Extremely professional. Always is thinking of the best result for his clients

I have known and worked with Lou for over 35 years, having been represented by him more times than I can remember. He knows his area of expertise as well as anyone, using that knowledge to protect and achieve the goals his clients wants. Never over lawyers a deal. Will continue to use him and his team in the future.

Louis represented us when buying our house, and he was very responsive and attentive throughout. When the sellers wanted to close before the agreed upon work was done, Louis called it out and made sure we were protected. I would highly recommend Louis Chapman's services for any legal needs!

Amazing and knowledgeable attorney who made sure that I stayed within my path to making sure I was on top of what I needed to provide as evidence that would help me on my case. He was very understanding and was very well communicating back for anything and everything that would help my case. I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer

Louis represented us in our recent real estate sale. He is knowledgeable and reliable. He guided us in our entire process and gave us a peace of mind. Very responsive and answered all our questions with patience and professionalism. I feel very comfortable recommending him to my friends.

Very responsive - highly recommend

It was a great pleasure to work with Mr Chapman on our real estate purchase deal. He was very responsive when using different means of communication - phone/text/email. He made sure to explain the entire process, which was important to us as first time home buyers. I will definitely use Mr Chapman's legal services in the future.

Posted by Gregg | February 13, 2023

Thank You

Louis did a great job representing me on my recent home sale (closed 2/1/23), guiding me through the process from start to finish. He was extremely responsive and diligent. In a nutshell, he made everything very smooth and easy. This was the second time Louis represented me in a home negotiation (the first time being when I bought the same house 17 years earlier), My prior experience lead me to utilize his services again, and again, it was a pleasant experience. I recommend Louis.
