You need lawyer "muscle"? You need Chad Elsey.

Chad Elsey was brought on to my 1+ year highly-contested divorce case to handle the very aggressive and complex cross-examination portions of the case. He did an amazing job in deposition of the opposing party, which took over 6 hrs. He did an amazing job at trial exposing the opposing party as "...the bad actor" that they were on the stand in front of the judge. This matrixed strategy support also allowed for a more effective and efficient approach to bring this overdue divorce to a close.

Narcissistic abuser, who’s not worth the cost

Chad Elsie was hired and did nothing but lie and manipulate everyone during the process. When he was hired, it was for filing a divorce, but he encouraged a restraining order as well. After that, he encouraged another one to charge more money, and after that, he allowed false information to be used a...nd an affidavit to be signed illegally to put yet another restraining order on the defendant, is completely unwise, and take even more money from a mother, who was being abused by her husband. He berated this woman on the stand and made her read completely defamatory , humiliating a , humiliating, and inappropriate text messages in front of everyone in court, even though the claim against her was that she was suicidal. Only a heartless, soulless person could do that to someone who is just trying to keep their head above water and get away from their abuser. I would not recommend hiring Chad if you have any kind of morals or ethical standards that you live by. Because he has none, he’ll do whatever he has to for more money. He purposely alienates parents from their children, intentionally humiliates witnesses on the stand and lies to help hide abuse that put children in danger. Chad Elsie is not the lawyer to hire if you want a person of substance. He is definitely a slimy one, hire someone else, i should have.
