Practice Areas: Education
I am the mother of three incredible children who challenge me daily and provide numerous opportunities for me to practice being the best version of myself.. Two of mu children experience disabilities and challenges. One has diagnoses of Angelman Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder and another works on managing ADHD symptoms.. When I am not practicing law, I spend as much time as possible outdoors adventuring with my children and husband, attending church, running, biking, skiing, hiking, SUPing, playing tennis, golfing (mediocre at best) and fly fishing.. I have a calm, but self-assured demeanor along with a quick-wit, strategic mindset coupled with a tremendous amount of patience.. My passion for my family, friends, and clients is evident in all that I do.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury
Chris brought her mid-west ways with her to Oregon when she moved to Portland in 1989 after graduating from Valparaiso School of Law in northwest Indiana. An Illinois native ready for a new adventure, she began her career as a trial attorney while working for a sole practitioner who holds a state contract to defend persons charged with misdemeanor cases in East Multnomah County. Chris was tasked with managing the entire caseload and represented over 1000 clients in her four years as a defense attorney. That experience taught her not only basic trial skills but also how to effectively manage the demanding particulars of trial work and case management.. In 1995 Chris began a 20-year tenure as a prosecutor with the Multnomah County District Attorneys Office. During that time Chris prosecuted hundreds of cases ranging from DUII to Capital Murder (and everything in between). She has gone to trial and verdict on "too many cases to count" on crimes of domestic violence, robbery, burglary, arson, assault, gang-related matters, official misconduct, rape, kidnapping, sexual abuse, sodomy, manslaughter, crimes against the elderly, crimes against children, murder and aggravated murder. She was also a respected member of the East County Major Crime Team for over a decade and worked closely with a multi-agency group of law enforcement officers and detectives on cases, including officer-involved shootings. Chris was known in law enforcement circles as a "go-to" deputy district attorney. And for good reason: she always took the time to listen to the concerns of those investigating crime as well as the victims affected by crime and act in their best interest.. As a prosecutor, Chris worked extensively with victims and their families. It was through these interactions that Chris gained insight into understanding how trauma affects everyone differently and how best to approach survivors' concerns while guiding them through the legal process.. In 2015 Chris branched out from the confines of a government office and opened her own shop. At Mascal Law Office, she continues to work with people that need help navigating the legal process. Whether they be persons injured in an automobile accident, vulnerable victims of crime, those wronged by the thoughtless acts of others or anyone who needs a "go-to" attorney, Chris has the background, case experience and trial hours to do the job and do it well.

Chris represents injured workers in all aspects of Oregon Workers’ Compensation claims. Because of the nature and complexity of this area of law, she limits her practice to only workers’ compensation to increase her mastery of this highly regulated and increasingly complicated system. While all attorneys specializing in Workers’ Compensation on behalf of injured workers must have a high volume of clients to be sustainable, her practice model is to maximize value in claims, employ staff to ensure our clients’ needs are met, and have a case load that allows for the highest quality representation.. Chris grew up in Kansas and graduated from the University of Kansas in 1985. She has worked in a variety of jobs including waitress, hummingbird-feeder assembler(!), and grocery clerk. In 1992, Chris graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law, where she helped found the Oregon Law Students’ Public Interest Fund, was a member of the Law Review, and earned the American Jurisprudence Award in Trial Practice. Before joining the firm in 2008, she was a staff attorney for the Workers’ Compensation Board for two years.. She chose to work at Thomas, Coon, Newton & Frost, because of its tradition of excellent legal work and community activism. Here she has been able to bring her strong commitment to the rights of working people and her passion for justice together to represent injured workers in Oregon’s Workers’ Compensation system.. Chris is a strong advocate and fighter for her clients but also strives to make the system fairer for all injured workers. She is active with OTLA’s Workers’ Compensation policy group, an executive committee member of the Workers’ Compensation section of the Oregon State Bar, and a Board member of NW Workers Justice Project. Chris is honored to have received the 2014 Doug Swanson Outstanding Workers’ Compensation Attorney Award from the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
