Holly is AWESOME!

We worked with Holly Chapman in a really difficult time for our family. She was incredible-- professional, gave us great counsel, was empathetic and really understood our concerns and worked with us to get really positive outcomes. Holly was realistic throughout our time, and also helped us achieve o...ur desired outcome from our situation! I'm so grateful that our friend recommended DCW to us and that Holly worked with us to the end! She even followed up and was sure that we understood what steps we could take in the future if we ever needed to take further legal action! I highly recommend Holly for any of your legal needs!

Don't Hesitate, Hire Holly

Holly was awesome with my case. She listened to me, and was very empathetic. She assured me that she could help, and that's exactly what she did. Needless to say, we won the case.

Awesome person!

I am so grateful that everything went well in my case. Holly handled everything, very professional, and got straight to the point. This was all done while I was out of state she did an awesome job.

"Attorney Chapman is one of the smartest attorneys I’ve ever worked with and hands down one of the top lawyers in Augusta. As her former colleague and trial partner, I’ve worked on a number of serious cases with Attorney Chapman and witnessed how great of an attorney she truly is. First of all, she knows the law very well and better than most judges. As a result she has won several pretrial motions, hearings and jury trials for her clients. Second, Attorney Chapman’s intelligence, success in the courtroom, and leadership in the community has earned her an excellent reputation among all the judges and lawyers in the Augusta area. Lastly, Attorney Chapman is a very caring and compassionate lawyer. She takes on her client’s problems like they’re her own and never compromises her client’s best interest. If someone asks me for an attorney in Augusta, I always recommend Attorney Chapman and her firm."

"I worked with Holly for 5 years. Throughout that time, I was lucky enough to have Holly as my mentor, and also my friend. Holly has always been a great help to me; she even supervised my very first jury trial! In addition to being a great mentor, she is also an amazing criminal defense attorney. She stands up for her clients and makes certain that they are treated fairly. Holly is a great attorney and I would recommend her to anyone, who is looking for a serious criminal defense attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
