S.Phelps unemployment appeal
Mrs. Chinonis handled my unemployment appeal. I meant with her in her office. Talked about the my case. She drafted my appeal and sent it the unemployment office. She asked for a hearing and we received a date. She conducted the phone hearing with me. She was wonderful through the whole process. She kept me informed and answered any all my concerns.

Awesome Attorney
Nancy represented me in a case against my employer. She explained the legal process to me so I knew what would happen and was there for me throughout the lawsuit. She was always happy to answer my questions. I am very happy with the result of my lawsuit. Nancy is a great attorney. I recommend her to anyone who has been discriminated against at work!

couldn't have asked for a better lawyer
My husband and I had been searching for a lawyer to handle a UIA fraud case. This was the first time either of us had ever needed to seek legal counsel and we weren't sure where to start. After searching AVVO and reading some of the questions/comments we decided to call Nancy. The secretary was so nice and courteous on the phone and was quick to get back with us to set up our first meeting with Nancy. When we brought our case to her, Nancy quickly put us at ease and was very informative and explanatory about everything. She made us feel comfortable and assured us that she could help us. She was quick to act on getting our hearing moved to a later date to allow us to prepare more and during the next two weeks we had open lines of communication. If we had any questions, all we had to do was call and we'd get them answered right away. Knowing that we were facing a fraud case with a possible restitution payment hefty enough to purchase a brand new car, to say that we were nervous is understatement. Nancy helped us feel as calm as possible and assured us that we had a solid case. She even requested a phone hearing, that was approved, to help put our minds at ease a little more. We practiced questions and she was thorough enough to suggest questions that could possibly be asked to us by the other parties. We were as prepared as we possible could be. Today was our phone hearing and it went well. Thanks to Nancy, we somewhat had an understanding of how the proceedings were going to go and it went great. She was quick on her feet to counter any questions asked by the other parties and had a wolf-like sensibility in defending our case. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a smart, efficient, capable, trustworthy and comforting lawyer.

Great attorney!
I found Nancy Chinonis through the Avvo website and she was also highly recommended by our trust attorney. She was open to learning about my situation with an unemployment claim issue. Her methodical approach to fact-finding and her ability to grasp my particular case led to a successful resolution. Nancy was quick to respond to all correspondence that I forwarded to her from the unemployment agency. In addition, she was very willing to explain the possible communication roadblocks that I had been running into. Until working with Nancy, I was not able to make any progress on my own. Without her professional expertise, I do not think I would have achieved a successful outcome. I would highly recommend Nancy Chinonis.

Excellent work...Well Done!
Nancy helped me to prevail on the receipt of unemployment benefits. Nancy was extremely professional, clearly explained the law relating to my situation to me, and won the administrative hearing. Thanks to Nancy, I received all of my benefits.
