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…!

Criminal threats

Mr. Chapin helped me with my criminal threats case in which I was going to receive 4 strikes in 2017 in which the charged were reduced to a misdemeanor and no probation. This year I expunged my record with his help and I couldn't be happier to have my life back.

THIS IS THE BEST ATTORNEY IN CORONA!!!

This attorney, not only assisted me with my family law case, BUT he cleared my pending citations in criminal court to strategically obtain custody of my children again! THANK YOU GOD for Thomas Chapin and his ethics! I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Professional Attorney You Can Trust

I got in some trouble and looked to the yellow pages for someone to help me out. He answered my call and was able to meet with me almost immediately. I had received a noise violation from the RPD for a party I had at my house ($1000 fine). His office was very inviting and I felt comfortable. After te...lling him my story he went with me to another office to speak with the officials in charge of my case. I sat silently as he spoke with the other party. We left the office and he told me that if they contacted me to give him a call. Months turned into years and I never received any calls or notices about the charge. I have done numerous checks in the court database and nothing has popped up in my name. A few years after that first run in with the law I got myself into another predicament. I called him up and again he was available immediately. We spoke about what had happened and what I should do. He gave me a retainer contract that I luckily never had to use. I am not writing to parade around that I got off, I understand that not everyone is as lucky as I was. Mr. Chapin will do everything in his power to help out those that come to him. On top of everything though, what I appreciated most was his understanding and willingness to help out. I live my life with a sense of relief that I know that there is someone out there who will help me in my not-so greatest moments. I have matured a lot over the years and try my best to be a good citizen, but I still memorized both of his phone numbers just in case.
