Brent R Chipman's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Brent

David Pedrazas

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have been involved in several cases throughout my career with Brent as the opposing attorney. For a period of time, Brent's office was down the hall from my office, and I would often come to Brent for advice. I believe Brent is a great attorney that represents his clients well, and is easy to work with in getting the matter resolved."

Experience

Rating:  10.0 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2004

updated on 12/04/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Brent’s comment:

“Reprimand was 20 years ago for a miscommunication with a client. I have had an AV Preeminent Rating with Martindale-Hubbell for 20 straight years since 2005.”

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline
    This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004
    Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
