DUI 4th Degree

Chad helped me get thru my 4th degree DUI without jail time and was able to get me a plea agreement that was much less severe (driving with a BAC over .08). Chad carries and presents himself well and his vast experience as a former prosecutor was a huge asset for helping me get my case adjudicated. ...Thanks Chad!

Divorce

After some research, I chose Chad Throndset to represent me and my children in a difficult divorce. After everything is said and done, I'm very happy I chose him. Mr. Throndset was prompt in getting back to me with any questions/ concerns I had via phone or email. He was trustworthy and helped me... see the "big picture" in what I wanted from my divorce and outcome. He put my needs and the needs of my children first. I felt he was upfront and honest throughout the entire process. I always felt at ease in the courtroom with his presence, he was strong and knowledgable. Ultimately, I received what I wanted to accomplish from my divorce. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Throndset to friends and family. He's outstanding!

Competent

I drive a truck for a living and tickets and traffic violations are inevitable so I needed legal help. I was immediately interested in working with Chad because he had an easy going personality and a way about him that gave me the feeling he was confident and competent. I had a great comfort level ...after our initial conversation, and I felt that way throughout the process. I felt comfortable asking him any question no matter how stupid I thought it might be. I never once got the feeling that Chad looked down on me for being in the situation that I was in. He handled the entire process. He always returned my calls quickly. He answered all my questions and everything he told me he was going to do, he delivered on. I didn’t have to go to court because through his knowledge, hard work and extensive contacts he was able to get everything settled without a trial. Chad did a great job for me, and I plan to use him again for any tickets or other issues that may come up. He will be my first call in any legal situation I find myself.

Honest and Direct

The thing that impressed me the most about Chad was that I always felt like he was being completely honest with me. I felt that way the first time I met him, and I felt that way the entire time I worked with him. When your working with a lawyer it’s important to be able to trust them, and I trusted... Chad. He also made me feel comfortable with the entire case. He’s very calm, direct and didn’t come across as arrogant. I never felt like he looked down on me at any time. He was also surprisingly responsive. He was the first person to call back from legal match. He always answered the phone or called back quickly, and he immediately responded to emails and attached all relevant information and mailed hard copies. He kept me informed the entire time. I was also very happy about the fact that he used to be a prosecutor. This was a huge plus because he always seemed to know what the other party was thinking or planning. Thanks to Chad I was able to get my case dismissed.

Knows what he's doing

Chad knows what he is doing. He was honest and straight forward with me throughout the entire process. I was kept up to speed on what he thought the outcome was going to be, even if it wasn't something I wanted to hear. He was also very helpful in preparing me for the trial so there were no surpri...ses. The final outcome of my case was better than I expected. He was also very knowledgeable about all the paperwork that is involved which made that part of the process much easier than I expected. He was great to work with.
