Employer Representation

Since 1995, Chris Scherer has assisted employers with a full range of proactive measures to avoid legal issues and, when necessary, with a vigorous defense in formal legal proceedings. In representing clients, Chris applies Benjamin Franklin’s maxim “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” aspiring to manifest Abraham Lincoln’s approach to the practice of law.
