Steven Brian Chroman

Mr. Chroman was my THIRD attorney after my divorce. Divorce is a personal hell that I do not wish on anyone. It's a heart wrenching process that takes years to finalize and even longer to get over. Occasionally I still feel some of the effects that my divorce has on me. I came to Mr. Chroman with... little hope but with great determination to right the wrongs in my situation. He immediately assisted me in getting a court date and fixing the precarious circumstances I was in. Attention to Detail: Without divulging the personal details of my own divorce, I will say that he was attentive to the details I found important but was able to weed through the emotional nonsense and was straightforward with how to handle my position, something I appreciated greatly. Swift Results: I found Mr. Chroman after my final judgment was made. It was amazing how much was not included in my judgment that should have been. He was able to stipulate new orders quickly and work with the court in a way that I was unable. I had very little hope in fixing anything since my last appearance that had me paying out child support, but with his help he was able to turn that around and justifiably so. Compassion: Mr. Chroman is upfront and tells you what you need to know and how to handle your situation. Often times it's not something that you want to hear, but the advice comes with over 15 years of experience that I didn't have but seriously needed. Following what I needed to do didn't come without some tongue biting but in the end it turned out as he said it would. Yet, through it all, he was compassionate about my state of affairs and understood that it's easier said than done, he listened to me gripe and cry about all that was done wrong to me (so I thought) and helped me see how to help myself and move-on which was something I truly needed more than anything else. Work Ethic: I am now employed by Mr. Chroman's office and I able to see a new side of divorce that I wasn't able to prior. Watching him fight case after case for people that were just like me is inspiring. He is working before I come in, always through lunch and is here into the late evening. That is the kind of dedication that you would want from an attorney and I am thankful that I found him as mine. I didn't know what I was doing years ago and watching him help people day after day also helps me assist people that call in and need help, too. I feel their pain and have compassion for anyone that goes through this distressing situation.

It became obvious that a very contentious divorce was problematic on a number of issues, mostly related to cash and some possessions. This went on for months and, after weeks in mediation, things were no better than they had been. Mr Chroman came highly recommended by a close friend who was in ...a similar situation and, in short order, it became clear that he was not only up to the job, but also offered a few things that I had not experienced before with attorneys. He is very patient when answering questions, and exceptionally good at communicating important information in a way that is easily understood. He is also very effective, understands priorities, and acts on them accordingly. He is also a great guy who is honest, and can take a lot of the stress out of situations. I recommend Mr Chroman with complete confidence, and without reservation.

Found Mr. Chroman through an ad in the local Santa Clarita magazine. Whether you like it or not, you are going to have to have some sort of a connection with your attorney because you will be talking to them all the time. My situation started out as your typical separation heading to divorce, when ...things got rather ugly. Mr. Chroman already had my confidence, but the way he handled my case moving forward is what convinced me to leave a review. When your attorney goes above and beyond your expectations you owe the community a chance to know about it. Good communication, gets the job done, doesn't have outrageous billing fees. Mr. Chroman has my recommendation. Thank you.

I was at a previous law firm in Woodland Hills and they seemed to know nothing about the law and I lost everything under them. I was very frustrated and called around. Steven called me back the next morning, a Saturday. He met with me after work and on weekends to accommodate my work schedule. He... has an excellent knowledge of the law. He was very upfront about his billing and what he bills for. I am winding down on my case and instead of having anxiety, Steven has given me confidence in my case and I now go in very calm. He has completely turned my case around and my life. He has been patient and attentive and when I started a new job and couldn't take time off, he understood and would meet with me at 7:00pm and on Saturdays. His billing has been very fair and (don't tell him) but I would pay him even more because he has done such a great job. I think with most attorneys, they don't get that your entire financial future and your peace of mind for the rest of your life hinges on this moment. They don't understand that once the judge rules, it is very hard to try and convince the judge otherwise. Steven seems to get that. He knows that this is a make or break moment in your life and you are not just a case number and a payment. He understands that you are counting on him to help you through this very, very difficult time. Steven, thank you!
