My husband and I met Mr. Chestnut two years ago, he was a referral from a friend. Over the two years with him handling my husband case Mr. Chestnut been a outstanding attorney, honestly and concern through out the whole process, he returns calls, texts and emails. We would recommend anyone to him. Th...ank you so much for everything that you have done for my husband and I.

in the begining, contact with mr. walter was great . for the last 2 years, i have called and e-mailed both mr. walter and mr. chestnut, and am not getting any returned call or answer's for my e-mail, in reference to my case as an injured worker in iraq. i have no idea if my case was ever settled, or ...is still on going. i am sure they are both very busy, but an answer is not asking to much.

Always Truthful Even when it hurts.

I have never worked with any lawyer before. I was nervous and didn't know what to do for me and my family. Herbert Chestnut gave us a comforting avenue to go down. He never misled or told us anything to get our hopes up. He was always very professional and always was ready when it came to preperation... in my case. Herbert Chestnut isn't just my one and only lawyer my family will ever use, he is my friend. He made us feel like we were people and not just a job he had to do. I HIGHLY recomend Herbert Chestnut and his office to anyone who want to be repersented by a (believe it or not) honest lawyer. Thank you Herbert for all you did for me and my family. I can never repay you for your hard work.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Herb Chestnut is a very knowledgeable attorney. We have opposed each other on numerous workers' compensation cases over the years. I have always found him to have a very realistic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of his cases. He will fight very hard for a client in whom he believes. Most importantly, Herb is a man of his word. If he says that he will do something, you can count on it."
