Out for the small guy

I was facing an entire "legal team" in a dispute with an insurance company. I knew I needed a lawyer and after days of calling dozens of lawyers nobody called back. Then at 7:00 at night I get a call from Chad as he sweezed in one more thing to get a hold of me. Less then a week later I was in his of...fice and he got straight to work finalizing the paperwork I had brought in. My claim took almost a year and as soon as Chad knew something I could tell he called me right away. It took patience but Chad saw it through and we won the settlement. All the lawyers in the surrounding area decided this wasn't worthwhile but Chad doesnt miss details and he wanted to at least hear me out. I would be in a much different place without his help and he even admitted early on that this wasn't his typical field so the fact that he succeeded is a testament to his dedication and litigation know how. Chad will have your back, even when no one else will.

Good, knowledgeable attorney who regularly communicated with this client

My experience with Chad was great. Not only did he secure a great result for the case, but it was everything leading up to that result that was even better. He kept in constant contact with me and kept me abreast of the latest with my consumer rights case. He was knowledgeable of the issues with my c...ase and how best to approach it. And any time I needed to contact him, he picked up the phone or responded to my email. Chad was dependable throughout the entire process and he fought for a reasonable settlement. He went above and beyond while working on this case. I appreciate his efforts and will consider using him in the future for any of my legal needs.
