Chapman provides exceptional legal services as an attorney with over 30 years experience helping people like yourself,  your family and friends, buy and sell homes, preparing their Wills and Estate Planning Documents, representing  people in traffic courts in New Jersey, and in their accident cases.

My professional memberships include the American Bar Association (1984-present), New Jersey Bar Association (1984-present), Passaic County Bar Association (1984-present). My true passion is taking pride in my practice. For over 30 years I have been due diligent with treating my customers with the care and professionalism they warrant. I take pride in returning calls and getting back to attorneys, realtors and lawyers as needed.

Selling our home

Posted by

Louis made a very stressful move from NJ to Tennessee very easily. He is straightforward and easily puts out fires. This is our second time using Louis and both times he made us feel confident with the transition. We highly recommend Louis.

Hire him, he is the best! I was under attorney review with another lawyer for several days but I couldn't even get a hold of him. I needed to be out of attorney review the following day but wasted days with another lawyer. I called Louis B. Chapman on a Friday afternoon in a panic that I was going to lose the house. No other lawyer would have been able to do what Louis did for me during this busy market. He reviewed the contract within 2 hours and communicated to the sellers so I did not lose the house. I closed on my purchase with Louis within 30 days and now he is representing me on the sale of my property. He was easily accessible and very prompt on responding emails and calls. Louis is funny and has a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed working with him.

Louis Chapman is my go to for any traffic related tickets. For starters Louis is always happy to take my call and answer any of my questions. Besides his communication he was able to deliver on getting my ticket to 0 points and a minimal payment. I appreciate his services and would certainly recommend him to anyone I know. It also goes without say he is organized and notifies you with the court dates and the details of the hearing.
