"I have known Chip since we were study partners in law school in 1983. I have referred matters to Chip, confident that they will be handled expertly and with the highest professional and ethical standards. I endorse him without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chip McAteer is a true professional. He is experienced, pleasant, knowledgeable and reasonable."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. McAteer. Chip is the consummate professional in all respects; a lawyers' lawyer. I frequently refer clients to Chip for legal matters I don't handle, and I have always received excellent reports about his legal work and demeanor. He is thorough, detailed, and appropriately assertive. Add to that his vast experience and sharp intellect and you get one great lawyer. You may retain Chip with confidence that you will be well-represented."
"To endorse a lawyer after only 3 Avvo answers is unusual, but the answer I have just read of Mr. McAteer was so thoughtful, so extensive in its coverage and explanation, and so customized to the needs of the Avvo asker that an endorsement at this early stage is more than warranted. The qualities demonstrated by Mr. McAteer are exactly those that every client would look for when hiring an attorney."
