Best Business Attorney in town

Mr. Chapoton has assisted me in a variety of personal and business related matters. I have been a client since 2009 and have used his firms services for mergers acquisitions. I would advise any business owner to consult with Mr.Chapoton before starting a business. His work is very quick, thorough, ...and personable.

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.
