Christopher Walsh
Biography
I am a former homicide prosecutor, and Chief Assistant District Attorney, with extensive jury trial experience. I have been an attorney for 18 years. I am an accomplished trial lawyer and have a broad range of specialized experience in the field of criminal law. As a prosecutor I was assigned the most serious cases in the offices where I worked. I have tried numerous sexual assaults, gang, driving under the influence, and homicide cases. As a prosecutor, and in private practice, I handled officer involved shooting reviews and use of force cases and have developed expertise in this area. I have been recognized for my work as a trial lawyer, and prosecutor, including twice being selected as Prosecutor of the Year.
I started Walsh & Nguyen law firm, along with another former prosecutor, to provide the highest quality legal representation in personal injury cases and criminal defense. We specialize in representing victims who have been hurt by crime and get them financial justice. We also focus on representing law enforcement and good people who find themselves, on occasion, on the wrong side of the law and provide expert criminal defense. We intentionally take on a limited number of cases in order to give each client the attention their case deserves.
