I HIGHLY recommend this attorney!

Greetings, I subscribe to the Hyatt Legal Plan through my employer and it came time for me to find an attorney to handle the selling of my townhome. I Googled "Attorney Reviews" and didn't find much in the way of reviews. I did find one review, which happened to be on AVVO. The woman who posted... the review had nothing but great things to say about Louis B. Chapman, and like me, she had the Hyatt Legal Plan. I found her review to be very thorough so I figured I'd call and talk to Mr. Chapman. I left a message with his secretary and a day later he reached out to me. I was impressed to hear that he had just gotten back from an overseas trip that day, yet still had the time to talk to me. Mr. Chapman was very professional, knowledgeable and was understanding of my concerns and issues regarding the selling of my home. He would answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner which was impressive. This is my second time using the Hyatt Legal Plan. The first time was with the purchase of my townhome almost 6 years ago and the attorney I had then caused me nothing but stress and anxiety. (I will not name names but his office was in Florham Park, NJ). I have to say that I wish I had Mr. Chapman as my attorney back then! I was impressed with his performance and I would definitely recommend Louis B. Chapman to anyone! John B.

Good guy -- knows his stuff and gets it done.

Louis came highly recommended by my real estate agent, and I couldn't have been more pleased. In all honesty, this was my first closing and it was seamlessly handled from start to finish without much effort at all on my part. Louis took care of all of the details, start to finish. He was able to resp...ond to every single email and phone call within minutes, answered my questions without hesitation and somehow kept me laughing and smiling along the way. I would return for his services in a heartbeat.

Quick Turn Around

Very responsive to initial questions regarding estate planning. Met with Mr. Chapman within a few weeks of requesting. All paperwork was ready for our meeting and I received the final documents within a few days.

Louis Chapman - Dealing with the Purchase of the home [difficult seller]

Mr. Chapman was a breeze to get a hold off and respond, communicate/clear things out. He was reachable almost 24X7 with very quick response to emails [event when sent over the weekend at very late hours]. He consistently kept up in the loop of things/changes and promptly communicated the same by ap...propriate channels. The transaction was completed on-time, with no issues, and the process was very smooth. Mr. Chapman also participates with the Hyatt Legal Insurance Plan which I have purchased at work and his services were fully covered with the plan. There were no hidden charges, fees/etc. I highly recommend Mr. Chapman for your legal needs.

Inspires Confidence and Peace of Mind. Effective. Efficient.

My husband and I were assured we had the right real estate attorney when we met Lou Chapman. We are baby-boomers who wanted a smooth and professional transaction as we sold our home in New Jersey to downsize for retirement. Aware of the emotional cost of leaving our home of 27 years as well as the f...inancial consequences, Mr. Chapman expedited the process, always available, always kind. Is there a rating scale for gratitude? If so, we acknowledge being filled with appreciation for the knowledge, the rapport, and the respect Mr. Chapman extends to his clients. He gets the job done. He makes it happen. He patiently guided us step-by-step through the process to the scheduled closing, meeting our needs as sellers and sensitive to the major life transition behind the legal transaction. We are extremely grateful. It is an honor to recommend him wholeheartedly.
