Exceptional
As a real estate professional I have worked with many attorneys. When I worked with Chip for the first time several years ago I was immediately impressed. Since then I have worked with him personally and have referred many clients to him as well. He always does a great job.
"I have worked on matters as opposing counsel to Collison Royer prior to forming a firm with him. In the 7+ years I've known him, he has consistently been extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and responsive. He is highly competent in commercial banking, construction, and real estate matters."
