About Christopher
Christopher Theisen earned a B.S. in Business from Colorado State University before completing his J.D. at DePaul University. Those two degrees set a practical foundation: business training followed by law school in Chicago. He entered the legal profession equipped to handle the give-and-take of contested cases.
He became a partner at Theisen & Roche, LTD. in 1999 and has practiced in Illinois since. That long tenure at a single firm marks his professional home for decades. His work has kept him in courtrooms and conference rooms across counties in the state.
Trial practice and dispute resolution have been central to his career. He holds licenses to serve as an arbitrator in Cook and DuPage Counties. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, affiliations that align him with other litigators who regularly try cases in state and federal courts. Those memberships suggest steady involvement in trial advocacy and related skills.
He maintains affiliations at the county and state level as well. He is a member of the DuPage County Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association. Those groups provide the local and statewide professional networks that many trial lawyers rely on for continuing legal education, peer review, and procedural updates. His role as a licensed arbitrator indicates work in alternate dispute resolution in addition to courtroom litigation.
Colleagues and clients see him largely through the lens of his role at the firm. As partner, he handles matters that require courtroom experience and settlement negotiation. He has balanced the demands of trial preparation and arbitration proceedings while coordinating with other attorneys at his firm.
Outside of court, his education in business informs how he approaches case strategy and client counseling. That background can be useful on disputes that cross into commercial issues or where financial detail matters. His professional memberships and arbitrator appointments keep him engaged with both litigation practice and the procedures that govern dispute resolution.
He continues to practice at Theisen & Roche, LTD., where he manages litigation and arbitration matters in Illinois. He currently represents clients in civil litigation matters across Illinois and serves as a licensed arbitrator in Cook and DuPage Counties.
