Cleared our son's name

Outstanding! Chip Siegel represented my son in a case of mistaken identity. Our son was accused of a crime in the local area. Since my son attends school out of town, Mr. Siegel represented him in court and highlighted the issues that eventually led the DA to drop all charges. Chip kept us informed a...t every step in the process and provided sound counseling. He was thoughtful, down to earth and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the law office of Chip Siegel. Money well spent.

Las Vegas Casino Marker Case

Hello Everyone, I Just Wanted To Let Everybody Know What An AWESOME Attorney Jay "Chip" Siegel Was For Me. Long Story Short, I Attended A Few Casinos With A Trusted Friend And After Enjoying Some Time And Getting Caught Up In The Moment I Made A Stupid Decision To Take Out What Is More Commonly Known... As A "Marker". It Was 2010 And My Business Was Failing Terribly Due To The Current Economic Climate And Therefore Putting Me In A Bad Position To Repay My Markers On Time. Despite Trying To Make Payment Arrangements A Select Few Casinos Decided To Turn Me Into The DA And That's Where My Nightmare Began. I Was Referred To Jay "Chip" Siegel And He Saved Me And My Family From Public Humility And From Staying Out Of Jail. It Was The First Time In My Life Where A Business Owner Who Weathered The Ailing Economy And Was Somehow Fighting To Clear His Name. Chip Stepped In And Got All My Charges Reduced From A Felony Conviction To A Misdeameanor Initially And Ultimately DISMISSED!!!!!!!!! This Attorney Is Highly Experienced, Personable And Inteliigent. He Is Reasonable In His Fees And Will Be Upfront And Honest With You. He Also Offered Me A Payment Plan Which Really Made Life Easier At The Time. Jay Siegel Clearly Explained Everything In Detail To Me And Stepped Up To Bat For Me. If You Find Yourself In A Similiar Situation And Need A Competent Attorney Call Jay "Chip" Siegel. He's Got Your Back!

Great communicator

I was concerned with my attorney choice as I am out of state and couldn't meet the attorney I chose directly. We talked for over 15 minutes initially about the case and made me feel comfortable he was qualified to handle it. He communicated at the right times and gave fair potential outcomes. Payment... options we also available. I would recommend him to anyone.

DUI 2nd offense brought down to reckless driving

I went to Chip for help on my DUI 2nd offense case. On our first consultation, I felt very comfortable and I knew right away that he can handle my case. He was very helpful and easy to communicate with. I won the DMV case so I didn't lose my license. A few months later he was able to bring down my c...harge to reckless driving so I got to keep my license! Thank you Chip! I highly recommend going to Chip for any DUI cases !!

Couldn't ask for a better experience

Chip handled two DUI cases for me that were about a month apart. Both were eventually reduced to wreckless driving. All the fines and stipulations along with the case were minimal. I only had to appear in court once for each case. Connie the office manager couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The p...hones are always answered and messages responded to very quick. I even received email reply from Chip on a Saturday. I can't find one thing to criticize about my overall experience with Chip, on both cases.
