DMV Issue
Chad was very understanding and assisted me with the NYS DMV for an issue with my CDL. Had it not been for him, I could have lost my job because I need my CDL for it. Thank you so much!

Divorce & Family Court
Chad was excellent with my divorce and helping to explain everything along the way. After my divorce Chad helped me to obtain sole custody of my children and get granted what was best for them as well. I highly recommend Chad to anyone in divorce or family court.

Fast Speeding Ticket Reduction
I got a speeding ticket for going 20mph over the speed limit. Mr. Hammond took care of my ticket quickly and efficiently. He got it reduced to a $200 fine with no points on my license. Thank you.
