A day in court with an attorney who cares.....

After 3 years, many court dates, and two other Attorneys I finally wised up and hired Attorney Chatterton to represent me in my spousal support case. He was very up-front, honest and a man of integrity! He was compassionate to my situation and utilized his legal knowledge and expertise when present...ing the facts. Each time we entered the court room i felt like he had my back. Whenever I needed a question answered, I would email Attorney Chatterton and every email was answered promptly. Attorney Chatterton made sure that I understood every step of the process. I believe if you are looking for an attorney who will give you the confidence of a fair day in court, then you should hire Attorney Chatterton.

If u need a DUI Lawyer, Patrick Chatterton is the best in the business.

Patrick Chatterton is "Tha Man". I received my second DUI in April of 2003. The first was in July of 2001. I received both DUI's while living in Michigan. Because it was my second DUI, my drivers license was suspended for 1 year. When that happens, you must have a hearing in order to get your license... back. Not easy to do. In Jan of 2004, I moved to Georgia. Once in Georgia, I ignored the fact that my license was suspended. I used the Marta system (public transportation). In July of 2005 i decided to apply, on my own, for a hearing to get my license back. I went to the hearing in Michigan, knowing that I would get my license back. Boy was I wrong. When I received the denial letter I was shocked. So once again, I ignored the situation. In order to get to my point, lets fast forward to 2009. I came across Mr Chatterton thru a benefit from my wife's employer, called ARAG. I got in contact with him, and the rest is history. He agreed to take my case. He walked me thru everything I needed to do. He knows the system, so his information is priceless. Like I said earlier, he is tha man. From conversations on the phone, to letters I needed to write. He is on point from top to bottom. Needless to say, he was really the man at the hearing. I was really amazed at how precise he was. I think the hearing officer was too. He reinstated my license right away. It is because of Patrick Chatterton, and his impeccable work ethic, that I have my driver's license back today. I can't thank him enough.

OWI

I was arrested for a DUI and hired Patrick Chatteron as my lawyer. He was extremely helpful and gave me the knowledge of what to expect during the court proceedings. He was always prompt on returning calls and arriving to court on time. I eventually was charge with reckless driving to help avoid a... drinking offense on my license. I was really pleased with the outcome of my hearings.

Over the years, I have had Patrick on the other side of a few cases, and have also worked as a mediator on one of his divorce cases. All of these experiences have led me to conclude that Patrick is an experienced divorce lawyer who goes the extra-yard to protect his client's interests. A former college athlete, he will never give-up on a client so, if you need divorce representation in the Genesee County area, you cannot go wrong with Mr. Chatterton. He will have your back!"
