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.

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!

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.

Great Attorney and Very Nice Man

Crighton is not only a very good attorney, but he is also nice and a good listener. His calm demeanor helped me during my tough situation with my ex-husband.

Review of Crighton A. Chase, Esquire

Mr. Chase is knowledgeable in his field. He is attentive to his clients. He works for his client's best interests. We hired him as a family and he communicated well with all of us. He kept us informed at all times. From day one, he communicated all possible outcomes, but reassured us regarding... his goals and the goals that were achievable. He has integrity and we appreciated that in our lawyer. We highly recommend him.
