Louis Benjamin Chapman's Reviews

Posted by Martin | August 25, 2014 | Wills & Living Wills

Highly recommended

I needed a lawyer for a will, medical proxy and POA for my best friend who was suffering from stage 4 cancer and who had put off completing these docs until it was quite late in the game (despite needing them due to the value of his assets). These docs were needed quick, and fortunately my friend was... still quite competent to understand and sign docs. I contacted Lou through a friend's referral, and not only did Lou complete the docs, he was available for all questions (we had a number of them, among them the issue of my friend being a New Jersey resident but was in a New York hospital). Lou came through competently, quickly, efficiently, and even came to the hospital for the signings , since my friend was not mobile. I high recommend Lou as a caring, ethical, knowledgeable, and reliable attorney.

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.

Outstanding Job – Refinance

Louis was our attorney during our recent refinance. He was professional and meticulous. He followed through and met all deadlines. He also organized and kept track on an enormous amount of paperwork that at times seemed overwhelming. I would highly recommend using Louis and plan to use him for our fu...ture legal work.

Dedicated Lawyer

Louis Chapman is a dedicated lawyer. He assisted me in closing a refinance I had filed last January 26, 2011. I thought I would never close my refinance, provided that we had a snow storm that night. However, Louis Chapman went out of his way just to get the closing done, even if it required him to g...o through massive traffic and hazardous weather condition, it didn’t stop him from making my closing for a refinance happen. I was so relieved when he came, as it was my last day to close my refi, else I would have to start all over again for a refinance. Thanks Louis for being committed and devoted to your clients. You are highly appreciated.

Client Review

My daughter received a speeding ticket, her first, so we all were a bit nervous and had no idea how we were going to approach this serious matter. We knew that we needed someone knowledgeable and dedicated to cases like these. It was also imperative that my daughter be able to correspond with an att...orney who she could relate to and feel comfortable with. I called Louis Chapman’s office by way of referral and boy was I ever so glad I did. First, of all I was completely satisfied with how his entire office handled the case. They apprised me of everything including written and verbal communications regarding the case in a timely fashion, everyone in the office from the secretary to the clerks were highly professional and outstanding. I personally am a worrier and just overly concerned about everything, but I will tell you that I felt very comforted and relaxed the entire time they handled the case for us. In addition, the outcome was much to our satisfaction. Attorney Chapman my daughter and I thank you immensely for the committed work and time put into her case.
