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.

To busy for any more clients

Never returned my phone calls. I got the run around on when my court date was and why it kept getting pushed back. I was happy with the overall outcome of my case but she needs to work on her communication skills .

Considering the circumstances

Ms Crome took over my ex wifes case more than 6 months after a disaster which her previous attorney had created. Ms Crome was very receptive in working with my attorney, and she was very professional and patient, even after our case was over. She had quite a mess to clean up and was quick, proficient... and diligent in her work. Had my ex hired Ms Crome from the start, neither of us would have racked up over $10,000 in legal bills. If I didn't already have a terrific attorney, or for some reason she could not represent me anymore, I would consider Ms Crome.

Choose Chaka

Chaka has been my attorney throughout the entire process of overturning a previous judgement. We were just recently victorious. Her confidence, compassion, warmth, understanding and knowledge are beyond measure. She advised and updated me all along the way and made sure to anticipate possible actions..., interests and motives of the other party as well as the judge so that we could enter court as prepared as possible. As hard as it was, she made me wait until we were ready to go before the judge and was not quick to enter to courtroom and represented me extremely well. She was a worthy opponent against the not so ethical attorney that represented the other party in the case and proceeded to not allow nonsense or anything that was counter-intuative, counterproductive or most importantly, not in the best interest of my children and myself. She is down to earth, intelligent, witty and on your side with your interests in mind. She helped me to correct a horrible judgement and furthermore, she helped me to regain my confidence as a parent and not be intimidated by the court system any longer. I would strongly recommend her representing you if you are looking for someone who is tenacious and will get you results.

Appreciative of the great service

My experience with Chaka T. Crome, and everyone at the Crome Law Firm, far exceeded my initial expectations. Before the process began, I was nervous and worried that my voice was not going to be heard, which could result in the worst possible outcome for my case. Throughout the process, everyone ...at Crome was very friendly and professional, but also very direct with how they expected the entire case to progress. Their patience at managing my expectations was particularly appreciated. In the end, the outcome of our case exceeded even my greatest expectations. They went above and beyond, and their willingness to “shoot for the moon” made all the difference in the world for my family and I. I appreciate the attention to every detail concerning my situation, and the positive outcome was surely due to their diligence in every aspect of my case. My family is far better off due to the hard work that everyone at the Crome Law Firm put in.

Well now you do....Chaka is the lawyer that lawyers go to when they have a matrimonial or divorce problem. She is highly experienced, sought after, and she is outstanding at what she does. As a lawyer, and a former client, I highly recommend!!!"

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."
