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.

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.

Benjamin Worsowicz, Real estate Attorney on Oct 31, 2016
Relationship: Co-worker

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.

Sunni Sugimoto-Dinicola, Child custody Attorney on Oct 31, 2016
Relationship: Friend

Amanda Lantz, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 18, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Chad on a few cases. He is very attentive to client needs and responsive to client inquiries. Chad is very aware of the stress that clients endure throughout the litigation process and is very competent at helping to keep the process manageable.

Darren McNair, Family Attorney on Oct 18, 2016
Relationship: Co-worker

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.

Peter Friedmann, Employment and labor Attorney on Oct 18, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Chad has been involved in simple and complex litigation. Regardless of the size of the case he demonstrates exceptional attention to detail.

I endorse this lawyer. Chad is thorough, competent, and very detail oriented. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients.
