Outstanding Attorney

We hired Crighton based on a recommendation to handle a family/divorce matter that is extremely complicated. I can't say enough about his professionalism, his ethical approach to every single detail, and more importantly the kindness he has shown my family. While we look forward to the day that the... divorce is final and we can celebrate, his guidance has been spot on and we truly appreciate his honesty even when it wasn't necessarily what we "wanted" to hear. I have the utmost respect for him and can't thank him enough for all that he has done to guide us through this entire situation. There are many attorneys from which to choose in the Annapolis area, but he is truly among the best!

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!

48 year old traffic conviction

Crighton had to research the case because the county and state records back that far are located in different areas and it is extremely difficult to retrieve details and case numbers. Crighton researched my case including archived newspaper articles. His diligence in this matter allowed him to disc...over a mistake made by my original attorney. Crighton researched the law and developed a strategy which he was very successful with in court. His courtroom manner was excellent.

Honest and Personable Attorney

I needed an attorney to assist me with a complicated criminal and divorce matter involving domestic violence. Mr. Chase's background as a State's Attorney proved to be invaluable in his ability to assess the situation and advise accordingly. His sensibility and compassion was evident from our first m...eeting. A direct, honest and personable nature made working through the minutiae less of a grind. He was accommodating and accessible throughout the duration of the case. I'd recommend him to anyone in need of representation in Annapolis and the surrounding areas.

Super Lawyer!!

If you are looking for a Family Law/Divorce attorney, I highly recommend Crighton Chase! I was referred to Crighton by a good friend. I'll be forever grateful for this referral. I needed help reinforcing numerous portions of my settlement agreement and getting my ex back on track towards complia...nce. Once Crighton went to work on my case, I noticed immediate results. There were numerous financial issues addressed and all resolved in my favor. Shortly after all the financial stuff was dealt with, my ex filed suit seeking a change in child custody and modification of child support. This was scary! Fortunately, the uncertainty was short-lived. Thanks to Crighton's aggressive approach to my case, my ex dropped the lawsuit and said he was moving. THANK YOU, CRIGHTON! If you have the unfortunate experience of ex related legal warfare, you want Crighton Chase to represent you. He is an expert in his field and a force to be reckoned with. I will continue to send my friends his way! Thanks Crighton!!
