Background

Christopher T. Karounos, Esq. is a Senior Trial Attorney at Brandon J. Broderick, Attorney At Law, and a Certified Civil Trial Attorney — one of less than 3% of attorneys certified as such by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. He leads the firm's Business & Commercial Litigation Group and concentrates his practice on representing individuals injured by negligence. Karounos's combined personal injury settlement packages and jury verdicts have resulted in over $100 million for his clients. He has handled cases arising from assaults, motor vehicle crashes, slip-trip-and-fall injuries, watercraft collisions, trucking incidents, construction defects, motorcycle accidents, and worksite injuries. He has also tried high-stakes business disputes in state and federal courts, including business formation matters, contract negotiations, and multimillion-dollar claims. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Rutgers School of Law-Newark and his Bachelor of Arts in Biology/Biomedical Science from Rutgers College, New Brunswick. He is admitted to the New Jersey State Bar, the Federal District of New Jersey, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
