No one will work harder for you

I hired Mr.Chase to represent me in multiple cases and charges. He is hard working, knowledgable, and just VERY good at his job. I really appreciated him being straight forwth with me about my options and possible outcomes of my trials. He didn't sugar coat anything for me, but he did work extremely ...hard and I couldn't be happier with the results!

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.

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.
