Christopher J. Carlson, Esquire, a lifelong resident of New Jersey, graduated from Rutgers College of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ in 1990 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Political Science. Thereafter, in 1993 he obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the Rutgers School of Law in Camden, where he was an inaugural member of what has become the school’s Civil Practice Clinic and was the recipient of the Gleicher Award.

Mr. Carlson is Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney. This designation, held by less than 2% of New Jersey attorneys, requires a rigorous application process demonstrating trial experience, peer and judicial references, passage of a written examination, and continuing legal education. www.njbac.org.

Mr. Carlson began his career representing plaintiffs, but soon realized his primary interest was in the defense of civil claims. As such, he presently concentrates his practice primarily on the defense of personal injury claims, including catastrophic injury, tractor trailer, motor vehicle, premises, and products liability claims. He has also handled commercial, insurance coverage, fire loss, Dram Shop, subrogation and first party “Personal Injury Protection” (“PIP”) claims. Further, he has handled numerous Workers’ Compensation claims throughout the state, initially on behalf of petitioners but primarily on behalf of respondents. Mr. Carlson has periodically lectured to clients and industry organizations on topics and recent developments in case law in many of these practice areas.

Mr. Carlson is admitted to practice in New Jersey and the District of New Jersey, and has handled matters venued in all of the state’s 21 counties and each Federal vicinage. He is also admitted to practice in all Pennsylvania State Courts and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and has been admitted pro hac vice in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Born in Jersey City and raised in Central New Jersey, Mr. Carlson resides in Cherry Hill, NJ with his wife, Christy, and their children, Katie and Erik. He is active in the community, twice running for county office and volunteering his time with several community organizations.
