An excellent, detailed and professional attorney

Maitre Chone started handling a complicated and international divorce case for me in 2009 - he had to deal with both domestic and foreign issues. During this whole time, M. Chone was extremely knowledgeable, well-versed and always kept me informed regarding the status of my case. Because of the divor...ce's complicated nature, we had to go all the way to trial where M. Chone was exceptional. He also prepared me very well and I trusted him throughout the process. This is very important because he explained to me that the other party might want to "catch" me saying more than I should. He caught many inconsistencies on the parties' side and addressed all the pertinent issues that were brought up during the cross-examinations. I highly recommend him.

Pierre has all the qualities of a good lawyer

Pierre is very honest and trust worthy lawyer I know him since October, 1997. He worked on my divorce and immegration cases and both were not simple cases. My divorce was foreign country divorce, he never gave me any false hope about my cases and always kept me informe about the latest developments ...of my case and I won both cases and all credit goes to Pierre. Now in my family and friends whoever need an advice or services I recomend Pierre, he is not only a very good lawyer he is a great person.
