Very thorough DUI lawyer

Chip helped me throughout the entire process and found a way to get me a better outcome than I could have asked for. He noticed every little detail and issue with my case. I had a great experience and felt that he was compassionate as well. I highly recommend him to others.

Trustworthy Lawyer Jay Siegel

My daughter had a Shoplifting case. I called five Lawyers listed out of the book or online. Jay took the time to explain all the possible outcomes for the case. He was patient and thorough. He was the one lawyer who made me feel at ease about the situation. Chip told us that we did not need to ...show up for the first court date so we didn't. There were two other Girls involved. One went represented and one did not. They both went to the first court date and resolved their cases the same day. I got impatient with Chip after I found out that the other girls were done and we were still in limbo. My daughter was off to college soon after and we did not want her to return for other court dates. Here is the most important part o the story. Jay asked us to trust him and let him go through his normal process. Because we did, my daughter never had to appear at a court date and shortly there after her case was settled. She received less probation time than the other girls. The court also accepted an online class that she took (One that was recommended by Chip) so she did not have to attend classes in person that the two other girls did. Jay followed through on any statement or promise he made. If you need a lawyer that will guide you and never steer you wrong, Jay Siegel is your man. I would suggest that you not worry and let him go through his process. He was knowledgeable and reputable. While I hope I never need him again, I would hire him in a second.

Great experience working with Chip's firm

I met with many attorneys and Chips firm was the most caring and professional. Chip and Connie are amazing at what they do and were super informative and understanding throughout my case. I highly recommend letting Chip defend you!

Very professional and thorough, the best outcome imaginable

I did a lot of research and spent a lot of time deciding who I would choose to represent me for my DUI. Compared to other Attorney's that I had contacted, Chip (and Connie) gave me a great initial consultation that was very warm and receptive. I could have saved at least $1000 - $1500 by using anot...her Attorney... BUT I'm 100% certain that you get what you pay for. Chip is worth every penny. Going through a DUI is a very tough thing, but Chip and Connie take a lot of the stress out of it for you. Thank you again for all the great work!

An Attorney who cares

I would highly recommend Chip as an attorney. From the initial meeting, he had a genuine concern with my case. He made sure to cover every angle and did not give up until I had an outcome that I was happy with. And in the end I was VERY content!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline 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.
