Superb Service

Cole used to be the Attorney General in his area and now it is in shambles since he has left. He is very knowledgeable in his area, and great to work with. He was unfortunately unable to help me gain any ground in my case (due to my circumstances, nothing to do with his efforts), so he graciously off...ered to refund my non-refundable retainer. Who does that?!? I would recommend him to anyone!

Not exactly Tami. I was a deputy DA, and the office has changed a bunch since I've left. There are still great lawyers in the office, but the leadership has changed. The community is lucky to have these dedicated deputies, despite the challenges that they face. I'm glad that you were satisfied with the service, and I'm sorry that I was unable to help you.

Excellent Representation

Mr. Chase represented me in a matter in which I prevailed, because he has an extremely strong ability to show his professional expertise in legal representation with civil and criminal matters which may arise. He has the expertise in changing the outcome of a proceeding, where it would otherwise be ...difficult for a client to prevail without the effective assistance counsel, but in this case, Mr. Chase is MORE THAN EFFECTIVE. Additionally, his willingness to communicate with his me, and provide the kind of information that was necessary and proper, is of top notch standard. I most appreciate the fact that Mr. Chase is a former prosecuting attorney, so he has (among other things) that absolute knowledge and understanding in getting to the truth of a matter where a particular party might not be so keen on telling the truth. In the future, if necessary, I will have no reservations or second thoughts about contacting Mr. Chase again for any important legal matters which may arise.
