A GIFT FROM HEAVEN

I'm currently at the pre-trial stage of an emotionally charged divorce. Initially, I hired a family law "Firm" who started off great, then eventually assigned a first year lawyer to handle my case. The “Firm” charged me tens of thousands of dollars for legal research, worthless motions, and on-the-jo...b training fees. I was billed an exorbitant amount of hours, by a Rookie attorney who used my case as a crash-course class in Divorce Law. Fortunately, a well-respected colleague, who happens to be an attorney, suggested that I find new counsel. He highly recommended that I see Steven Chroman, and stated "This Guy Is Brilliant and Knows Divorce Law." Let me just say... “That “ Is An Understatement. During my Free consultation, I found that Mr. Chroman’s questions and advice were insightful and revealed an extremely sharp mind. His understanding of complex legal issues relevant to my case seemed vast. I was not at all surprised to learn that Steven wrote the book (Amazon Best Seller) titled “Save Time and Money Preparing For Divorce. I cannot possible say or write enough to fully express my admiration and sincere gratitude for what this man has done for me. From the get - go, Steven acted swiftly and completely turned my case around to where I'm finally in a favorable position. No longer am I getting railroaded by my unscrupulous X and his attorney. For months, they were violating court orders left and right, making my life a living hell. Steven stopped the madness and brought me immediate resolution. In court, Steven leaves no stone unturned, he covers every angle, asks the tough questions, and is undoubtedly the smartest and best prepared guy in the courtroom. I suppose the many years of trial experience have given Steven the ability and confidence needed to be the” Tiger” that he is, whenever arguing for his clients in Court. What makes this Man so very special is that he really cares about his clients, and balances his compassion with tough legal defense on their behalf. I couldn't be happier with the quality of representation I have received. Whenever I call and need to speak to Steven, he is often available immediately, and if he’s in the middle of something else he always returns my call promptly, without billing me for the sometimes lengthy time I have him on the phone. Let me add, that I respect Steven enough, to not take advantage of his kindness and generosity, like others have. I understand that Steven is my Attorney, and not my Personal Therapist. I limit my contact to him, only for those times when a matter needs his immediate attention. I trust him implicitly and know without a doubt that he’s on top of things. There are many obstacles and unknowns that we are faced with, when going through a divorce. The smartest thing we can do is to place ourselves in the best care possible and hope the facts and justice will prevail. I have written this lengthy review (a first) because I want everyone to know that I am in the best of hands, receiving exceptional representation, more than I could have hoped to have received. Finally, after years of waking up with knots in my stomach, facing an uncertain future, I now have hope again, all because of one man, my amazing attorney…. Steven B. Chroman. Steven You Are My Hero!

Excellent Knowledge of the Law and is willing to meet after hours and on weekends

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!

Finally

I went to the BIGGIE law firm here in Santa Clarita first. Rip Off. Charged me up the ying yang and then did nada. Went to see another lawyer here in Santa Clarita. Had my case turned down because of the previous large firm mis handling. Went to see Mr. Chroman. Why did I hire him? First ques...tion I asked. How much money and time will this take. And you know what he said. He said, I cannot tell you an absolute. I can however tell you that if any lawyer or firm tells you an exact amount of money and time that you should up and walk away because they are not being honest from the beginning. And that was exactly what that large law firm did to me. They said this amount and this much time. 4x the amount later and nothing. In the meantime Mr. Chroman has been attentive, easy to talk to and keeps me up to date. I can get an appointment when I need to and I can reach him after hours. I am happy to say that bigger isn't always better. Out here in Santa Clarita, bigger just means that they paid for an award in the magazines out here and spend all of your money on lies for advertising. Go with Mr. Chroman. You will see the difference immediately!
