Posted by Jermaine | August 3, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional from beginning to end........

I was injured at work in 2013. After retaining a lawyer, that I will not name, I came to the conclusion that I did not have a lawyer that was on my side. One day while out with friends, Thomas Chapman was recommended to me and that he would speak to me about my case to see if there was anything that ...he could do. We spoke and after hearing his input, I immediately knew my next step. Release my current lawyer and hire Mr. Chapman. I can not praise his skills enough. It started out with me being hit from behind by a driver with no insurance to a driver with insurance. Mr. Thomas' commitment to me and my family and going that extra mile to find insurance was a life saver. If you have any reservations, get rid of them and hire him TODAY! You will be pleased with his professional straight forward approach and he will never give any advice that will not benefit you in the end.

Great Attorney

Tom Chapman has been a great attorney for my case. He explains the process very thoroughly and updates you every step of the way. It's been a pleasure having Tom as an attorney and I would highly recommend him.
