Excellent lawyer; I was very fortunate to find Mr. Chaney.

Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and honest attorney.
Justin Chaney helped me with an immigration case. I have little knowledge about law and will not describe my case in this review. If you do need honest, hardworking attorney you can trust, I recommend Justin Chaney. Some of the things I like about him: 1. Justin Chaney answer all my questions and e...
"Great immigration and criminal law attorney. Justin has a superb grasp of immigration law. I've referred many of my clients to him for immigration matters. I am constantly hearing back from these clients about how well Justin is taking care of them. He is tireless in working for his clients and is a genius at finding solutions to the roadblocks in their cases."
"Justin Chaney is my former employer, professional colleague, and personal friend. Pursuant to federal immigration law, there are potential immigration consequences for non-U.S. citizens who are charged with criminal offenses. Accordingly, if a non-U.S. Citizen is facing criminal charges, that person needs a lawyer who is highly knowledgeable and skilled in not only criminal law, but also immigration law. Justin W. Chaney is that lawyer. If you or someone you know is a non-U.S. Citizen who has been charged with a crime, give Justin a call. You'll be glad you did!"
"Justin is an amazing immigration attorney. He is the only immigration attorney I refer my clients to, and he has served every single one very well. He has been able to stop deportations, push through citizenship applications, and help ensure a better life for many people. Every time I refer someone to Jason I know they are going to have an amazing experience."
"I had the pleasure of working with Justin on a Habeas petition. To be candid, I was in over my head. The issue was complex legally and factually, and touched on matters relating to both immigration law and Constitutional law. Justin was reliable, professional, and very sharp throughout. He also proved expert at the lost art of answering the phone and returning messages. He was Virgil guiding me through the Inferno that is our criminal and immigration law. I would jump at the opportunity to team up with Justin in the future, if such opportunity ever presents itself."
"I have represented many clients along with Justin that were charged with criminal offenses that also had immigration issues. Navigating such a case is different than a typical criminal case since even a small misstep can cause the client to be deported. Justin is thorough and extremely creative. He has a knack for figuring out a way to resolve cases in such a way that avoids our client's deportation and helps our client avoid the risk of trial as well. I recommend Justin without hesitation."
"I endorse Justin. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
