    /24-7PressRelease/ - MADISON, WI - April 10, 2007 - In practice since 1981, Attorney Van Wagner (Chris) began developing his instincts through the lessons learned while growing up one of eleven children born to a middle class Irish Catholic New Jersey couple. He earned his law degree from Cornell Law School (New Jersey), where he served as the Law Review Editor. Upon graduation, he clerked for a federal district court judge (Honorable Dick Debevoise, D.N.J., 1981-1982).
