DUI and DWI 80%

The vast majority of my practice for my entire legal carrier has been defending those accused of driving under the influence. Most of my clients are referred to me by other attorneys and past clients. I would be happy to speak to you about your case.

28 years

80%
Criminal Defense 15%

Past clients often refer their friends and loved ones to me when they have other criminal problems. In all cases, I challenge law enforcement at every stage of the proceedings and stand up for my client's rights.

28 years

15%
Appeals 5%

Lawyers often refer their cases to me - to appeal their client's Drunk Driving conviction. In my appellate practice, I have won cases based on unconstitutional traffic stops, unconstitutional blood tests, improper jury selection - to name a few.

Posted by Michelle | July 03, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

Operating with a Restricted Controlled Substance

I am the parent of a 16-year-old who was charged with Operating with a Restricted Controlled Substance w/ minors in the vehicle. The best decision we made was to hire Attorney Chad Lanning. He gave 110% throughout the entire process. Attorney Lanning is extremely knowledgeable about the law, was a...lways prompt for court appearances and was thorough every time we met. He sincerely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend hiring Attorney Chad Lanning if you find yourself or a family member charged with a crime.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
