James Rene Chatto

James is an amazing attorney and will do exactly as he says. You tell him what your goal is and he will tell you straight up if they are achievable and if not what he can do so you know what to expect. I can’t say enough good about him but if you need a kickass attorney that you can be honest with be...cause he won’t judge you then he is your man I don’t think he could have made things any smoother for me. Hands down my go to guy. thanks James Chatto

I was referred to James Chatto by a family friend/lawyer who was too close to my family to comfortably represent me. Considering the source of recommendation I had no reservation seeking James out. He did not let me down whatsoever. James let me know clearly what I was facing, what my options ...were, and he stood by me. He was knowledgeable and wise. He demanded the truth be apparent on all sides and defended based on truth. He is a man of integrity, he is thoroughly versed in his profession, he demonstrates compassion regardless of the situation, you can witness his passion for what he does, and you can trust that he will do the work he is entrusted to do.

I have hired James on a few occasions, so I can accurately attest that he is very professional, caring and all around a great attorney to have at your defense. He does a great job of explaining the situation to you as a client, the possible outcomes and also how things may best be handled. My last ex...perience working with James he helped me get two felony charges dismissed before going to trial. We explored other options in my case before going to trial and ultimately waited till I had an offer of paying a level of restitution that I felt acceptable with. James has came to my rescue also in the past and was very helpful in my defense in DUI and also another felony charge, in which case he also got the felony dismissed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great defense attorney in the metro or southern mn area as I've worked with him on a case in the cities and also outside of the metro area. All around he is a great guy, who is easy to talk with and does a great job coming to your defense in your legal issues, I will highly recommend him to anyone I know that needs a great attorney

I highly recommend Jim. I must of received 50+ letters in the mail from attorneys. I chose the 5 I liked the best and began contacting them. Something stuck our about Jim, I could see fire in his eyes - he was there to fight and protect my rights. I immediately chose him after our consultation. Ji...m has extensive knowledge of the courtroom, he knows of many different angles to approach a problem. He works extremely well with the prosecutor to make a fair deal. He always has an answer for my question and prepares you/keeps you informed whats going on with your case in the courtroom.

James represented us in a criminal vehicular homicide case. He kept us updated as he researched the facts and was preparing for the numerous court appearances. James was always thoroughly prepared for court. He made sure we knew what to expect & answered our questions. He aggressively researched an...d found the right expert witnesses that we needed to prove our case to the jury. In court he was confident and totally prepared -it was obvious to us that he has had a lot of experience. His closing statement to the jury was well thought out along with a power point presentation reviewing the facts. As a result of his expert work the jury ruled in our favor. We found James Chatto to be honest with a lot of integrity.
