CHRISTOPHER J. GUILLORY, Attorney
On a foundation of Christ, integrity, and professionalism, Christopher J. Guillory has represented a wide variety of clients since 2004. This includes individual people, small businesses, and large corporations, both as Plaintiff and Defendant, involving an extensive range of legal issues. Over his two-plus decades of experience, Christopher has protected his clients' rights and interests in several unique scenarios, and also has recovered millions of dollars for his clients.
After working for two Fortune 500 corporations in the New Orleans area (United Healthcare and Entergy) in corporate communications involving various sensitive issues, Christopher attended law school at LSU's Paul M. Hebert Law Center, where he received both a Juris Doctor and a Bachelor of Civil Law in 2004. Christopher obtained invaluable practical experience working during his second and third years of law school as a Law Clerk for Graves Carley, a well-respected boutique Baton Rouge law firm focused on commercial litigation, construction and real estate law, personal injury matters, and insurance issues. After graduation, Christopher was hired by Graves Carley as an Associate Attorney, and also helped to start Signature Title, a real estate title company in Baton Rouge.
Christopher then moved back home to the Lake Charles area in 2005 to work as an Associate Attorney for the highly-regarded Gray Law Firm, where his practice focused on commercial contract disputes, construction law and real estate issues, oil and gas issues, personal injury premises liability insurance defense, and hurricane-related insurance matters.
In 2009, Christopher started his own law practice in Moss Bluff (just north of Lake Charles). Since then, Christopher has built and maintained a successful solo practice, predominantly on repeat business from prior clients and word-of-mouth referrals.
Christopher is licensed to practice in all state district and appellate courts of the State of Louisiana, the Supreme Court of Louisiana, the U.S. Western, Middle, and Eastern federal district courts of Louisiana, and the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, based in New Orleans.
Christopher also is qualified to resolve cases at mediation as a Mediator, having completed intensive and highly respected training through Pepperdine University's Caruso School of Law "Mediating the Litigated Case" program in 2023.
Christopher graduated from Sulphur High School in 1994 and obtained his undergraduate bachelor's degree from McNeese State University in 1998 in Mass Communication with an emphasis in Journalism. A Sulphur native who has proudly called Moss Bluff his home since 2005, Christopher's prior work experience also includes working as Sports Editor and Sports Writer for Southwest Daily News, Moss Bluff News, Westlake News, and Iowa News from 1997-1999.
