In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin sits down with Chris Markos, a civil and human rights attorney and partner at Williams Cedar in Philadelphia. Chris shares his path to the law, his unwavering focus on justice, and how he’s made a name for himself by taking on some of the most difficult and unconventional legal cases—particularly in civil rights, environmental, and First Amendment disputes.
Chris opens up about his approach to client advocacy, especially when legal solutions require creativity and empathy more than just financial negotiation. From helping protestors navigate litigation to crafting settlements that align with clients’ values, Chris proves that the best outcomes aren’t always about winning in court—they’re about understanding people.
