About Christopher J.
Christopher J. Fein is an attorney who practices in Massachusetts and appears before the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He heads Fein Law Office, P.C., where he represents clients in both trial and appellate proceedings. He works in courtrooms and at counsel table, and he files briefs in federal appellate dockets.
Fein is admitted to the bar in Massachusetts and is authorized to practice before the 1st Circuit. Those admissions shape the contours of his work. They allow him to move between state trial courts, federal district courts and the appellate level when a client’s matter requires it.
He began building his practice around litigation. Over the years he has handled contested matters that required written advocacy and courtroom presentation. He has taken cases through motions practice, trial preparation and appeals. His work involves drafting pleadings, arguing procedural questions and preparing appellate briefs.
His practice emphasizes litigation and appellate procedure rather than transactional work. He spends significant time on legal research and written argument. That can mean long stretches of concentrated drafting followed by brisk oral argument windows in court. He treats each stage of a case as part of a sequence: fact development, legal framing, then briefing and, where necessary, oral advocacy.
Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical. He is direct in court and detailed on paper. He tends to focus on the record and on legal standards that appellate courts apply. When a matter moves to the First Circuit, he shifts from trial tactics to appellate strategy. That requires careful calibration of issues and precise statement of the applicable law.
Fein runs a small office that handles matters across multiple court levels. At Fein Law Office, P.C. he manages client work and oversees filings and deadlines. He continues to argue in Massachusetts courts and to file briefs and present arguments in the First Circuit when appeals arise. His current practice centers on litigation and appellate work for clients in state and federal courts.
