Background

About Christopher Guetti

Chris has been known for breaking down and addressing complex matters for his clients. Chris has been a dedicated litigator, representing clients in various legal matters, including insurance defense, plaintiff’s personal injury, products liability, and criminal defense matters, as well as real estate. A large portion of his practice also focuses on toxic torts, including lead and chemicals, for both defendants and persons who have been exposed to such substances, and he has litigated at both the trial and appellate levels. Chris has applied his litigation skills to the firm’s active matrimonial and family practice. He has also completed collaborative practice and mediation training, in order to offer clients a more diverse range of options in solving what can be the most difficult and emotional issue in their lives. Collaborative practice has quickly become recognized for its value and efficiency, on both an emotional and financial level. It combines the potential use of experts with the dedication and commitment of the parties to come to a more personal and healthy resolution of disputes. Surprisingly, this can all be accomplished at a reduced cost to the potential litigants. Chris has taken cases to trial in the personal injury, matrimonial and family law fields. He is admitted to practice in all New York State Courts as well as the federal United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of New York. Chris is currently President of the Defense Research Institute. He is also one of the few male members of the Collaborative Divorce Association of the Capital District (CDACD) and a founding member of Adirondack Alternative Dispute Solutions (AADS), organizations committed, as he is, to providing an alternative to litigation for divorcing couples. Chris has lectured for both the New York State Bar Association and National Business Institute on various personal injury topics.
