Christopher Markos has been associated with Williams Cedar since its inception in 2017 and before that, worked for five years with co-founding partner Jerry Williams.
Since his graduation from Rutgers Law School, he has established a successful legal career fighting for the personal and Constitutional rights of litigants in the state and federal courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where he has achieved several significant settlements and favorable verdicts. He regularly speaks to lawyers, law students and members of the public on a variety of topics including civil rights litigation, oral advocacy and “know-your-rights” training.
Since 2020, he has served as the Chair or Co-Chair of the Civil Rights Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association, and sits on the PBA’s advisory committee for the Philadelphia Citizen’s Police Oversight Commission. He has organized programming on police misconduct litigation and gun safety, and has helped develop policy positions of the Bar Association on racial justice, reproductive and transgender rights.
In 2021 and 2022, the lawyer rating service Super Lawyers named Mr. Markos a “Rising Star”, a designation bestowed only on 2.5% of Pennsylvania lawyers with his years of service.
