Chad J. Bradford is a Partner at Christie Bell & Marshall, where he focuses his practice on representing individuals in medical malpractice cases. Chad brings a unique and powerful perspective to his clients—having spent more than 20 years defending healthcare providers, he understands exactly how these cases are evaluated, defended, and resolved.

Before joining the firm, Chad represented physicians, nurses, hospitals, dentists, and other healthcare professionals in complex medical malpractice claims. His experience spans all phases of litigation, including jury trials, depositions, oral arguments, and administrative licensing proceedings.
