Lance Chavin

For those of you out there even considering another attorney who have DCF/child and family matters or any other legal matters for that matter...STOP right there. I have used Attorney Chavin for several small legal matters but recently as of Sept. 2014 asked Attorney Chavin to assist me in a very hig...h profile DCF SEXUAL abuse accusation case regarding my 5 year old daughter in which 1 of my maternal family members named 5 of my significant other's family members of sexual assualt on my 5 year old...which resulted in removal of the father of my now 1 year old son from the home; zero contact of my 5 year old daughter and local police; district attorney; and DCF involvement. Terrifying to say the least....also extremely difficult for a now all of a sudden single mother who previously relied on her childcare from her partner and his family whom i now was allowed ZERO contact. Attorney Chavin from the start was easy to speak to NON JUDGEMENTAL took phone calls 24-7 from me day and night.... no phone call or question went unanswered. went to court for a restraining order which was granted immediately with his assistance. recommended I appeal all allegations brought fourth to dcf of sexual abuse and neglect of my children. An appeal hearing was granted within WEEKS WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS!!!! at the appeal hearing attorney Chavin kept me calm; reasurred me......talked me through all the steps...... at the end of the appeal hearing i was told by the hearing officer i would not hear about the result for MONTHS TO YEARS....... THANKS TO ATTORNEY CHAVIN'S EXPERTISE AND COMMITMENT TO THE CASE; AND SAVVY WITS IN THE APPEAL HEARING.....DELIBERATION IN MY FAVOR...... UNSUPPORT OF ALL ALLEGATIONS BOTH ON MYSELF AND MY PARTNER OF SEXUAL ABUSE, NEGLECT AND UNKNOWN CAREGIVER WERE GRANTED AND MY CASE CLOSED WITHIN A FEW SHORT WEEKS AFTER THE HEARING. I WAS TOLD BY MANY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD that NEVER in DCF history has this ever happened!!! MY OVERALL advise to those of you experiencing any difficulty with a child family case such as dcf....choose Attorney Chavin.....LISTEN to EVERYTHING he has to say IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!!!! TRUST ME!!!!!

When Lance says he won't give up a fight until it's over he's 110% serious!! I'm currently in the midst of a second round of litigation with Lance for a family law matter and I am constantly blown away time and time again by his persistence, foresight, responsiveness, enthusiasm and hunger for learni...ng. Not only is he taking my case as seriously as though my child was his own, but he's teaching me as this goes. I don't just want it done, I want to UNDERSTAND and he can put it to you clearly. Lance is professional by every measure but no stiff, he's a real guy who can really hear you and empathize with challenges that real people face in real life. I'm not getting a a kickback for writing this, Just blessed to have made Lances acquaintance.

Attorney Chavin has always been there when I needed to have questions answered. He has helped my family overcome some very challenging issues. He is the only attorney I know that is willing to work with his clients on every level. When he talks to you, it's as if you are speaking to a friend. He ...never over states anything, and keeps his communication on a laymans level. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for an attorney, to consider Attorney Chavin. They wont be disappointed that they did.
