Chris A. Scherer

In his experience, Chris has learned to "prepare for the worst and hope for the best," a philosophy he applies in his personal life and his profession.

Upon earning his Juris Doctorate from Tulane Law School, Chris Scherer worked for eight years as an attorney with Haynes & Boone, LLP, before opening his own private practice in 2004. He is certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Labor & Employment Law, a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys. He has served on the Boards of Directors of the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the Montessori School of San Antonio, and is currently a member of San Antonio Human Resources Management Association, North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the San Antonio Bar Association. 

Since 1995, Chris and his family have enjoyed living in San Antonio where the weather is mild and the salsa is spicy. A 4th generation Texan, Chris is an avid reader of history and mysteries and an outdoor enthusiast. In the U.S. Marine Corps, during Operation Desert Storm, then Captain Scherer led a 150-Marine unit in combat operations where he practiced the philosophy of “prepare for the worst and hope for the best.” He continues to take this approach in his personal and professional life.
