About Chris Morton
Chris Morton
Chris Morton is a Tempe native who returned to the Valley after earning his J.D. from Pennsylvania State Dickinson Law in State College, Pennsylvania. He completed his undergraduate studies at Northern Arizona University, where he earned a double bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Criminology. Before attending law school, Chris built a successful career in sales – an experience that sharpened his negotiation skills and strengthened his ability to advocate effectively on behalf of his clients.
Chris’s dedication to personal injury law is rooted in his own life experience. His mother was seriously injured in a car accident, resulting in a lifelong disability, and he witnessed firsthand how dehumanizing and overwhelming the healthcare and insurance systems can be for injury victims. This experience instilled in him a deep sense of empathy and lasting commitment to helping others during their most difficult time.
Outside of work, Chris is an avid distance runner who regularly competes in half marathons and marathons. He enjoys studying history and archaeology, and is a lifelong fan of the horror genre. He also loves hiking, traveling, and watching reality TV shows with his girlfriend, Leah.
