Christian Connolly
I got into law to help my fellow neighbors. I strive to let my clients know that they are not alone when facing their unique and challenging circumstances. I gain great satisfaction when I can contribute my experience to their situation and guide them to a place where they are better off than when our relationship started.
More About Christian Connolly
Christian joined Grimes Teich Anderson to help people across Western North Carolina navigate difficult personal injury and Social Security Disability claims. He first came to Asheville in 1999 to attend Warren Wilson College, later earning his law degree from Roger Williams University School of Law.
Before entering the legal field, Christian worked as a carpenter in the Swannanoa Valley, an experience that shaped his passion for serving people whose futures depend on fair treatment from insurance companies and government agencies. He began his legal career in immigration law and later served as an Asylum Officer with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, protecting the rights of individuals fleeing violence and persecution.
Christian brings that same commitment to justice to injury victims and disabled claimants at Grimes Teich Anderson. He is known for explaining complex legal issues in straightforward terms and helping clients feel supported and informed at every stage of their case.
He lives in Mars Hill with his family and spends his free time hiking, biking, kayaking, and motorcycling throughout the Southern Appalachians.
