Highly recommended

Crighton represented my divorce case and criminal case and some civil suit as well. My divorce case was super difficult and complicated because my ex was not normal mentally so he made malicious criminal case through divorce to get an advantage for custody and it caused civil suit too. It was fight ...with crazy person so it seemed like never ending and I was desperated but Crighton was a superhero to me. He represented every complicated cases perfectly for me. He is very trustful and competent lawyer and very organized so he made super complicated cases easy and systematically. And he is diligent, clearheaded and aggressive when it needed in the court and especially he is a good listener with warm hearted so I didn't get stress at all even though I had lots of complicated cases. I am very happy and satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Crighton. He is the best!

Worth Every Penny

Crichton represented me in a divorce trial. He did a great job for me and we won our case in a huge way. Mr. Chase is impressive in the courtroom. I will hire him again whenever I may need council. He saved me a small fortune, worth every penny I paid him.

Representation offered Candor, Insight, and Support

Crighton was recommended to me by a senior partner in the Annapolis firm I had elected to use for child custody and divorce matters. There were some tricky wrinkles to my case involving volatile subjects such as substance abuse and gender transition that might have dissuaded others from representing... me. He was a good listener and crafted a practical strategy around the facts and circumstances of this family law situation, focusing on my highest priority: gaining full legal and physical child custody. He afforded me full opportunity for input then proceeded to argue the case, negotiated an agreement with the opposing side lawyer and achieved success for me. I found his communication approach to be most satisfactory. He kept me informed of the status of my case on a regular basis via phone and email, explaining the reasoning for proposed actions or developments. I have the highest respect for his skill as a lawyer and his ability to deftly guide the client to arrive at a solution that is both beneficial to the client and defensible in real world terms.

He knows his stuff

I used Mr. Creighton's services to help me resolve traffic court issues that were a result of my negligence as well as paperwork mess ups by my insurance company. Not only did he help me understand the laws surrounding traffic issues and used his experience with the prosecutor's office to speed the ...process and reach a fair and just solution, but his demeanor made me feel extremely comfortable. I truly appreciated his counsel and advice and felt more secure than with any attorney I've worked with previously (although in other areas of law). While I hope I will never need his services again, I definitely will seek him out again if i do.
