Real Estate Miracle

I am new to NJ. I was told by everyone that closing on a house was a minimum of 45 days and most likely 60 days. I closed on my new home 23 days from the accepted offer and one of those days was Christmas. He answered every question and was communicating with me at night and on the weekends. Prof...essional all the way.

Real estate closing

Can't say enough about the job Louis did for me during my real estate closing. Not only was he able to negotiate a large sellers credit for me, he was always available to speak to me personally when I needed throughout the entire process. His knowledge, expertise, and professionalism made the every...thing great. Thanks again.

Posted by Jith | June 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Stand-Up Lawyer

My wife and I had the wonderful pleasure of being represented by Mr. Chapman for a traffic violation in the Municipality of Teaneck. My wife had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chapman first and he made quite the impression on her and I am sure it was vice versa. After two failed attempts at trying to fi...ght a wrongfully issued ticket, we knew we had to see legal representation...queue Mr. Louis Chapman. He knew exactly how to handle our case and knew how we wanted to proceed (NOT GUILTY). He set our minds at ease and was able to have us feel comfortable with how to approach dealing with the prosecutor. Even though at one point the odds looked like they were against us and we knew we were innocent, Mr. Chapman knew to hold ground to our innocence. Mr.Chapman successfully assisted us in obtaining a not guilty win. We are truly thankful we were able to meet and have Mr. Louis Chapman as our Legal Representative. In fact we are using him once again for another estate matter as we are so happy with his legal expertise. Besides, he is one funny guy and its nice to meet a lawyer with a sense of humor! Great Guy!

Posted by Dennis Viera | February 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Louis Chapman delivered to the fullest extent and then some.

I received a very troubling speeding ticket in early January 2016. From a legal standpoint, I was at risk of losing my license and potentially seeing outrageously inflated insurance premiums for the next 5 years. I met with Mr. Chapman after finding him on this website. He was very friendly, respo...nsive and patient with me. I had many questions as I was skeptical of him or anyone being able to deliver on something like this. He made my court experience a complete breeze. Showed up, on time, assured me everything would be ok (I was super nervous.) and met with the prosecutor immediately to negotiate my case. Without specifics, now the ticket is wholly a non-concern and my insurance is completely unaffected moving forward. I incurred a small fee from the court, and further more, Mr. Chapman spoke on my behalf to the judge, which led him to reduce the fee by another 50%. Mr. Chapman met all expectations set forth and delivered more than I could ever ask for. He will be my attorney for life. Thanks Uncle Lou.

Great attorney

Louis helped us close on our home in New Jersey. We found Louis through our company plan. We were in a rush because or NY attorney could not practice in NJ. I left a message early in the morning and within 24 hours, he had everything moving like clockwork. He was great with the seller because the...y were representing themselves and were not versed in selling real estate. He kept everything moving which was important because our bid for the house was based on closing quickly. He kept us informed, and was great to have in our corner.
