Excellent Attorney providing outstanding Service!

I needed assistance from an attorney because an investment firm had made a mistake in my fund allocations, resulting in loss of income to me. Chad was persistent with them in requesting that they pay this lost income to me. His knowledge of the laws pertaining to my case were very well presented in... his correspondence with them. His persistence resulted in my receiving the entire sum I requested, despite their reluctance to do so! He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an intelligent, competent, and personable attorney!

Chad Wootton is an excellent attorney

Chad Wootton has represented me in several matters over the past 6 years. In each case, Chad thoroughly explained the legal implications of my situation and guided me through the processes with his calmness and clarity. His logic and wisdom was reassuring at each step. He was not only attentive to... detail but his brilliance in handling our negotiations was inspirational. I highly recommend Chad. I couldn’t imagine going through a serious situation with better representation. He is a winner!

Chad Wootton - Lawyer Extraordinaire

I have known Chad Wootton professionally for about 7 years and each time I have used him as an attorney or as a consultant the results have been outstanding. His grasp of the law and complex situations is exemplary. He is a gifted writer and a very dedicated to his clients type of attorney. I woul...d highly recommend him with the understanding that this is the first professional recommendation I have ever conducted, since I do not take these things lightly.
