Christopher J. Gorayeb graduated from Bates College. He obtained his juris doctor degree from the University of Syracuse College of Law in 1985. He was admitted into the New York State Bar in 1986 and the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York the following year. Gorayeb brings to the firm a wealth of more than 20 years of experience working on construction accident, negligence, malpractice, product liability, lead poisoning and car accident cases.

The manager of Gorayeb & Associates says that his first instinct is to help people and that this is why he studied law. He explains that the firm is working with several clients “who have been abused in their workplace.”

The lawyer said that he knows that many people come to the U.S. in search of a better life and that they start out doing manual work. However, he says, “when they get hurt on the job, they are unable to continue working and their plans to improve their lives fall to pieces. They are unable to get ahead, help their families or send money back home. That is why they come to us. We sit down with them and make them feel comfortable and safe.”
