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!

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.

Exceptional Lawyer that Always Always MAde Me A Priority

I started to work with Chad 15 years ago and he has helped me on several occasions. In particular is DUI representation. He was always honest with me explaining the potential scenarios including the worse case. He's not an over promise kind of guy. He would explain very clearly what was in front ...of us. He made me feel more comfortable by telling the truth. Makes me feel like a human. A lot of attorneys that I have dealt with you are just an ant on the hill. They look at you like a criminal. Chad looks at the good in people. He really takes the time to understand the case and do the research.

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.
