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.

Excellent Lawyer

I was a first time home buyer and Louis acted as my lawyer. He took care of any issues that came up in the deal in an efficient and effective manner. He always responded to my phone calls and my emails quickly and was available when I needed him. Louis is a true professional with a lot of experience ...I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. He made the legal aspects of purchasing a home stress free and easy. I know exactly who I am going to contact when I purchase my next home Louis Chapman and you should as well if you want to receive great service.

Excellent Negotiator

Louis Chapman represented was our real estate laywer and he did a great job negotiating with the buyers to get us to a closing as quickly as possible. Would definitely work with him again.

Super Traffic Law Attorney!

Coming from the background part time working for a family law firm, I highly recommend Louis to anyone who's needed in the traffic law field. Got rid of all my speeding points which we can't do it all by ourselves (maybe still have 2 points left if representing by ourselves)

Great job on challenging closing

I worked with Louis to close the purchase my first home in New Jersey. The transaction was particularly challenging because it was a Bank owned property and they wanted to close as soon as possible. My mortgage company was extremely slow in processing my mortgage, partly due to the fact that I am not... a US native. Louis helped me work with the bank and get them to accept the changes in the timeline that we needed without any penalties. The actual closing appointment was very smooth and Louis was well prepared with all the documents, and the numbers were correct. I heard horror stories from friends who stayed for hours at the closing attorney's office due to mistakes found in the documents on the day of. I was so happy to have gone in there and 1h later come out with the keys to my new house. I would definitely recommend his services.
