Chad Everett Axford

I was originally given Chad as my public defender on some very minor misdeamenors. While my misdeamenors were pending I ended up getting 7 more misdeamenors and 5 felonies. Although I had never been convicted of a crime or pled guilty to a crime having 17 pending charges at once looks terrible and sc...reams guilty. Anyway, when I got the 5 felonies we made the decision to retain Chad on all my pending cases instead of keeping the public defender I had been assigned on the new charges. Retaining Chad was the best choice we could have made! I was 19 and 20 throughout my court proceedings and come from a family where no one has ever been involved in any criminal matters outside of minor traffic tickets. We were all very scared and nervous and had no clue what to expect! Chad eased all of our concerns and was always available to answer our questions! Even if you called and he couldn't answer he can almost always respond to you via text. I think the longest I had to wait for a response from him was 30 minutes. It is amazing how available he makes himself to his clients! Even after work hours or on the weekend he would reply to my texts. I kept them short of course because it is his time off but the fact he will reply after hours speaks volumes about him and how important his clients are to him! I cannot say enough good things about him! He is also realistic about what he can get as an outcome for you. He won't tell you what you want to hear just so you hire him. He is honest about what he could likely get you as a deal and will always get you the best deal possible. While I do not think it is appropriate to share what we paid for his services he charged us a VERY reasonable rate given all the charges I had. We paid a set amount for him to handle all my cases. He was able to get me a short amount of probation time for all my charges with less than the 'minimum' active time suspended for my sentence! Most attorneys will get you probation and not so much worry how much time is suspended should you violate your probation, Chad isn't most attorneys though! Once all my cases but one was resolved I moved across the state, 30minutes from the NC/TN line. Long story short there was an issue with one of my misdeamenors I completely forgot about and never told Chad about since I forgot about it since I had so many charges. I had a warrant for my arrest. I immediately called Chad and he went to the DA and had the case dismissed. Even though I forgot to tell him about this misdeamenor charge when he gave me a flat fee for all my cases he handled it for me months after all my other cases were resolved. Again, I cannot say enough good things about him. Truly a one of a kind man and attorney. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney for ANYTHING no matter have small or big a criminal matter, traffic matter, family/civil matter, etc. contact Chad and have your fingers and toes crossed he is able to take on more cases! Even if he feels your case is not a good fit for him or one of his attorneys he will refer you to a trusted friend within the industry. If you are lucky enough to have Mr. Axford represent you, you will not be disappointed! In fact I wouldn't believe you if you told me you were anything but beyond satisfied with the results of your cases!
