Geniunely compassionate and caring

My family and Iwere lucky enough to find this wonderful attorney/person. He was compassionate and caring from the first day we spoke. Mr. Chester promised my family results and he delivered, in a timely matter. No matter how many questions we had for him, he was always willing to listen and answe...r our questions in a language we understood, in a patient matter. We will not think twice of recommending Mr. Chester. Thank you for helping us in our desperate time.

Challenging the Insurance Company Mandates

My first contact with Mr. Chester was as the insurance company's defense attorney against litigation started by a disgruntled property buyer. The seemingly simple defense quickly escalated into a convoluted legal nightmare when the insurance company turned against their policyholder (me) and institu...ted a claim for damages. Fortunately, Mr. Chester had previously planned to start his own practice and without him my exposure would have been tens of thousands of dollars. Although not entirely escaping the jaws of the insurance company, Mr. Chester limited my damage to a manageable amount. Rarely do you encounter an attorney with such expertise as well as the ability to explore a solution not clearly defined. He will offer the research and allow the client to make the decision. A truly experienced and capable individual. He has contacted me after hours and on weekends if necessary (an exceptional and valuable resource) swing he is going to earn his fee (which, by all other standards are most reasonable). You never have the feeling you are supporting his lifestyle as with all professionally licensed individuals. A pleasant personality, coupled with a fair and reasonable approach to your case is the reason he gets the highest marks in my book.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
