Chantal Sabrina Lynn Host

Chantal was wonderful to work with. My situation was an update of a previous parenting agreement that was inaccurate and unfair. Chantal and her team were able to straiten things out quickly and easily. Conveniently, she works out of multiple locations with a part time office in Morris. I'm very ...happy with the entire process of working with her and she secured the favorable outcome I was looking for. Hoping not to have the need, but I would defiantly work with her again!!

I had the unfortunate opportunity to retain Chantal Host on my ongoing divorce case. If you want an attorney that’s not on your side this is the one for you. If you want an attorney that’s in it for the money then hire Chantal today. Chantal sold me a dream during the free consultation. After I pay...ed the $3000 retainer she was extremely difficult to get a hold of. Between two court dates and a few emails I received my first bill of $1800, more than half of my retainer, gone! After our first time meeting in court, Chantal arranged a meeting between myself, my spouse, and both attorneys where all parties verbally agreed to certain terms. I agreed to pay my spouse weekly and in turn I was going to be able to finally have parenting time with my kids. That meeting was January 21st and to this day, March 11, 2026, I’ve only been able to have my kids one weekend for parenting time. As soon as my time was denied I immediately brought this concern up to Chantal. She repeatedly told me that my parenting time was not enforceable because there is no court order but continued to hold me accountable to pay weekly child support without a court order for that either. Chantal never offered up any solutions or a plan to allow me to see my kids until I continued to press her to file anything on my behalf to allow me parenting time. Anytime I would email Chantal about any of my concerns nothing was done. She did not fight for any of my needs regarding my children, not once did she provide evidence from me regarding my spouse denying me time with my kids. She did not have my best interest or my children’s best interest in mind. Regarding the sale of my house, I used a realtor that she referred to me which was clearly her friend. The realtor was very unprofessional as well and just as good of a communicator as Chantal. Her estimated payoff was off by nearly $40,000 and so I decided not to continue working with her, I was not comfortable with how she conducted business. I decided I needed to use a realtor I could trust and Chantal accused me of conducting a backdoor deal to receive additional funds which was completely untrue and unfounded. I could have easily said the same thing about her and her friend. I was naive in the fact that I believed Chantal would help me out in my case. I asked her multiple times to have a phone call or in person meeting to discuss a case strategy and it never happened. I would ask her direct questions and bring up legitimate concerns and she would always give me the runaround. Chantal would never even say she would get back to me if she didn’t have an answer and many times she would ignore my concerns completely. Not once did Chantal return my calls even when I attempted to scheduled phone calls with her. I was able to get her on the phone twice in the two months she was retained. The only times she was responsive was when I fired her realtor friend and when I fired her. Before the last court date she filed a petition regarding parenting time and we were supposed to address outstanding concerns regarding taxes and the house, Chantal said she NEEDED be there at court to support me since the motion was already filed and instead she did nothing. She walked into court and acted as if she didn’t even know me, told the judge I fired her and that was it. And I’m sure she’s going to bill me for it. Between four court appearances, emails, and phone calls, I racked up a $3000+ bill and I’m still at square one, a bigger headache and even more debt than I was before. Very unprofessional and an inadequate communicator, she leaves much to be desired. I would strongly NOT recommend her.

I cannot rave about Chantal enough!!! She was extremely thorough and professional. She was communicative and explained all my options and what to expect during the painful divorce process. She isn’t pushy and takes great care while also having an edge of not messing around. The perfect balance. She w...as an answer to prayer and I thank God for her and her heart. She has a way of building a bridge between two people who are struggling to agree- she’s kind, respectful and fair.

I am very happy with the representation that Chantal provided! She is very knowledgeable of the law and was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Chantal explained the legalities in an easy-to-understand manner, which really helped put me at ease. I would not hesitate to work with Chan...tal again!
