Paralegals

Chris O’Neill

When people are injured they feel that no one understands what they are going through; they aren’t getting paid as much as they were before they were injured, they have families to support, and they feel that no one cares.

I enjoy my job because everything I do every day is to help to get injured people the benefits they are entitled to, which allows them to focus on healing.

I was born at Central Vermont Hospital in Berlin and lived in Montpelier until I was two. I’ve lived in Waterbury, Vermont, ever since. I have one brother, one half sister and many friends who have become like sisters and brothers. Family is very important to me.

I enjoy cooking, baking, photography. I love the ocean, walking on the beach, all kinds of animals big and small. I am fascinated with how things work and how things are built. I love flowers and gardening, it is miraculous how you can throw a seed in the ground and with sun and water it will grow into a beautiful flower or yummy fruits and vegetables.

I joined Biggam, Fox & Skinner in 2004 and work with the attorneys exclusively on social security disability claims. My previous employment was as a guidance counselor as well as a hospital chaplain working with patients in ICU, rehabilitation, hospice, and ER units. In the summers during college and grad school I was part of the recreational staff arranging activities for children and adults with mental, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. Given my background, it was a natural transition to join a law firm specializing in disability claims, as it allows me to continue along the lines of my past work, but from a different perspective, which I thoroughly enjoy. I like knowing I’ve had a direct hand in helping individuals and families obtain the financial and medical benefits they need during a very difficult time in their lives.

My parents are both from Vermont: my mother from Brattleboro and my father from Randolph. However I grew up near Mount Monadnock in southern New Hampshire, attended UNH and Keene State, and have since lived in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, and currently Northfield, VT. I have three children who are older and living on their own. I enjoy reading novels, political blogs, ‘simple living’ blogs, and gardening magazines. My hobbies include writing fiction, family genealogy research, making household items and furniture from reclaimed materials, tending to my perennial gardens, and hiking in the woods.
