Excellent Choice

Crighton was always very responsive during stressful times in my custody dispute. On top of giving excellent legal advice, he would always advise me personally regarding the well-being of my child when he or I felt she needed it. He's a very compassionate attorney in cases that can be brutal and I wo...uld absolutely recommend him for any family dispute.

crook/ salesmne

I was going through a very nasty divorce. My wife was keeping my children from me. My children are my world. I reached out to Mr. Chase, as Mr. Brown was recommneded to me, but when I first talked to Mr. Brown, he asked how much do you make, how much do you have to put down, and then transferred me t...o Mr. Chase after my answers. I talked to Creighton and he seemed like he wanted to help. I then exchanged many emails with him over the next few weeks, until Mr. Chase saidm I need to make a payment if I wanted to retain him as alawyer, I completly understood, and I set up a time to go visit Mr. Chase for what was said to be a consultation. After meeting with him in his office for 45 minutes he told me he had anpther appointment coming in, and reminded me to make a payment today. I made a $1500 dollar payment a hour later to the website he directed me to, That sane evening, within 4-5 hours he TEXT me saying he wouldn't be taking my case, giving no reason. When I asked about getting my momey back, he told me that my $1500 dollars was for his (45 minute) consultation. I was a hard working father with a good job, but he didn't think I could afford him, ad when he made that decision he took my money, and I never heard from hi again.

No one will work harder for you

I hired Mr.Chase to represent me in multiple cases and charges. He is hard working, knowledgable, and just VERY good at his job. I really appreciated him being straight forwth with me about my options and possible outcomes of my trials. He didn't sugar coat anything for me, but he did work extremely ...hard and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Knowledgeable and competent

Crighton is not only a great attorney, but a great person as well. Made an extremely difficult situation tolerable, and manageable. Also, he took a lot of the worry and anxiety out of the sutuation by knowing his knowledge and competence would handle it.

Outstanding work and service

Crighton took great care of me during a rough time for me. The most important thing is that he was extraordinarily responsive and made me feel like I was his most important client, even though that was likely far from the case.
