Satisfied Client

found Blair Chan when searching for a Board Certified Marital and Family Law Attorney in Tampa. After extensive research I selected his firm and never regretted my decision. I found him to be professional, responsive, intelligent and well informed. Stephanie, his paralegal, was equally as professio...nal and responsive during the time I was a client. I was kept informed during every step in the divorce process. I highly recommend Blair Chan to anyone in need of an experienced Family Law Attorney.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Blair Chan's firm is, by far, second to none. Not only was he very knowledgeable in the matters of divorce proceedings, but he is also caring and sensitive to your needs. His office was extremely professional and always returned emails in a timely manner or would take the time to make a call if the m...atter was pressing. Blair and team ensured completion of important documents by both parties. During my mediation, he made sure that I would the outcome would yield what was in my best interest and fair. He has years of experience and made the "rookie" lawyer consider his career choice. Blair was referred to me by a really good friend and I would recommend him to anyone that need this type of service. I was able to obtain my divorce in less than six months! If you are looking to have a strong, intelligent, and professional firm represent you, then Blair Chan's firm is the perfect choice.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I hired Mr. Blair Chan III to represent me on an alimony modification case. The first things that impressed me about Blair were: his knowledge of the law, his concern for me as a client (and his consideration of my concerns), and his attention to detail. Blair is Board Certified in Marital and Family... Law by the Florida Bar; this was a big factor in my selecting him. He clearly explained the strengths and risks of my case based on Florida law and on his experience. He paid particular attention to my concerns to assure that my school-age children were not pulled into the case. His thoughtfulness and expertise made the decision to hire him an easy one. Blair and his paralegal, Stephanie, remained in contact with me frequently throughout the case. They asked pertinent and appropriate questions. They stuck to the facts. Both were prompt in their responses to my questions, taking no more than one day to get back with me at any time. Their focus on and attention for me as a client were reassuring. It was good to know I had them in my corner. Blair Chan was meticulous in his attention to detail to my alimony modification case. The papers he drew up in order to serve my ex-spouse provided a clear representation of the facts of surrounding this matter. After being served with papers, my ex-spouse contacted an attorney. After consideration, she elected to voluntarily discontinue the alimony payments. I am confident, however, that we would have won the case had she elected to continue through court. I give my highest praise to Mr. Blair Chan III. I recommend him without reservation. The representation and service he provides are excellent.

Outstanding Representation

Mr. Chan successfully handled a very complex child visitation matter, including changing jurisdiction to another Florida County where we now reside. He was incredibly professional in dealing with the ex's obnoxious and recalcitrant lawyer and his knowledge of the appropriate strategy and the steps to... implement it for our son was second to none. I am an attorney myself and interviewed many Hillsborough County high-profile law firms before deciding that Mr. Chan should handle this sensitive matter for my family. Mr. Chan is Board Certified in Florida Family law and it showed in everything he did. Not only did he successfully handle all matters in court for us, but we were equally impressed with his demeanor and honesty when advising us of the different ways we could solve our problems. Most importantly, his fees were extremely reasonable for the outstanding representation and Family Law expertise he provided. I would not only recommend him, but I will readily hire him again if the need arises. He is an extremely effective litigator, well-known and respected by the judicial community and never forgets to suggest practical solutions to very complex legal problems. He solved our problem completely and never forgot that the safety and well-being of our 6 year old was all that really mattered.
