About Christopher C. Grady
Christopher C. Grady is an attorney at Aldrich Goldstein, having joined the firm in July 2010. With over 15 years of experience at the firm, he has established himself as a dedicated advocate for building owners in Oregon and Washington whose properties have been damaged due to faulty construction, design, or materials. Chris earned his Juris Doctor with honors from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2005, where he distinguished himself as Articles Editor of the Lewis and Clark Law Review, demonstrating his commitment to legal scholarship and excellence from the beginning of his career.
Chris's practice focuses on achieving successful settlements through careful case preparation and strategic negotiation, though he is equally skilled as a dedicated trial attorney when litigation becomes necessary. His comprehensive approach to construction defect cases combines thorough investigation, expert consultation, and aggressive advocacy to ensure his clients receive full compensation for their damages. He understands the complexities of construction projects and the various ways that faulty workmanship, design flaws, or defective materials can impact property owners both financially and practically.
In addition to representing building owners, Chris also provides counsel to construction contractors in payment disputes and contract drafting matters. This dual perspective gives him unique insights into the construction industry from multiple viewpoints, allowing him to anticipate issues and craft solutions that protect his clients' interests while maintaining productive business relationships. His experience in contract negotiations and drafting helps prevent disputes before they arise, while his litigation skills ensure effective representation when conflicts cannot be avoided.
Prior to joining Aldrich Goldstein, Chris spent four years as a litigator representing contractors and insurance companies, providing him with valuable experience and insights into how these entities approach construction disputes. This background gives him a strategic advantage in understanding the other side's perspective and developing more effective advocacy strategies for his current clients.
Recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2010 to 2014, Chris has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in his field from early in his career.
