Christopher B. Begin

Associate

Christopher focuses his practice on health care law and earned his J.D. from Capital University Law School. His experience includes extensive participation with a number of law school groups and organizations, including Military Law Society president, three years of brief writing and advocacy involvement in Moot Court, two years in his school’s Law Review, and student coordinator for the John E. Sullivan Lecture. Outside of the classroom, Christopher honed his skills of solving complex legal issues through his internship experience with the federal attorney’s office.

Before entering law school, Christopher served on active duty in the United States Army, which included three overseas tours and a combat tour with the 3rd Infantry Division. While working at Dinsmore, Christopher transitioned his military specialty to the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, and he continues his service as a Judge Advocate in the United States Army Reserve. Judge Advocates take on a variety of legal duties, including military prosecutions and defense, legal assistance to service members and their dependents, and advice to commanders on the law of armed conflict. The unique skills Christopher learned throughout his military enable him to analyze complex legal problems and act decisively on his clients’ behalf, balancing their legal and practical needs.
