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.
