Posted by Joshua | February 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Saved me from suspension

About 12 years ago we used Louis for our home closing. He's very knowledgeable and is professional. I do a lot of driving and over the years have accumulated points on my record. When I needed, I hired an acquaintance to represent me in court. After a while, I figured I could get the same results a...nd not have to pay the attorney's fee. This past year I got a 2 speeding tickets. It would have put me at 10 points! My attorney worked out a deal with the prosecutor for 2 points. The judge rejected it and said that I was a reckless driver...My attorney said I should take the defensive driving course online. I did. Then the letter of suspension came. What the Heck!! I took the class! My attorney looked it up. I had gotten a ticket earlier and didn't take care of it. My wife just paid the summons online and I got no reduction in points and now I was over the limit. I'm screwed now! I asked for a hearing and didn't know what to do. I asked for a hearing. The very night before I was to go to DMV, I called Louis B. and explained what was going on. He said he would meet me at 8:30 the next morning at court. I was 5 minutes late, called ahead and he said not to worry, made me feel at ease and told me to drive safely. When I got there, he said I really need to work on my driving. A licence is privilege and a necessity. But a privilege. He told me that there is a special class that they offer - in very extreme cases. But they don't just give it to everyone. I said I already took the class online and got the point reduction. He said this is different. We met with the lady at the hearing. She was tough and blasted me about how I'm an unsafe driver and that driving is a privilege... (sounds familiar?) I was "invited" to sign up for the course. If I didn't take it my licence would be suspended. I took the course, it took 4 hours, was with a live person, and it was much more powerful than the boring online course. Today, I'm not suspended and will make every honest effort to drive safely... because I need to be able to drive... but it's only a privilege. Thank you Louis , Josh

4 point traffic ticket

Mr. Chapman was the best lawyer for the best price. He came fully prepared and I walked away with a zero-point ticket. He was a pleasure to work with and exuded confidence, intelligence and honesty.

One of the best

Lou helped my son with his traffic violation points. He negotiated and was able to remove the points with practically no cost at all. We only had to pay the court fees. I would say he's one of the best if not the best.

Highly Recommendable Person

I was helped by Louis B Chapman for a traffic ticket I've received. He did a terrific job by eliminating 4 point in which were intended for the violation I committed. He also was able to drop all cost beside the court fee. I only paid $180 I’ll highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Excellent Real Estate Attorney Who Stood With Us Through Thick and Thin

My wife and I had great difficulty selling our home in a down market. Louis Chapman was an excellent attorney during this challenging time. Through thick and thin, Louis was always focused in securing the best interest of his clients – ourselves. When an outright sale fell through, Louis was able ...to secure immediate compensation from the intended buyers. Shortly thereafter, Louis secured for us a professional and aggressive short sale facilitator who helped secure an eventual sale expeditiously. This without any additional costs to ourselves and we were able to close very quickly through utilizing an excellent real estate agent – Louis had additionally recommended.
