Christopher J. Gorayeb brings to the firm a wealth of more than 30 years of experience working on cases involving construction accidents, negligence, malpractice, product liability, lead poisoning and car accidents.

However, he says, “when they get hurt on the job, they are unable to continue working and their plans to improve their lives fall to pieces. They are unable to get ahead, help their families or send money back home. That is why they come to us. We sit down with them and make them feel comfortable and safe.”
