Great Advice!

Matthew was a great voice of reason and gave sound advice on the questions I asked him. I won't go into specifics but he took the time to speak with me directly and I would recommend seeking him for representation if needed.

On demand and upfront

Called between 9-930 p.m expecting to leave a voicemail. Nope! He answered right away. He kept it straight up with me and didn't sugar coat anything. Answered every question I asked. I love the fact that he was on demand and upfront!

Thank You Matthew Chase...5 Stars...Mission Accomplished!!!

Mr. Chase is a fantastic attorney and I would rank his abilities amongst the best of the best in the St.Louis area. I strongly recommend Mr. Chase to anyone seeking immediate legal assistance, representation, and or legal advise relevant to the areas of tenant and criminal law. My family and I fo...und ourselves held hostage and victims of a local landlord who had been unlawfully detaining our family possessions for over a 3 month period and had been operating a large scale criminal organization, which preyed upon low income, hard working, & innocent tenants. As the St.Louis City Police Department sat around and laughed at us, with no intentions to do anything but hold strong to their blind eye, Mr. Chase, within the first day of contact, invited my family and I to his home in order to formulate an aggressive legal strategy, attacking head on the injustices committed against my family by career criminals and now local authorities. As the federal government and state agencies ignored our pleas for help, Mr. Chase stood strong in the line of fire and fought for what was truly right in the language of the law. Within 24 hours, Mr. Chase had successfully made his entry, offered an immediate resolution to our legal problems, and within 2 months had victoriously resolved all legal entanglements, including amending a Class C felony charge down to peace disturbance. The felony charge was stemming from my attempts to rectify the situation civilly, under the guidance and direction of the St.Louis City Civil Court system, Police Department, and Prosecutor, which unfortunately was done prior to hiring a private attorney and in the long run cost my family our savings and threatened my freedom. Mr. Chase contacted us immediately after submitting to the Avvo site and offered a very insightful look down the road of what was to be expected moving forward and offered payment structuring in a manner which made his services very affordable to our family. Mr.Chase represented, my family and I, on five related cases, in which, Matthew Chase obtained favorable results in each case and successfully won judgement in our favor against our landlord. Mr. Chase more than exceeded my expectations and has truly earned the 5 star review! Mr.Chase is a true life saver, a genuine caring person learned in the law, and a unswerving industry professional setting the standard for expert legal representation in the St.Louis area. I am grateful for choosing Matthew Chase as my attorney and will continue to utilize his services moving forward, he has done an excellent job!

Thank you so much, Christian. I am glad we were able to help and obtain the result we did. You certainly helped me, and I must thank you, as you are one of the most organized clients I have had. Ever. That helps a lot. Look forward to hopefully working with you on more positive matters in the future.

Matthew Chase is professional, courteous, thorough and knowledgeable

If you want a lawyer who cares. It’s not easy I certainly met my share but I can assure you Matthew S. Chase is truly concerned about his clients. He worked very hard for me to make sure I got the best possible outcome. I had no surprises and everything I needed to do was clearly laid out for me. You... can’t ask for any more than that from an attorney.

Mr. Chase, a best lawyer, great achievement!

Thanks Mr.Chase who represented me in the landlord-tenant case. I appreciate all hard works he has done and the great & quick results have been achieved. It is 100% fully satisfied. In fact, it is over my expectation. I made initial call to Mr. Chase for free consultation by the end of May. With Mr.... Chase's help, in about two weeks, I got the consent judgement signed by the tenant. By the end of Jun, I got full payment of 2.5 months rent and possession. The whole process took about one month. I'll strongly recommend Mr.Chase and I'll hire him again for any legal issue in the future. Best lawyer!

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Mar 20

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."

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.
