I have known Tom since he was in high school. He has become an excellent attorney. Representing 3 of our family's legal issues. He walked in to the hearings kicking butt & taking names. Won all 3 cases in one visit to court. He has that take charge of the situation attitude up front. I would be te...rrified if he were against me! We love Tom Chapin in this family..

Replied last April 21, 2020

This is an untruthful post. I was not retained on the case and did not even know this person before mid 2014. We then went through three days of trial. He received numerous correspondence from me and was fully appraised of his case. He posted this after I decided to end the attorney client relationship. Of course, the review is from "anonymous".

Outstanding attorney

During the biggest fight of my life which lasted over a decade, Tom Chapin, my lawyer, was in my corner and we won! I can't thank him enough for guiding me through my unique legal situation with the utmost of knowledge and professionalism. A big shout out to his secretary/paralegal team member Jennif...er for her extraordinary work in this as well. They worked with me when things seemed hopeless and provided me the support and determination to keep on going with their experience and tenacity. Thank you so much for all you do, as it's been a life-changing experience and I can breathe again! Published Case Law “ Marriage of Mohler“

The best in the business!

Thomas Chapin has represented my family and me on two separate occasions. In both cases he was prompt and professional in getting the results we needed. He is an excellent attorney who knows his business and knows how to take care of his clients. His exemplary skills and knowledge, coupled with his d...own-to earth demeanor and honest nature make him the obvious choice when hiring an attorney. In my opinion, Tom is the best in the business!

Posted by Jose | June 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Excellent Attorney! Knows his way around a courtroom!

I was arrested and charged with 2 DUIs in the span of one week. I was facing a minimum of six months in jail and a whole host of charges. Mr. Chapin was able to keep me out of jail (3 months of house arrest instead) He was also able to get the majority of charges filed against me reduced and / or dro...pped. He is a very skillful attorney with great attention to detail—I would recommend him to anyone…!
