuits.  He has successfully participated in trials involving medical malpractice, auto accidents, construction negligence, product liability, slip and falls, and other incidents of serious injury or death.  He has also handled many cases involving instances of nursing home abuse and neglect for families who have had loved ones who were seriously injured or who have died as a result of negligent nursing home care.

Christopher finds that his Pre-Med training is invaluable in his work as a personal injury attorney and regularly assists other attorneys in the firm with their complicated medical cases.

Christopher continuously strives to obtain just compensation for his clients who have been injured or killed by the careless and negligent actions of others.  He has consistently followed through on that commitment, obtaining significant monetary settlements and awards on behalf of his clients.

Outside of GWC, Christopher spends his time with his wife and two young children and continues to play and coach ice hockey.
