Absolute Divorce Case

Crighton Chase was an exceptional lawyer, and I am beyond grateful for all of his remarkable work with my divorce. It was a pretty heavy and complex case. However, he was very informative and confident throughout my entire divorce proceedings. His swift work ethic put a lot of my worries and concerns... to ease. I was 100% satisfied with the end result. I would highly recommend him!

Crighton was excellent!

After working with a first, very disappointing lawyer, Crighton came to my rescue. In 6 months, he helped me finish up my divorce proceedings which had taken years to complete. He was thorough, professional and answered my many questions quickly and with compassion. I would highly recommend his s...ervices!

crook/ salesmne

I was going through a very nasty divorce. My wife was keeping my children from me. My children are my world. I reached out to Mr. Chase, as Mr. Brown was recommneded to me, but when I first talked to Mr. Brown, he asked how much do you make, how much do you have to put down, and then transferred me t...o Mr. Chase after my answers. I talked to Creighton and he seemed like he wanted to help. I then exchanged many emails with him over the next few weeks, until Mr. Chase saidm I need to make a payment if I wanted to retain him as alawyer, I completly understood, and I set up a time to go visit Mr. Chase for what was said to be a consultation. After meeting with him in his office for 45 minutes he told me he had anpther appointment coming in, and reminded me to make a payment today. I made a $1500 dollar payment a hour later to the website he directed me to, That sane evening, within 4-5 hours he TEXT me saying he wouldn't be taking my case, giving no reason. When I asked about getting my momey back, he told me that my $1500 dollars was for his (45 minute) consultation. I was a hard working father with a good job, but he didn't think I could afford him, ad when he made that decision he took my money, and I never heard from hi again.

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!
