Today's attorney spotlight is all about Chris Amero!
After having spent most of 2004 and part of 2005 tromping around al-Anbar Province in Western Iraq, Chris decided that he had, had enough and was honorably discharged from the military in the summer of 2005 and, in the fall, began attending the University of North Florida, in Jacksonville, Florida, which is where he met his beautiful wife Staci, who is also an armed services veteran. Soon after graduation, he followed Staci here to her hometown of Springfield, Illinois, so that she could attend graduate school at Southern Illinois University. Not to be outdone, Chris decided to follow suit by attending Southern Illinois University's School of Law.
When Chris was finally sworn in as an attorney, he was immediately hired-on as an assistant public defender with the Macon County, Illinois Public Defender's Office. He began his legal career defending individuals charged with misdemeanor, traffic and DUI offenses, as well as representing mothers who had been indicated by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Within six months, however, he was promoted and given a felony caseload, which is what he continued to do until his family relocated to Colorado in early 2015. While in Colorado, in between all of the mountain biking, camping, skiing and hiking, he worked as a legal analyst for the Colorado Department of State. Go Broncos. Then, in early 2017, he made a decision, as a family, to return to Central Illinois in order to be closer to family, which turned out to be the right decision. It has landed Chris where he is today and couldn't be happier. Chris absolutely loves what he does and would be honored to have the opportunity to guide you through whatever legal issues you are currently facing.
