A Unique Background and Perspective on Effective Lawyering:
I am Christopher C. Carr, a Bryn Mawr, PA born, Chester County and Philadelphia Area, Pennsylvania attorney with more than 25 years of varied legal and business experience. In addition to being extremely versatile and skilled in many areas of the law, I look at legal matters pragmatically with a view to bringing forth creative legal solutions. My focus is in Partnering with my clients no matter what their problem whether it may be a divorce, a complex business matter or a bankruptcy to craft practical solutions that meet their goals in the most cost-effective way possible.
My Personal Motto is: "to do well by doing good" TM which in itself says a lot about my unique attitude toward the practice of law. Once upon a time, when you went to a Lawyer it was much like going to the Doctor. You had a problem and they could fix it! Both were valued professionals who gave of themselves, often well beyond the call of duty because that's just how much they cared. Well, my Dad was a prominent physician in our town and I watched him treating sick people on our street (often for free) and that's the ethos I absorbed. He was first and foremost a healer. Like him, I care and I fix problems!
Unlike so many others in my profession, I take a comprehensive and humanistic view of legal matters. I know from long negotiating experience that a "win win" (where both parties 
walk away with something of value) often is the most cost effective and the most efficient route to a solution. The real trick is to try and figure out what the other side really wants and needs (their so called "minimum acceptable position") and then, armed with that knowledge (often really not much more than an informed guess), drive to maximise my own client's benefit.
Previously I was Corporate Counsel for a Software Developer, negotiating complex multimillion dollar software licenses with financial institutions worldwide. But in 1999, I made the decision to leave the corporate world and take my talents solo, focusing upon providing legal assistance for individuals, families and businesses in Chester County and throughout the Philadelphia area who require expert and yet compassionate assistance with the legal matters that impact their lives, families, financial affairs, employment and businesses.
I am a Debt Relief Attorney, with experience in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, Mortgage Modification, Debt Settlement, Fair Debt Collection & Debtors Rights, & Credit Repair. I also work in Small Business, IP and Family Law. To see more about what I can do for you in any of these areas please visit my Sitemap.
Should you hire me to assist you with your legal problem, whatever it might be, you will find me to be practical, knowledgeable, dedicated and tireless and most of all highly creative and dogged in the pursuit of justice for my clients.
