In 1990, after having practiced law in the public sector for a number of years, Christopher E. Mast, relocated his practice to the City of Naples, Florida, initially as a partner in the Law Offices of Craig, Ryan, Mast & King; then in early 1995 opening his own law office as a sole practitioner. Christopher began his career as a lawyer following graduation from the Detroit College of Law in 1982, with an appointment to the Labor Group within the City of Detroit Law Department handling labor arbitrations, unfair labor practice charges, employment discrimination cases and veteran preference matters; during the period of his appointment as an Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Detroit Law Department, Christopher was fortunate to have been assigned a number of appellate matters concerning Veterans Preference Rights in Employment and Municipal Employee Civil Service Rights which appellate decisions remain as definitional case law within the State of Michigan. Since his relocation to the City of Naples and entering private practice, Christopher has focused his practice on the individual and small business owner; whether addressing injuries or death arising out of an automobile or truck accident, commercial litigation concerning property and insurance rights or helping a family following the death of a loved one.
