Stuart Chandler is proud to call the Central Valley his home. He knew it was here he wanted to practice law. At the start of his career, Stuart associated with a prominent Fresno insurance defense firm where he excelled in civil litigation. In 1985, Stuart decided to change the direction of his career in pursuit of his desire to advocate for Valley residents devasted by personal injury. So, with that goal in mind, he said goodbye to the prominent law firm with the corporate insurance clients and hung his shingle outside a small office in Fresno. It was there he began representing clients victimized by serious motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, and victims of medical malpractice. His expertise soon grew to include assisting elderly residents and their families who have suffered from abuse or neglect at the hands of care takers, nursing homes, hospitals and resident care facilities. Stuart will take on the big insurance corporations for bad faith claims, companies in class action proceedings for unpaid and incorrectly paid employee wages, and other negligent acts resulting in injury or harm.
Chandler Law specializes in the field of Plaintiff’s trial litigation in all courts, State and Federal throughout California. Stuart Chandler has obtained over $100,000,000.00 in verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. In 2007, Stuart received the largest insurance bad faith verdict in Central California for $26,000,000.
