This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ira Chester Esq. saved my career, and my retirement.

I have known Ira Chester Esq. for over 30 years as personal friend. Then came a time when I needed his professional services. I was arrested on four felony counts with a firearm. I was employed by Los Angles Airport Police as a Traffic Enforcement Officer. If I had went to trial I would have lost my ...case. I was in possession of a firearm, off duty, and outside the jurisdiction of my employ. Losing my case would have meant the lost of my employ and retirement, let alone 3 months incarceration. Through his great work, all charges were dropped in the furtherance of justice. I did serve two weeks community service, and angry management classes. In essence Ira Chester Esq. saved my life. I have now been happily retired from city service for eight years. I still have 130+ friends employed by the city in the same capacity, if there is a hint they may need his services, I recommend them to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
