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.

Amazing lawyer

Crighton Chase was referred to me by a good friend. After a consult for my child custody agreement case .I hired his services immediately. With his genuine down-to-earth demeanor he put me at ease instantly. With his in-depth knowledge of the law, ability to articulate and accessibility, I never felt... alone throughout this whole process. Crighton's response time was amazing , far exceeding my expectations !!! He got the results I was looking for. I would want Crighton A. Chase in my corner every time.

Awesome and Responsive- Get it Done Attorney!

After trying unsuccessfully to resolve a debt collection situation for months, I met Creighton Chase at the Annapolis courthouse. Creighton Chase is an awesome attorney with principles he isn’t just another attorney looking for his next victim. Those of you that may have had the pleasure of dealing ...with an attorney, where you were uncertain, if they were representing you, will certainly find Creighton Chase a pleasure to work with. I found Crighton Chase to be a great listener and easy to effectively communicate with. He listened to my issues/concerns, carefully reviewed my documents and came up with an agreeable solution. He took the time to contact the debt collection firm and weed through their lengthy holding process and confused staff. Throughout the entire process he remained professional, responsive and available for questions (a big plus). I would recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation!!

Fantastic, Professional and Gets Results!

I hired Crighton last year based on numerous recommendations from satisfied customers and out of a need to replace my sub-par representation. Crighton came right out of the gate and represented my divorce case and criminal case extremely well and professionally. My divorce case was extremely stress...ful due to the opposing counsel’s lawyer but Crighton excelled in his representation of me and my interests and we came away with a very favorable settlement. My criminal case was looking gloomy but after Crighton stepped in, we managed to get the case dropped and later my record expunged. Crighton is very responsive via email/phone and was extremely professional and holds true to high integrity standards. His other Co-Workers and partners at Hillman, Brown, & Darrow, P.A. were great to work with and were just as helpful and knowledgeable as Crighton. In the courtroom, Crighton is clear, aggressive, and an intimidating force which is what you want on your side. I am extremely satisfied with Crighton’s service and keep his card close for when I may need it again.
