The Attorney with a Fierce Heart

Mr. Chapman is my attorney for life! He helped me through a very tumultuous divorce with a class A narcissist who bobbed and weaved and lied and cheated his way through the divorce: the narcissist lost! This was the hardest thing I’ve had to go through, and Mr. Chapman was genuinely caring and st...rongly guided me to toughen up in spite of all the emotional pain. Let me tell you, I am so strong and confident now that I’ve gotten through the divorce! I couldn’t have gotten through this WITHOUT Mr. Chapman! Thank you, sir, and bless you!

Divorce

Mr. Chapman represented me in a recently mediated divorce settlement. This was projected to be a strait forward litigation between two sixty-five year olds, no children involved, which, for a myriad of reasons drug on for three-and-a-half years. Mr. Chapman's advise and council were invaluable in b...ringing this case to it's ultimate conclusion. His instruction in matters of law, his opinions and personal experience with the court, his insistence to explore every possible avenue were all presented for my consideration but the decisions were mine to make. Over the course three-and-a-half years Mr. Chapman's professional attention to detail and concern for my interests never wavered. His efforts were greatly appreciated his services highly recommended.

A bulldog in court!

We cannot express how awesome Shain was with our assault case. It was a long shot, but he was aggressive for us in court. He delivers! Pay the man and hire him! The other guys don't want to go up against him!

Knowledgeable

Mr. Chapman was very knowledgeable & helped us when we had a will contest. Lines of communication were always open & he was very responsive & patient with our many many questions.

SHAIN CHAPMAN is "THE MAN"!

YOUR main voice in the courtroom will be whomever you secure as your attorney. It's of great benefit for you to have someone experienced in the area of law you need them to be, knowledgeable of the letter of the law and who is in the Judge's good graces or at the very least, not on their bad side. ... As things were about to fall apart in my World a friend said to me, "You need a real pit bull in court" and... "SHAIN CHAPMAN is who you want". I met with Shain. He was pleasant. He answered all of my questions and we worked on my case over a period of several months. He showed up to court "on time" (and was favored amongst others who had secured him as well), he was prepared and on point. There were times he was difficult to reach but, ultimately, I would utilize him again in a Heart-beat! Very knowledgeable, very experienced and very fair. I believe my situation would look entirely different had I not used him and I am very grateful for how things worked out given the circumstance. I have since heard from others that he is very good, and I certainly agree. I hope I don't ever go through that again but, if it were to happen, he would be my first call.
