Christopher Shakib

Attorney

Chris Shakib has dedicated his career to standing up for victims and holding wrongdoers accountable. Beginning his journey as a state prosecutor from 1992 to 1996, Chris fought for justice against violent criminals who inflicted life-long harm on their victims. His passion for protecting those who’ve been wronged and ensuring accountability has been the foundation of his work ever since.

As an attorney at Terrell Hogan Law, Chris channels that same drive into the civil justice system, representing individuals and families harmed by negligence and misconduct.

Advocating for Victims of Negligence and Misconduct

Chris focuses his practice on cases involving:

  • Medical Malpractice: Representing victims of substandard care, including women harmed by an alleged breast implant warranty scheme.
  • Defective Drugs and Medical Devices: Holding manufacturers accountable when their products fail to meet safety standards.
  • Pharmacy Negligence: Advocating for those harmed by errors that should never happen.
  • Defective Consumer Products: Ensuring justice for victims of dangerous and poorly designed products.
  • Commercial Truck and Motor Vehicle Accidents: Fighting for those injured or killed in preventable crashes.

Chris is driven by the belief that companies and practitioners should never put profits over people. He tirelessly works to stop those who knowingly provide products or services that hurt consumers or fail to meet industry standards.

A Passion for Justice and Accountability

Throughout his career, Chris has been guided by a singular mission: to give a voice to those who have been harmed and to hold wrongdoers accountable. His work is not just about securing compensation—it’s about preventing future harm and creating safer practices in industries that directly affect consumers.

Life Beyond the Courtroom

Chris’s commitment to justice is matched by his dedication to his family. He is married to Jaime Lee Shakib and is a proud father to three children: Ashley, Evan, and Stella-Jaymes.

Outside of his legal practice, Chris is an avid surfer, runner, and amateur boxer. He finds solace and inspiration in the mountains of Western North Carolina, which he considers his second home.
