Christopher L. Strohbehn is a partner at GRGB Law in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Chris enjoys the challenge of helping clients through difficult situations. His calm demeanor is often a great comfort for clients in their times of uncertainty.
Chris has developed a diverse litigation practice that focuses on personal injury, insurance coverage litigation, civil litigation, and commercial property tax appeals. His strategic vision, affability, and attention to detail allow him to thrive in handling complex cases that often overlap into multiple practice areas and venues.
Chris's practice extends throughout the state of Wisconsin. He represents clients across the spectrum – from individuals, to small businesses, to large national corporations. No matter the client, he brings the same sense of calm and pragmatism in an effort to solve their problem and achieve the best resolution.
Chris is also experienced in litigating in appellate courts across the state, including serving as lead counsel in a number of cases that were litigated at the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Previously, Christopher was President of the Milwaukee Young Lawyer's Association and was a member of the Board for six years. He also sat for a number of years as an alternate on the City of Milwaukee's Administrative Review and Appeals Board and was President of a large downtown Condominium Association. Currently, he is a board member of the Wisconsin Association for Justice.
When he is not helping find solutions for his clients, Chris enjoys spending time with his family, working in the yard and grilling outside. As a native of Rock Island, Illinois, he enjoys cheering on the Cubs and Bears, as well as his alma mater, the University of Illinois.
