More than a Lawyer

Ames Chamberlin has been more than I ever expected a lawyer could be. Ames has helped me with several criminal offences including a probation violation. Ames has gone above and beyond every time. He has helped me by putting me in contact with the services I have needed such as assessments, counseling... classes, and even drug rehabilitation. Ames has always followed up with me and kept me informed with anything involving my cases and frequently checked on my personal well being including coming to the hospital just to see me. Ames has shown me that he truly does care and has been a trusted friend to me aiding me through trying times in my life. He always made me feel like a person and not a client. I have never had any doubt that my best interest was his mission. Ames' knowledge of criminal justice is unparalleled and he has always explained every detail of the law and what my charges ment and the consequences they carried. He has navigated me through several court appearances giving me the ability to feel confident in a courtroom. I was always prepared with an explanation of what was happening weather it was only a first appearance or briefed on what I could expect while at trial. His offices contacted me regularly by mail to insure I was aware of all my court dates and when it was required for me to appear. Ames made himself available for any questions I may have had or even just to settle myself before my appearance. His reliability in handling my cases with the best possible outcomes have made him invaluable and I would never enter a courtroom without him . I trust he has what is best for me in mind and is capable of delivering.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Years ago I needed co-counsel in a very difficult, high profile murder case. Someone on our defense team recommended Ames, saying, he was the hardest working lawyer they knew. Ames agreed to come on board and we spent the next two years preparing for and trying an incredibly difficult case. The recommendation was spot on. He is the hardest working criminal defense lawyer I know."
