Chris Mattei has been called upon to handle some of the highest profile trials in the nation over the past decade. Described by one New York Times reporter as an “incredible powerhouse lawyer,” Chris’s practice is devoted to protecting individuals and the public from corporate and institutional abuse.
Chris currently represents the Sandy Hook families against right wing internet performer, Alex Jones. For years, Jones claimed that the Sandy Hook shooting did not happen and that the surviving family members were actors. Chris served as a lead trial counsel in this historic case that focused international attention on the years of abuse suffered by the families and the corrosive threat of social media fueled disinformation. The trial resulted in a $1.4 billion verdict against Jones and Infowars, the largest defamation verdict in American history.
Chris previously served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice.
