Amazing attorney

When I called Justin I was worri d at first. We were looking for a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He took on our very detailed child custody/visitation case without hesitation. He handled this case with the love a care as he would of if it we're his own family. He was always professional an...d straight to the point. He didn't sugar coat anything which was refreshing because we never we're surprised. Justin can do wonders with whatever case he is presented. He would come highly recommended from us. If you are looking for someone that can keep you up to date and relaxed with your case, Justin is the guy you're looking for.

Diligent and Knowledgeable Lawyer

I was anxious calling initially, as are most people when they need to call a lawyer, but as soon I talked to Justin about my case, I felt at ease. I was involved in an auto incident. In short form, Justin worked diligently to get a favorable outcome under the circumstances we had to work with. He adv...ised me and talked me through the process in layman's terms and made me comfortable throughout the entire case. He is very knowledgeable and actually checks in on you, making your case feel like top priority.

An excellent attorney

“Prompt, effective, focused! Personal injury suits, like the one that was against my company, are a risk for every business. However, Mr. Chopin successfully defended the law suit against my company and quickly had the case dismissed, with minimal expense and with zero payout. I highly recommend M...r. Chopin.”

Posted by 40 Arpent Brewing Company | September 11, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Corporate & Incorporation

We needed ALOT of help

Starting up a Micro Brewery required more legal help than we could have ever anticipated. At first we hired Justin Chopin to incorporate our business with the state but we we soon realized that was only the beginning. We needed help researching and trademarking names. He helped write and negotiate c...ontracts with Distributor and Vendors. He helped us through the permitting process and even appered before the city council on our behalf. He continues to be our go as our business grows.

Personal injury lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Family member

"I endorse this lawyer without any reservation whatsoever. Justin is one of the finest lawyers in our community. I recognize that I am his father and my endorsement may be viewed as biased but he did work for my firm for a period of a couple years before deciding to redirect his practice areas. My partners and colleagues, as well as our clients, would request Justin to handle work on their behalf because of his outstanding skills and abilities. I have such a high regard for Justin that if I were to need a lawyer I would go to him. I do not say this lightly because I have been practicing 40 years and have many close friends that are excellent experienced, and older, lawyers and Justin outshines them."

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.
