Got in trouble by a cops/daughter It was a major misunderstanding and was taken to jail and charged with a felony and four counts of mistermeaner, I have to say it wasn't looking good for me even tho is wasn't what it appeared to be he really showed intrest and will work hard, and also will work you with you with payments. Bottom line got everything dropped before court date. Nothing on my recorded this guy knows his stuff and if I have to recommend someone it would be him.
Chad was the best choice I could have made to represent my DWI case!
Chad was an incredible Lawyer from start to finish. When I reached out to Chad after being referred to him by a friend, I had never been in any situation with the Law before. I was incredibly upset and unsure of what would happen. He made each step very clear for me to understand, he kept me informed of any changes and aware of what was to come. I remember at one point him emailing me while being very sick in bed. At that point I knew I could trust him and be confident he not only cared about my case but also about me as an individual.
Chad was also very knowledgeable and worked hard to get the best results for my case. It all paid off after finding out we had WON! I wasn't charged with a DWI, I had no further charges and could move forward with a clear record! I appreciate all Chad Atwell has done for my case and would recommend him to even my closest family and friends! Awesome Lawyer! Great at what he does!

Attorney with KNOWLEDGE AND INTEGREITY
Chad has been my Attorney for several years now. He is always accessible and prompt on calling me and keeping me informed. He is very knowledgeable in whatever he is working on, willing to go the extra mile on research and justification. He is very thorough and researches each case with diligence. The best thing about Chad is he is always honest and straightforward with me as a client!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
A waste of thousands of $$$
Chad talks a BIG talk, we paid him a ton of money and no more was done by him than what could have been done by a State paid attorney. He didn't return phone calls most of the time and didn't keep appointments at times that he set. The initial court was rediculous! He knew that he couldn't do anything, he had to have known if he's as experienced as he claims! He took our $ and did NOTHING! An honest attorney would have been straight up and suggested stay with what you have, this situation can not change. One court appearance and numerous failed returned calls and appointments. This is why attorneys get a poor reputation. We're a hard working family that fell prey to a slick talking attorney who said he could make a difference. Ha! The judge even thought he was a snot nosed! Reminded him that he was in his court room. Seek out the older attorneys that aren't preoccupied with making a name for themselves, but have true passion for assisting families in need and they are up front and honest. Chad working as a prosecuting attorney offers no leverage for any of his cases, don't be fooled by that in his ad.
