Honest and Helpful

I would like to write a message about my recent experience with Crighton Chase. Crighton was honest with me and gave me my options up front and didn’t give me any false hope. I appreciated the honesty and planning that went into my case. The outcome was what was expected and I was able to plan acc...ordingly. Thank you Crighton!

Attention to Detail, Knowledge, Preperation and Confidence

This is what you will find when you work with Mr. Chase. He goes above and beyond for his clients and knows the ropes. I have hired Mr. Chase twice, first for a shoddy mechanic and more recently for my divorce. The mechanic was defaulting on work and taking much longer than quoted (by 4 months). Mr. ...Chase reached out to the mechanic and informed him of our contract and his need to complete the work as detailed in our contract, or we would be pursuing legally. The mechanic quickly changed his tune and finished the work he was paid to do. For my divorce, Mr. Chase helped me understand my rights and guided me through the entire process. I know that divorces are never easy but he made it as pain free as possible. I know that without his extreme attention to detail, knowledge, preparation and confidence, the outcome would have been much different. Sir I thank you for your time and assistance through this difficult part of my life. Thank you again!

Highly Recommend

I found out my ex-girlfriend had filed for a protective order against me over the weekend (I hadn’t done anything to warrant that) and her court date was the day I found out. My sister found Mr Crighton on a Facebook page (a lot of people were highly recommending him) so, I contacted him immediately.... We went over everything that I knew over the phone and he met me at the courthouse that afternoon! Mr Crighton was amazing in the courtroom. My ex and I had a daughter and she was trying everything she could to get full custody of our daughter. With Mr Crighton by my side that didn’t happen, I ended up with shared custody and I am so glad I called him! He always answered my phone calls, emails and questions immediately! He made sure everything I wanted was granted and he made sure everything was completed correctly and fair! His charges were very reasonable. I highly recommend Mr Crighton and will use him again if ever needed!!

Never Gave Up

Mr. Chase is a true fighter for your rights. The state of Maryland wrongly charged me with a gun violation. The over aggressive states attorney continued to fight, even though I did not have a firearm. The end result was dismissal of charges. He never waived and continued to press forward to def...end me. His knowledge of the system and the courts in general is evident. He stays in contact with you and keeps you abreast of what is happening. He takes time to answers your questions and gives you straight forward answers. Whether a civil litigation or a criminal defense, you need to take the time to speak with him before you make a decision on representation. Top Notch!

Mr

Mr. Chase was very thorough in my consultation with him. We exchanged several emails regarding his initial inquiries about potential solutions to a particular situation with the State court. He clearly explained his fee schedule and after agreeing to his representation he kept me updated on his furth...er inquiries with the State prosecutor's office. He was able to explain and resolve the issue with the State's attorney declaring the matter "nolle prosequi" and withdrawing the case. The matter was resolved without a need for a court appearance. I was very pleased with his personal approach and his knowledge of the system as he guided me through the process. I give Mr. Chase my highest recommendation for legal help.
