Attorney Chris Spain

A native of upstate New York, Chris moved to California to attend Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where he pursued his Bachelor of Business Administration degree while also playing college sports.

After graduation, Chris went to work in the entertainment industry, serving as a media buyer and production assistant.

During law school, Chris clerked for the nationally recognized litigation firm of Girardi & Keese, focusing on high-profile pharmaceutical cases involving people hurt or killed while taking Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex and Avandia.

After graduation, Chris began working for a law firm that focused on pharmaceutical litigation, playing a key role in securing a settlement of the Avandia litigation.
