“Five Stars All the Way!!”

Five Stars All the Way!!!

“I want to give a big THANK YOU to the entire staff at the Chastaine Law Office for helping me resolve a very traumatic and difficult event that took place nearly 18 years ago. I feared having to face the inside of a court room ever again. My reasons were both financial and emotional. Yet, after hearing my story, they not only offered to represent me pro bono but they were kind, compassionate, non judgmental and very supportive. I can now move forward with my life and I have Jay Manning and the entire staff to thank. Words can never express my gratitude. I am and will forever be grateful to you all!”

“Over the years, we have used several different lawyers due to distinctive needs we had. There is no question that Michael Chastaine is at the top of the list in his field. He did an excellent job winning our case. There was never a time when he was not available to take a call – even giving us his cell phone number. When faced with a criminal charge, having your lawyer available and communicative to you is probably the single most important reassurance one can have. He is the finest in his profession and we will be eternally grateful for his outstanding work.”

“He was extremely skilled in cutting to the chase of the details leading up to this event and articulating a defense strategy.”

“He was extremely skilled in cutting to the chase of the details leading up to this event and articulating a defense strategy.”

“I retained Michael Chastaine to defend me against a temporary restraining order action. Having no experience with the court system, I was terrified about what this complaint meant for me and the implications of having it granted. At our initial consultation Mr. Chastaine quickly reviewed the complaint and listened carefully to my history of events leading up to this filing. He was extremely skilled in cutting to the chase of the details leading up to this event and articulating a defense strategy. While he never guaranteed a successful outcome, he was reassuring about being prepared and presenting a vigorous defense. In the weeks leading up the hearing, Mr. Chastaine was available by phone to talk with me when I had questions or concerns while at the same time investigating the allegations and preparing a comprehensive response to file with the court. He also spent considerable time with me the day before the hearing preparing me for my testimony and for the events to take place during the hearing. In court he was polished, articulate, and demonstrated mastery with questioning witnesses as well as court procedures and application of the law. He was successful in my defense, and I could not have gotten through this process without him. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael Chastaine to anyone seeking legal counsel.”
