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.

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.

Chad Hammond contributes to child abuse.
