Christopher J. McCurdy
Partner
At Wallace Saunders, our specialist in workers’ compensation is Christopher J. McCurdy. A partner for more than a decade, Chris’s passion for the clients he represents runs deep. So deep in fact, that he devotes himself entirely to matters of workers’ compensation, including high risk, high exposure claims involving asbestosis and mesothelioma. Professionals in other industries are taking note of his proficiency, and he’s now a highly sought-after speaker at continuing education seminars on matters of workers’ compensation and insurance claims. He is licensed to practice law in Kansas and Missouri.
