I have recently had some challenges with a home renovation. My husband found Chad's information online. We called him up and left a message, and he immediately called us back. He provided us great advice and did not charge. With his guidance, we feel we are on the right track. As a fellow attorney, I appreciated Chad's professionalism in getting back to us right away and providing us advice that was at no-charge with a cost-effective plan for moving forward. While we still haven't taken any specific actions yet, knowing we had good options made us feel less victimized in what has been an otherwise frustrating experience. Thank you, Chad!
