Rating A+++

I was very pleased in the manner Jay, Chip Siegel's, office treated me. It only took me one time to visit his office that I made up my mind for him to represent me. Especially after speaking with Connie, Chip’s partner who was very understanding and making me feel at ease and with no judgments. I l...ooked high and low for someone to represent me with the same professionalism I would represent someone else. After multiple calls, I felt that as though his office was waiting for me call and to know exactly who I was. The first interview Chip got all his information and never had to ask me any more questions. After visiting other attorney offices, I did not feel the same ease or received the same high level of service and attention as Chip’s office gave me. With Chips knowledge and expertise he had my case resolved in no time. After all the worrying and the nerves that got the best of me. I just have to say Chip was the best Attorney who I invested my time and money. It was all worth it.

Incredible!!!

As advertised, Chip handles cases personally. He was available to talk both on the phone and in person, and was very patient with me as I had MANY questions regarding the process, possible decisions, etc. Chip and his team were on top of everything as they kept me up-to-date on court dates and the DM...V hearing. Chip doesn't beat around the bush, and with his vast experience and knowledge, I was able to easily trust in him and his suggestions. It's also worth noting that his assistant, Connie, is VERY VERY VERY caring and was a great resource to have! I would recommend Chip and his team to everyone.

Great Results!

Chip is very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions in person and by phone/email. DUI is a long process and he know all the ins and outs. He was able to reduce my charges to reckless driving and I didn't ever have to appear in court! I am so thankful I found Chip and Connie. Th...ey truly want to help you and will get you the best results.

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.

Wouldn't Recommend Anyone Else

Jay "Chip" was a phenomenal lawyer from start to end. The two most important things I want in a lawyer are reassurance and realism. You want your lawyer to express confidence that he/she can be of help to you. At the same time you want to them to be real with you so there are no surprises at the end.... Chip laid out exactly what he thought he could achieve for me on day one and delivered every bit of that and more in the end. And that was even with a late curveball thrown by the prosecutor in the final week before our trial date. It was very noticeable how both the prosecutor and judge had a high level of familiarity and respect for Chip and it no doubt increased my chances of a favorable outcome. That alone made him worth every penny but his knowledge and guidance were extremely valuable throughout the process as well.
