Plea Lawyer

We didn't get the help we wanted for the high price paid. This was a vehicular case that clearly had 2 sides. In complicated cases there are often many options to consider. It seemed as though this veteran has his mind made up and therefore was unwilling to deal with or just not motivated in consider...ing other legal options. Given the attorney's experience it was assumed that he was communicated all the potential options. Ultimately a new lawyer who would listen had to be retained in order to take the case to trial, which we were strongly discouraged from!!

Best Possible Attorney - I could not have had better qualified, more knowledgeable or better representation for my case.

I was accused of horrible actions against minor children. I knew I was innocent, yet was still in a state of shock and disbelief that this was the reality of my life. Michael Chaney, reviewed the facts of my arrest, the lack of evidence and took the reigns in every aspect which lead to the discover...y of my innocence in the eyes of law enforcement, the court and the public. I felt confident that through him the truth would be exposed and it was. I can not thank Mr. Chaney enough for getting my life back on track. His ethics and insight were a terrific combination, making him the most effective lawyer I've ever known. He is an absolute expert in criminal defense. In a time of need, this is the man you want on your side. To say I am grateful for his service is an understatement.

"I have known Michael for 30 years. Since we both practice criminal defense, I have often either brought him in as co-counsel or brainstormed on issues. His trial preparation is beyond comparison."

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.
