Great attorney!

Jonathan Chance was given to me as a public defender for my federal case. Without Jonathan Chance as my lawyer I don’t know if I would’ve got as good of a deal as I did. He made me feel welcomed during the long period of time my case went on and helped me every step of the way for almost three full y...ears. I really think if I had a different attorney, one who didn’t care to help as much as Mr. Chance did, then I would’ve been sentenced to prison instead of probation. While on pre trial release I messed up and quit contacting my probation officer which lead to me going back into custody and Jonathan helped me get back out, and then helped me settle a deal with the government for a lower end sentence of the sentencing guidelines and even got me three years probation instead of a 30 month sentence in prison which I am extremely grateful for. Overall a great attorney and I highly recommend him for the job, he has a great reputation in Indiana.

True fighter and highly competent. Should be your 1st choice!

I initially reached out to Mr. Chance to see if he would be interested in representing me on a non compete covenant as I was about to leave my employer to seek similar work in my field. This grew into me needing representation on a wage and hour dispute with additional protection against a countersui...t involving an intellectual property claim over software design. Mr. Chance absolutely represented me in spectacular fashion! I have had to hire attorneys in the past and I can say, without a doubt, this was the first time an attorney really understood my needs. He was very responsive to my questions. In many cases his responses would lead to me further realizing evidence that would fortify our position. Needing an attorney is an emotional rollercoaster and it moves you to make rash decisions but he brought me to reality on many occasions with good reasoning and explanations on how it could actually derail the case. I have immense respect for an attorney that will tell you straight out that you shouldn't waste your time even though it could generate billable hours for them. I was satisfied with the outcome of our case because of the fantastic work of a very competent and thorough attorney, Mr. Jonathan Chance, Esq. !

The best Attorney I have ever worked with

I hired Jonathan Chance to defend me in an employment law case. There are several reasons why I highly recommend Jonathan: - Professional: Felt like he was knowledgeable, researched my issue thoroughly, and worked very hard to defend me. - Responsive: Always quick to return my calls, texts, ...emails, etc. - Results: Successfully defended me and I avoided a lawsuit (which was my ultimate goal, I did not want to go to court over the issue). I also appreciate that his rates were reasonable. When I called around and spoke to several other attorneys before deciding to hire Mr. Chance, many of them wanted to charge a several thousand dollar retainer fee before they would even consider working my case. You will not be disappointed with Jonathan. He is the simply the best at what he does, and performs at a very high level.

So Far, So Good!

Though I have only had a few interactions with Jonathon through a case my family is involved in, I have been overall extremely happy with him. He is definitely someone who has gained my trust, when our previous lawyer lost it. He is available and he takes care of business promptly and thoroughly. The... best part about him is that he is very kind and patient, which I feel like makes him to such a fantastic job and gives us a lot of hope, when so much of it was lost.
