Biographical Information

Chris Elster was born in Orange, California and moved to the Saint Louis area in the early '90's. He attended The St. Louis Priory School and from there entered the six-year medical program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After spending a year there Chris found that his calling was not medicine and he moved to Mizzou. Once he completed his undergraduate degree he attended Saint Louis University School of Law, with a Dean's Scholarship and while there he won the academic excellence award for comparative law. Upon graduation Chris worked primarily in the fields of injury law and workers compensation, which allowed him to blend his medical interest and knowledge with his legal training. He worked for two firms in the four years following his graduation and in 2011 he opened The Elster Law Firm, so that he could more closely focus on the needs of his injured clients.
