Dismissal on Poss of CS

I hired Mr. Choate to handle my possession charge in Montgomery County. He got me a dismissal within 1 month of hiring him. Now I just need to wait to get it removed. Awesome job.

Firearms Taken

I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome with my case. John did an amazing job! His team kept me informed and worked with me every step of the way. John came highly recommended by a trusted friend and his results were impressive. Even during such challenging times (with the courts being clo...sed due to covid and multiple reschedules) they guided me through every step of the way. Johns attention to detail and follow through (down to the very end) allowed me to recover my personal firearms and had my case dismissed! If I could give him more than five stars I would.

Sharp, tenacious, dedicated

For over 18 months- Mr. Choate fought in the trenches for me and my daughter against a mountain of lies that were nearly believed. Because of Mr. Choate’s quick wit, he was able to prove nearly every point the opposition had made as false allegations. My daughter and I are eternally grateful that he ...never gave up- even when we were tired of the fight. His closing argument nailed the coffin lid closed. We won’t ever consider another attorney.

This law office gets the job done

Being the CEO, the buck stops with me. My business has used Choate law office several times. When I spoke with Mr. Choate he invited his investigator in on the meeting. Made me feel like my problem was as important as anyone else. His team turned out results. My company has used him on matters t...hat were solved with a simple letter. His knowledge of the law makes me comfortable. So comfortable I refer my friends, coworkers and family.

Great Experience

We have hired Mr. Choate on more than one occasion and I can say that he has gone above and beyond our expectations. He is very professional, straight forward and trustworthy. He has never let me down.
