Chris Saracino

Partner and Attorney at Goldblatt + Singer

A lifelong St. Louisan with deep roots in the community, Chris Saracino brings a relentless work ethic and an unwavering commitment to standing up for those who’ve been wronged. Before joining Goldblatt + Singer, Chris worked within the insurance defense world, an experience that opened his eyes to how often injured people are disadvantaged. That perspective drives his advocacy today. He treats every case as if it’s headed to trial, ensuring clients receive the thorough, strategic representation they deserve.

Chris’s passion for plaintiff work is grounded in the belief that the truth and the real impact an injury has on someone’s life should always lead the way. He connects strongly with the underdog mentality, a value shaped by his own family history. His grandfather, the Hon. Paul Simon of the Eastern District Court of Appeals, was a major influence and even swore Chris into the practice of law.

Before becoming an attorney, Chris lived another life on the ice. A standout hockey player at Christian Brothers College, he went on to play for the St. Louis Junior Blues, then at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and later in several professional leagues. He ultimately traded skates for law books, but he still plays recreationally today.

Chris lives in the South City with his wife and their four children. When he’s not in the courtroom, he’s often at a rink or a sports field cheering on his kids, enjoying time around The Hill and Francis Park, or spending summer days at the pool.

At Goldblatt + Singer, Chris is known for his meticulous preparation, straightforward communication, and dedication to amplifying his clients’ stories. He feels privileged to advocate for injured people in the community that shaped him, and he fights to ensure every client gets a fair chance against the insurance companies standing in their way.
