About Christopher Lynett
Christopher P. Lynett is a trial attorney in the firm’s Pennsylvania office. Chris joined Keches Law Group, P.C. in 2023 after several years working for AM150 firm in Philadelphia. In that role he assisted major corporations in complex civil and criminal litigation, often facing off against the Department of Justice, other government agencies, and large law firms. Before that, Chris served as a prosecutor with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office for half a decade.
At the DA’s office, he was a frontline prosecutor who tried cases ranging from drug dealing and theft to aggravated assault and attempted murder. The office’s leadership also tapped Chris to serve as a supervisor in the Municipal Court unit. In that capacity, he trained and led a unit of 40 newly minted prosecutors. Chris attended Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Massachusetts where he earned his law degree with highest honors.
While attending law school, he was a member of Suffolk’s nationally recognized Trial Team, served as chief competition director of the Moot Court Honor Board, and wrote several articles for the Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy. Chris continues his academic pursuits as an adjunct professor at Villanova University’s Charles Widger School of Law where he coaches their national trial team and leads their internal mock trial competition. Immediately after law school, Chris clerked for the Hon. Malachy E. Mannion, U.S. District Judge, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He then spent a year with the Hon. Thomas I. Vanaskie (Ret.), on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, which is one level below the United States Supreme Court.
These experiences gave Chris unique insight into judicial decision-making at both the trial and appellate levels, a skill he continues to leverage on behalf of his clients. Chris lives in Elkins Park with his wife, two children, and his Bernese Mountain dog, Quincy. When not advocating for his clients, he enjoys reading, exercising, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
He is a lifelong Eagles fan.

After winning a $26.6 million jury verdict for a union mason who fell through defective scaffolding on the Longfellow Bridge, Andrew Abraham of Keches Law Group returned to court and proved that Liberty Mutual's insurers willfully refused to investigate or settle a clear liability case, prompting a judge to double the compensatory judgment to over $91 million under Chapter 93A and 176D.
A Middlesex County jury awarded $26.6 million to union mason John Rooney, Jr. after he fell through a two-foot scaffold gap during the Longfellow Bridge rehabilitation and suffered seven spinal operations and permanent disability, with pre-judgment interest bringing the total compensatory judgment to roughly $45.5 million.
A Hampden County jury awarded $9.5 million to the adult daughters of Zoe Rosenthal, a 52-year-old Holyoke teacher fatally struck in a crosswalk by a visually impaired driver in 2017, in what attorneys described as a record non-economic wrongful-death verdict with adult heirs in Western Massachusetts.
