About Chad
Biography
Admitted to Bar in 2003. Practiced insurance law in NYC for 5 years prior to moving to upstate NY where I have my own private practice in Elmira, NY. I try and keep my rates reasonable so the average person can afford legal help.
The legal assistance you deserve at an affordable price. I am working remotely and still able to take calls and receive voicemails for new and existing clients.
