Solid DUI Lawyer
Getting a DUI in Williston was one of the worst things to ever happen to me. I looked for criminal lawyers online and asked around. After doing research I decided to hire Kevin to be my DUI attorney. No regrets. It was a rough case but he helped me out.

Very Satisfied with Kevin Chapman as my DUI Lawyer
Kevin Chapman helped me out of a situation that seemed insurmountable. During one of the worst times of my life, he was there to support me, and to walk me through the process. I am extremely grateful to him for his common sense and passion.
Kevin Joseph Chapman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Kevin has practiced law for 22 years which is what we refer to as experienced. He is known to put in the long hours at the office something normally reserved to young associate lawyers. He has client reviews which are beyond stellar. READ THEM! Clients are the ultimate judge of a lawyers worth and they have spoken loud and clear . Do yourself a favor if you or a loved one needs criminal defense and give him a call ASAP. If you are lucky he might just agree to represent you."
"Kevin Chapman is the premiere trial lawyer in western North Dakota in my opinion. When working with Kevin on major criminal cases, I have found him to be thorough and detailed. Kevin works tirelessly for his clients. I regularly see him working late at night in the office. He doesn't treat the defense of your freedom as a 9-5 p.m. job -- he does what is necessary to achieve results. He also spots issues and defenses that many other lawyers might overlook. I am impressed with Kevin's wide knowledge of the law in a broad range of legal areas, not just criminal or DUI defense. He is a determined advocate who cares only about the best outcome for his clients, not about earning favor from the prosecutors, unlike many other local lawyers. If I ever find myself in trouble (as a lawyer), I know who I will hire. If you want an aggressive and intelligent lawyer on your side, I recommend only Kevin Chapman."
