About Christopher Estes

In 1998, Chris began his legal career defending insurance companies, hospitals, nursing homes, trucking companies and large corporations. For over sixteen years, Chris developed first-hand knowledge of how these entities operate. In 2014, Chris made a life-changing career decision to no longer represent insurance companies and large corporations and to focus all his time, resources and energy on solely representing people and families who have been injured, harmed, or wronged. In 2018, Chris accepted an appointment and was sworn in as a Judge Pro Tempore (Temporary Judge) for the Probate Court of Mobile County.

From 2018 to 2023, Chris managed dockets and presided over 500 cases as a part-time judge in Mobile County, Alabama. Chris was raised in a blue-collar neighborhood off Dauphin Island Parkway (DIP) in the southern part of Mobile County. Chris graduated from Spring Hill College (cum laude) and received his law degree from The University of Alabama School of Law (cum laude). While in law school, Chris was an advocate on the National Trial Advocacy Competition Team and received the George P. Taylor Outstanding Advocacy Award.
