Christopher ‘The Bulldog’ Podoll
Facing his own personal challenges with a complex legal system ignited a passion in attorney Podoll to pursue an education in law and a desire to help others in a greater capacity.
Attorney Podoll decided to become an attorney after he experienced firsthand the unfair bias that parents often encounter when seeking their own rights. Without the means to hire a lawyer, he began to research and understand the complexities of the legal system as he fought for the welfare of his own daughter.
Achieving his law degree and numerous awards, attorney Podoll began specializing in Family Law and later decided to open his own practice to better serve his clients.
In addition to great achievements in his professional career, Christopher remarried in 2016 and now enjoys spending days boating on the Lakeshore with his wife and 14-year-old son. Attorney Podoll’s daughter is now happily married and attends college in Florida.
