Highly recommended!!!

I hired Ron Chapman II for a health professional license issue. I came to Ron with no hope for the future and left feeling that I had a chance and was in good hands. He is wonderful, and extremely passionate about his work. He takes the time to explain all scenarios, helps you feel comfortable, and ...no matter what the circumstances he will provide solutions. I never felt he was only out to make money or didn't care, he is genuine and will fight hard to obtain the best results. With an extremely stressful situation he has been outstanding and patient with answering questions, returning calls, emails and always going above and beyond. His office staff are extremely helpful and friendly as well. If you are looking to hire an attorney look no further, he is by far the best there is. I am very happy with my results and will definitely be a lifelong client.

Ron was courteous and professional and helped me through a very difficult situation. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney or a better outcome.

Healthcare Licensure

Chapman Law Group has represented me twice against the State of Michigan Attorney General's office in regards to healthcare professionals licensure issues, both cases resulted in a 100% win on my behalf. They are extremely well versed on issues related to healthcare professionals and I highly recomm...end their firm.

"Ron is a very skilled and experienced criminal defense trial attorney. In addition to his experience in civilian courts in both criminal and civil cases, Ron also brings with him a wealth of legal experience from his years serving as an attorney in the United States Marine Corps.
