About Christopher
Christopher Odhner built his academic foundation at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a B.S. in Marketing in 2001. He returned to the classroom several years later and completed his legal studies at Widener University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2009. Those years framed a transition from business-oriented study to the practice of law.
He is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and he holds admission to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. That combination allows him to operate in both state and federal forums across the region. His credentials reflect a regional practice that spans the two states in which he is authorized to appear.
After finishing law school, he entered the practice of law and began handling matters subject to the rules and procedures of the state and federal courts where he is admitted. Over time he has worked on litigation that required appearances in different courtrooms and involved a range of procedural tasks, from drafting pleadings to arguing motions. He has experience guiding matters from initial dispute through various stages of adjudication.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He tends to work through problems step by step and places emphasis on clear legal reasoning. In courtroom settings he seeks arguments grounded in precedent and statutory text. Outside the courtroom he spends time preparing the factual record and the legal positions that underpin a case.
His background in marketing informs the way he communicates with clients and juries. It also informs how he frames factual narratives for judges and opposing counsel. That mix of business education and legal training shapes the way he assesses disputes and crafts strategies.
He maintains an active practice centered on matters brought in New Jersey and Pennsylvania courts, and he continues to appear in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. His current practice focuses on representing clients in state and federal proceedings within those jurisdictions.
