Christopher "Chris" G. Lyons is Of Counsel with Mase Seitz Briggs. Chris practices both civil and criminal litigation with a focus on serious personal injury, white collar criminal, and sports and entertainment law. With over 30 years of trial experience in both federal and state courts, as well as various administrative bodies around the world, Chris is a dynamic litigator who has successfully tried over 100 jury trials to verdict.

A native of Boston, Chris moved to Miami in 1993 to serve as a prosecutor. Prior to joining Mase in 2014, Chris had his own boutique litigation firm where he also represented police officers in administrative hearings for the Fraternal Order of Police. Chris is known for his representation of high-profile clients including athletes, entertainers, and executives. However, he takes pride in providing the same level of advocacy and attention to each client for their case.

Chris has lived in South Florida for over three decades and splits his time between our Miami and Boca Raton offices to better serve the needs of our clients in the Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
