Outstanding Advice

I called Mr. Chase because a former landlord claimed that I owed additional compensation (beyond the deposit) for damages to the apartment in which I lived. This situation took me by surprise, as I anticipated receiving a full refund of my deposit. Mr. Chase offered some outstanding advice on this ma...tter and I highly recommend him.

Posted by Christine | June 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Responsive, fast, excellent

We got a "speeding in a construction zone" ticket while driving through St. Louis last month that REQUIRED my husband to appear in court. We don't live in St. Louis and did not want to go back for that. We found Chase through Avvo and called him and a number of other area attorneys. He was the only o...ne to pick up his own phone, which to me is a big plus. He asked us about the jurisdiction (St. Louis Muni Court) and asked us to send him a pic or copy of the ticket. He charged a flat rate of $150 and said he expected the case to be fairly straightforward. Other attorneys, or their paralegals, did eventually call back, but they said their fee was $500, and they said my husband would likely have to do community service or jail time in St. Louis. That sounded so extreme to me; I mean, it's a speeding ticket! We decided to hire Chase and within two weeks, he had been down to the court and gotten the charge reduced to a non-moving violation and had the fine reduced. Best of all once we pay it this weekend, we're done. Thank you! Though we hope never to need you again, we will certainly recommend you to others should they find themselves where we were.

Very helpful

Mr. Chase was very helpful in handling my case. He was very patient while handling my questions. At a time when I was very nervous, he helped put me at ease. He kept me informed of my case each step along the way. He came recommended by a friend, and I would recommend him myself.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. While relatively new to avvo.com, I run across Mr. Chase's answers with some frequency, as we both practice in the same state and area (albeit 250 miles apart). It's rare for me to read one of his answers and not recognize my immediate agreement with it. His answers are direct, yet complete, and objective yet compassionate. If his client interactions are anything like his avvo.com answers, it's hard to imagine a client leaving unsatisfied or non-victorious."

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.
