Good Lawyer gone bad
We have had Chad as our lawyer a few times. The first two cases turned out favorable to our case. Unfortunately our last case was set for plea on March 25th.

Very enthusiastic!
We hired Mr. Oliver about a month ago to take over a public defender's place. So far Mr. Oliver has done more preparing this case than the other lawyer has done for the last year.

Great Service
My service with Mr. Oliver was timely and acceptable for my Son's case. He is a professional person who cares about your situation. Does not lead you down a mysterious path but keeps you informed of what to expect. I appreciate his honesty and will recommend his firm in the future.
