    Review Chad Stonebrook

    Was a huge help in my time of need

    Posted by

    After spending 7 months with another attorney that resulted in nothing being accomplished, Chad & his office stepped in, took over, and in another 7 months had everything handled. Also in the same time frame, took care of not only my auto claim case but other legal matters that came up. Chad was always responsive, even if to just say he didn't have an answer just yet. Attention to detail, professional, great communication, honest/upfront and personal interest in making sure I was happy with the results. Several times he hand-delivered paperwork to me. He was always available and made appointments with me around my schedule. Having had experience with other lawyers over the years, this was the easiest and least stressful experience of them all. He never promised anything but that he would do his best. I would not hesitate in contacting Chad & his office again should the need arise.

    Respected Colleague

    I have known Chad for over 20 years and have had the pleasure of consulting with him as an attorney for the past 3 years. His knowledge is broad based, but I can attest to his specific expertise in the areas of personal injury and landlord-tenant law. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Stonebrook when it comes to a capable and professional attorney who is easy to work with.

    During a business transition Chad was quick to respond and wisely guide me through the contractual details. Chad has also assisted me in other minor matters and is always prompt and caring with his response. He is very personable as well, which of course makes consulting with him comfortable and enjoyable. Thanks Chad!

    No Need To Go Anywhere Else

    Posted by

    Chad has been instrumental to my business in terms of reviewing contracts and making legal recommendations that help me sleep at night. I've worked with other attorneys in the past and they were what you'd expect, but not Chad. He is very approachable, very knowledge, and most importantly is extremely adept at tailoring his explanations of complex legal scenarios to whatever the audience may be. He and his firm have also made the process of creating a trust for my family painless, simple and straight-forward. I highly recommend him.

    Our company had ran into some issues that I could not handle myself. I was referred to Mr. Stonebrook to handle them. I had to evict a tenant at one of my company's properties and he helped with great results. Then one of our former employees tried to sue our company for a substantial amount of money my first call was back to Mr. Stonebrook and again he came through with great results. He kept me informed with what was going on and included me in all the decisions and paths we needed to take to get this resolved. We did not pay a cent to claimant he is very knowledgeable in the fields he works in and I am a client that wants to know what is going on and where we're at on any issue, he is great at keeping you informed and comfortable with how he is handling your case. I will continue to use him for any new issues we have and feel great about having him on our side. Mr. Stonebrook is great at guiding you through difficult times and makes you feel comfortable with your outcome. I needed a divorce attorney for my son and again I called there firm and he was very pleased with his outcome. I will use his firm for all my personal matters as well. I have complete trust in them and how they handle life's crisis whether business or personal matters.

    Chad Stonebrook: My lawyer of choice.

    Posted by

    Chad Stonebrook Was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance when I was in need of legal advice regarding a possible malpractice situation. Throughout the process, Chad was extremely diligent, about keeping me up to date with the happenings in the case. He worked very hard to make sure I received a settlement that I deserved and was comfortable with. As a result of Chad's handling of my legal matter, I whole heartedly recommend him, without reservation, to handle any legal concerns. In the event it becomes necessary to retain legal counsel in the future, I will not hesitate to contact Chad.

    Chad will never get caught off-guard. He is meticulous with his preparation and he makes sure that his clients are as prepared as he is. His attention to detail in preparation pays off when he is in court, in a mediation, or just on the phone with opposing counsel, because he can recall those details and advocate for his clients without being tripped up or caught unprepared. I highly recommend him.

    Chad is a very detail oriented, highly skilled lawyer with whom I enjoy working. He has handled cases for our firm involving millions of dollars down to cases involving small claims. Fortunately for our clients, he takes each case as a challenge and works just as hard for the small claim cases as he does for the high net worth business client. His follow up is unmatched.
