Christopher J. Van Blargan grew up in Northeastern Ohio and graduated from John Carroll University in 1990. He began his legal career in 1993 as a full-time law clerk with Allen Schulman & Associates, a highly respected firm in Canton, Ohio, while attending The University of Akron School of Law. After his admission to the Ohio Bar in 1996, Chris stayed on with the firm, representing injured clients in a wide range of civil litigation including medical malpractice, employer intentional tort, product liability, truck and automobile liability, and insurance coverage cases.

Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company.. Based upon his experience in insurance coverage litigation, Chris was offered and accepted a position with a Cleveland defense firm in 2003. In addition to representing insurers and insureds in coverage disputes under commercial automobile, commercial general liability, errors and omissions, and directors and officers policies, Chris continued representing clients in medical malpractice and personal injury cases.
