Edward J. Chester

Effective Representation For Those Who Need It Most
At Chester Law Office, we are committed to helping the underdogs. Ed Chester and Laura Ezzell became attorneys to advocate and fight for those who need it most: people who have been injured or who have lost loved ones and are entitled to compensation.

We represent clients throughout northern Indiana and especially in Elkhart County.

Those people cannot do this on their own. Fighting giant insurance companies and enormous corporations is a daunting and overwhelming task unless you level the playing field with experienced personal injury lawyers. From our offices in Elkhart, Indiana, Ed Chester and Laura Ezzell are dedicated to helping you. They stand ready and willing to serve as your advocates.

The Local Firm Committed To You And Your Family
Injury victims need a fierce ally in prosecuting personal injury and wrongful death claims. Our lawyers have concentrated their practice in Elkhart for over 35 years. We are proud to be a local firm that helps our community in the best way we know how. We are committed to providing the hard work necessary to make your case successful. We are approachable, are accessible and provide personalized service to meet your needs. Ed Chester and Laura Ezzell work for you, and they will always be there to answer your questions, listen to your concerns and help you get through the most difficult time of your life.

Our firm understands how important your case is for you and your family. We will do whatever is necessary to be the best advocate in your situation. If that means trying your case to verdict before a jury of your peers, we are not afraid to do so. If it means aggressive negotiation, we have the experience and knowledge to get you the best possible offer. Unlike law firms you regularly see on television, we do not handle hundreds or even thousands of cases at a time. Chester Law Office is not a personal injury mill designed to generate profits. We approach each attorney-client relationship as our ethical requirements demand: with the bests interests of each and every client at the forefront of everything we do.
