Couldn't ask for better attorney!

John was brought in on a wrongful death lawsuit in my father's death and he has been the best thing that could've happened for me and my family during a very difficult time. From the very beginning I knew I was in good hands. John was very up front, honest, and kept the lines of communication open fo...r me everyday any time of day. I was very pleased with the hard work and there result of my case.

workers comp 2005

John W. Chandler handled my workers comp case for the last 15 years. Although that was a long time, that is why I am writing this very positive and long time coming,well deserved, review. And to say thank you for being straight forward and allowing myself and my family to be able to carry on with the...ir day to day lives,without me burdening them with my life changing event...Mr. Chandler always kept us updated and to let us know all along the way of possible future delays in this process, to be prepared for the next obstacle that was just around the corner.What I am trying to say is this. Mr.Chandler treated me and my fanily with the utmost respect and did his due diligence in all matters of life to keep our lives as normal as could be as he "FOUGHT" for me, to receive the benefits that I deserved to fullest extent of the law.Mr. Chandler and my family became A family in itself over these last 15 years and he took all lifes encounters that life thru at me and my family along the way,keeping my dignity and piece of mind in check, and in the loop all the way through this very long and tedious journey..I would highly refer Mr.Chandler to represent you, he is highly qualified and a decent human being....Thank you,Paul

Professional, effective, and empathetic

After my mom was unexpectedly killed by a drunk driver, the last thing on my mind was how to deal with all of the moving pieces to properly collect insurance money and evaluate our legal options. John made a (seemingly) overwhelming process quite manageable: he clearly spelled out our options for how... to proceed at each step along the way, sent appropriate and timely updates to my family, patiently listened to our concerns, and took meaningful actions based on our input. Moreover, John was very understanding and empathetic during this entire process. I highly recommend him as both a professional and a genuinely kind person.

Wonderful Attorney

We hired Mr Chandler 6 years ago for my husband due to a nasty industrial injury on the job. We can honestly say, we have never met a more kind, compassionate, humble attorney in our life's. Mr. Chandler fought for my husband to make sure his medical was provided. He was there every step of the way. ...Mr. Chandler and his team have been a God sent throughout this entire ordeal. Thank you so much for all of your assistance throughout this process. If you are in need of an attorney who will fight for your rights this is the attorney for you. We would hire him again if we need a attorney that specializes in his field. Thank you again to you and your team. We can finally close this dark chapter of our life and move forward.
