Awesome Lawyer

I'm sister of ho lee. We hired him, his very punctual, honest, helpful, supportive,and his price to hire him is very good. Number one lawyer, solved a bench warrant case with opening a trust account. Secretary Connie is very friendly and sincere.

Best criminal defense attorney

I hired Chip for my dads case where he violated probation and parole that happened 8 years ago. Chip was straightforward and punctual dealing with this case. We set up a trust account to ask the district attorney. To dismiss the case without the felony. When full amount was paid they dismiss the case... without a felony and my dad was out of jail. Thank you so much Chip!

Miracle Worker

He is an amazing lawyer that provides miracles. Not only did he help me push my case almost 2 years. He also got my restitution to less than half. And no jail or probation for a felony case.. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Case DISMISSED!

A few month back my fiance needed some legal help. Like most needing an attorney and have had past experiences utilizing attorneys we were looking for someone special. We needed some serious help, really a miracle. Chip was our 1st appointment out of 5 that day. We arrived at his office and could... immediately tell this was a law firm that succeeds in this business and success was what we needed. We were introduced to Connie and immediately Connie was warm, calm and welcoming. She introduced us to Chip and we walked into his office. By the decor in Chips office you could tell that this was a lawyer with many merits and in the City of Las Vegas. During our meeting Chip was very poinient, direct, inquisitive and very kind. He explained the whole process and wanted to make sure we were leaving his office with no questions to later stress over. He also added a personal touch and talked about his history including his beautiful family. We then explained to Chip what we had budgeted for this and Chip was gracious and accomodated our financial needs if we chose to obtain him. We explained we needed some time to discuss the matter and also had other appointments that day. On our way out Connie greeted us again and it took just minutes for us to realize that Chip Siegel and his team was exactly what we we needed. We cancelled all other appointments and walked back to his office. From that moment forward it was clear that Chip if anybody could acquire the results we needed. I am going to sum this up by saying that a few short months went by and we recieved a call. Chip had some remarkable news, her case was dismissed and we only needed to pay a small fine. Good people can make some poor choices in life and sadly my fiance made a very honest mistake, the law can be unforgiving and cruel. Chip Siegel and Connie made sure that justice was on our our side and this was a win for not just my fiance but myself. We shared this burden together. Chip and Connie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We prayed for a miracle and recieved just that!

Handled magnificently

I was charged with DUI in Las Vegas, however had plans of moving out of state for work. This worried me, however Chip ensured me to go about my life and he’d handle the whole thing. That is in fact what he did. From afar, he kept me informed on any requirements on my end, and took care of every court... date and every aspect in Nevada. The final outcome was as favorable as could be- I had to take a couple online classes and pay a (very small) fine to the court. He was able to close the case without my ever once stepping foot into a courtroom or disrupting my new job and new life in a different state. It was truly a great feeling when he wrapped everything up, and I can’t imagine anyone else making the whole process this simple and worry free.
