Chris S. Wunder is an experienced litigator whose practice focuses on professional liability defense (with an emphasis on legal malpractice defense), employment defense, civil rights defense, commercial litigation, and construction/mechanics lien litigation.
Chris has obtained numerous favorable results for his clients in state and federal courts as well as proceedings before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR), and disciplinary proceedings before the Illinois Attorney Registration &amp; Disciplinary Commission (ARDC).
