Practice Areas
Christopher Stetler is a highly skilled trial attorney and investigator. Prior to returning to Katten, he spent 11 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, most recently as a Deputy Chief of the General Crimes Section. As a prosecutor, Chris led a number of high-profile investigations and earned respect from prosecutors and defense attorneys alike for being a hard-working attorney with exceptional judgment. That experience and reputation offers a significant benefit to clients.
Chris focuses on results. Having supervised literally hundreds of government investigations, he understands how law enforcement pursues white collar matters and uses those insights to advocate for his clients at all stages of a case, especially before the government decides whether or not to bring charges. And where the government nonetheless proceeds, Chris relies on his deep experience in trying complex white collar cases to identify and develop the facts that are truly critical to winning at trial.
