Ms. Crome & The A-Team

My divorce, like many divorces, was awful. Originally, I thought we would have 'conscious uncoupling' and be kind to each other. I was naive. So when I initially consulted with Ms. Crome, she asked pointed, relevant questions about my ex-husband that frankly I wasn't ready to admit so I hired another... attorney who did a bait and switch, he passed my case to another attorney, who passed it on down until I ended up with a lesser experienced attorney who was ineffective in court against my ex's bulldog attorney. I was in jeopardy of losing my marital home, so I went back to Ms. Crome hoping she could fit me into her schedule. Once she became my attorney, everything changed. My emails, and calls and questions were answered. She provided legal counsel, which one would think your attorney is supposed to do but my previous attorney would tell me 'it's up to you". Ms. Crome prepped me for the court room, she pushed back, she stood her ground, she fought for me. Her team, Alicia and Amy, who I referred to as The A-Team because they are as professional as Ms. Crome, also was readily available. Ms. Crome was so effective that not only did I retain my marital home plus a few other assets but afterwards, my ex praised her and told me I had a great attorney and if he ever got divorced again, he would hire her. That is quite an endorsement. So hire her and The A-Team. Don't try out someone else who seems sympathetic and wants to dry your tears. You don't need someone who will dry your tears, you need an attorney who will fight for you. Lastly, be honest, tell your attorney truth and have supporting documents. I highly, highly recommend Ms. Crome & The A-Team. I have my home and financial security because of them.

Doesn't get any better

Chaka and her team set up my business for a fixed price. Remembering the adage, nothing is easy, the NV website went down while she was registering my business. Chaka spent untold hours on the phone with NV to rectify their error. She always kept me informed and never charged me for the extra work..., even though I offered. She is a 5 star.

Ethical, Knowledgable, Caring Advocate

I consulted with this attorney over a complicated matter that fell just outside of the services Ms. Crome provided. Instead of going through with the consultation, waiting everyone’s time and money, she called me, talk to others, and referred me to some wonderful other attorneys who could help. She s...howed compassion for my situation and really went the extra mile to try to help. If I was in need of a divorce or custody lawyer, I would definitely recommend her. If she was willing to do all of that for a potential client, you know she is a great advocate for her clients.

Child custody

Chaka will get the job done! She’s helped me with my divorce and custody battle to relocate to a different state with my children along with a few other family court matters over the years. She’s always been consistent. She’s a heavy hitter in the court room, very knowledgeable, realistic, easy to wo...rk with and reachable when you need her.

I felt confident and in good hands. I would highly recommend Chaka to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and honest. She... will keep your best interest and needs at the forefront. She helped me stay focused on the larger picture and was committed to my case! Susie

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Chaka is an amazing lawyer! She is smart and versed in the laws pertaining to family law/divorce as well as civil procedure. I found her to be well prepared and a strong advocate for her client without being bullish as many attorneys are. Moreover, despite being the opposing counsel on a divorce matter which I handled several years ago, I have found myself contacting her on several occasions just to get her opinion and "bounce" questions off of her on unusual matters. She has always been receptive and helpful to me as her colleague. I respect her as a person, a colleague, an attorney, and as an advocate."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Crome and I were on opposite sides of a case relating to a business relationship gone bad. I found Ms. Crome to be fair, professional, hard-working and dedicated to protecting her client's legal interests. It was obvious to me that she was well-versed in the areas of law in which she practices. Her staff was polite and professional. Ms. Crome was prompt in responding to correspondence and phone calls which is always appreciated. In the end, we were able to reach a resolution that was best for our clients."
