"My name is Steve and I work as a firefighter. I went to Chris after a drunk driver hit me. We always take care of others during this type of incident so I didn't really expect there to be many issues. Well no the case. Medical bills started to roll in and deductibles weren't met so it started to get frustrating. One call to Chris and he took care of everything. No more calls or arguments with providers. Chris took action and I didn't have to make any more calls or worry about who was paying what and when. I want to thank Chris for taking the stress out of a bad situation and making it more than manageable."

"I was a firefighter filing for duty disability and reached out to Chris MacGillis due to his good reputation representing fire and police unions. His extensive knowledge in working with firefighter union contracts proved to be valuable in my better than desired outcome. Chris had a detailed outline on how we were going to approach my case and constantly reassured me through every step. Chris and his staff worked hard to keep my case moving forward in a timely manner. Chris's representation was exceptional. Thank you to Chris and his staff."

"Chris became counsel for the WLEA while we were mired in contract negotiations with the state. He came prepared and was familiar with our issues on day one. Chris was organized and methodical. I firmly believe that he reset the table and moved the talks in our direction. I have also seen Chris argue discipline cases. He brought the same skill to bear in that arena as he did for our contract negotiations. I have been in LE for over 20 years and he is one of the best litigators I have seen practice law. Chris has also represented our members in issues relating to duty disability claims and has even represented our members in civil injury cases. I make this sound like Chris is a one man show. He is not. His office is staffed with multiple attorneys that I have the same confidence in. I cannot give higher praise to Chris MacGillis as our attorney."

"Chris is an active supporter of the Wisconsin Injured Law Enforcement Officers Resource Council and came highly recommended. I was working a vehicle crash on Interstate 41 as a Trooper for the Wisconsin State Patrol during a winter storm (December 4, 2016) when an individual failed to drive with due regard for weather losing control and totaled my cruiser with me inside. Chris was able to personally handle my injury claim and navigate through the State of Wisconsin laws (state employee worker compensation laws) that are stacked in the favor of the State. I was very pleased with the resolution of my case. I can not thank Chris and his staff enough..."

"I am a retired Law Enforcement officer and I hired Attorney Chris MacGillis late 2015 to work on my duty disability case. Never did I imagine how complex this case became. Chris is extremely knowledgeable in the law, and worked tirelessly on my case. He always responded back, answering my many questions and listened to my endless rant. Chris ALWAYS had my back and truly NEVER gave up even when here were many times I wanted to. He truly cares. With much knowledge and perseverance over the last 4 years we WON. My husband and I don't have enough words to express how thankful we are to Chris, his team, and especially his paralegal, Virginia. I wouldn't recommend anyone but Christopher MacGillis to represent you. You will not be disappointed!"

"While working for a law enforcement agency, i was conducting a traffic stop when an intoxicated drive struck my squad car, injuring my back. The striking driver had no insurance. Attorney MacGillis and his team, sat down with me and explained that we would have to file a civil law suit against my own insurance under the uninsured motorist policy. After retaining Attorney MacGillis, he and his team of lawyers took care of everything. I was kept informed at all times and any questions I had, they were answered very quickly Attorney MacGillis presented my case well, he knew the laws, and argued my case very well before the judge.
His dedication to my case paid off, for we settled the case for a fair amount of money. I believe if not for his hard work and dedication, the case would have possibly had a negative outcome. I would highly recommend Christopher MacGillis and his associates."

"I was a Police officer for a major city when I was involved in a traumatic accident. The accident disabled me to the point that I would never be able to work in law enforcement again. In a rush I turned to a law firm recommend by a friend (that was a big mistake). From the start I didn't feel that I was recieving the personalized needs/ knowledge needed for my case. I was expected to do a lot of the work during a stressful time of dealing with surgeries, rehabilitation and work buaracracy. Frustrated and tired I left that firm. Then I found MacGillis. From the start Chris MacGillis ensured me he would personally put all his effort into my case. Chris had the knowledge and tenacity to fight the city and award me a disability retirement that was deserved. When I told Chris the other law firm told me to much time had passed for any type of lawsuit Chris got to work. Not only did Chris get me a very large insurance settlement he got me large settlements with the city and workers compensation. Chris always kept me in the loop during every step of the process and I can only speak high praises for Chris and his staff."

"I was a law enforcement officer for 18 years when I suffered a significant knee injury on the job injury. I thought I could handle it on my own. It seemed cut and dry, until the injury morphed into a life altering injury. I was referred to Chris MacGillis by another copper. In our initial meeting, I felt as though he set my “cop sense” at ease. He did a fantastic job of managing my duty disability case. He was effective and efficient. He was very generous with his billing time. He even called me on Christmas day to respond to my questions. I could not believe that he brought my case to a successful resolution using only the initial retainer. My personal observation was that Chris has a great legal mind, no doubt enhanced by his quality education and extensive experience. He is a down to earth, likable guy, but I don’t think I would want to face him on a cross examination. I highly recommend Chris to represent anyone in a duty disability case."

"I hired Attorney Christopher MacGillis through FOP to represent me. The City I worked for had a complaint against me with no basis and no merit. Attorney MacGillis represented me very well. He met with me beforehand, went over all the facts of the case and was well prepared to defend me. I found him to be very professional, informative and knowledgable throughout the process. The City dropped the complaint and cleared me of any wrongdoing. Attorney MacGillis was awesome and I highly recommend him!"

"I hired Chris for my duty disability application. He was thorough in explaining the steps to me as they happened as well as explaining what our next step was during the process. He and his team answered all questions I had and were very professional. With their expertise, I was able to get duty disability."

- Matthew

"I contacted Chris regarding Duty Disability as I had almost no knowledge regarding the process etc. Chris was very knowledgeable in every step of the process. He was very informative during the process and keeping up to date with everything going on. Chris definitely cares about his clients and is very easy to talk to about any questions you have at anytime. He responds to emails and phone calls promptly every time. I would recommend Chris to anyone. He exceeds expectations without a question."
