My husband and I have used him for multiple situations and I’d recommend him to anyone!!! He is very clear/straight forward with you about everything, he makes sure to keep you updated and informed In a very timely manner, he always works toward the best possible outcome for your situation and his assistant is so nice and informative. 10/10 stars!! I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us.Posted on Bella The MastiffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for a great attorney to hire, Patrick Chatterton is definitely somebody you should call. Professional,knowledgeable and couldn’t be any happier with the help that I received. Thank you again.Posted on Gabriella GarlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently retained Attorney Chatterton for two different cases. These cases for the complexity and content matter most attorneys wouldn't want to touch with a 10 foot pole. Attorney Chatterton heard facts, went over the the substantial mountain of evidence and documentation presented and set to work. Was able to get an order of protection extended on one case and my child out of horrific immediate danger very quickly. His due diligence and integrity is way beyond that of any attorney I have ever met. Honorable is not a word I'd often associate with litigators but Attorney Chatterton embodies that. Him and his office staff are incredibly professional and great to work with. I have yet to see him fight in court but with two upcoming hearings I will be happy to update after I do have him represent me here soon. I have heard he is fierce in the court room and I would not want anyone else to be fighting for my baby or I, especially given the gravity of the situation. He is a well connected attorney who knows the law. He doesn't need to resort to questionable tactics or insults. He uses his intelligence and knowledge of law to get the job done. After a not so great experience prior I am so happy I found this firm. He and Tracy make me feel like we are finally safe and like we have an army ready and willing to stand and fight behind us. If you are browsing hundreds of reviews for all of the local lawyers like I did, pining to ensure you make the right choice, stop at this one. You won't regret your decision. Attorney Chatterton is the attorney you want to fight for you. I'll update my review after my upcoming hearing to add my experience with representation during a hearing. But again, if you need a sign it is this, retain Mr. Chatterton. Best decision I have made in the last 3 years regarding these matters. So I just realized I never updated my review. I have had at this point attorney Chatterton physically represent me in court on several occasions. He fights and he fights hard but he also fights with honor and dignity and by the law. I recommend listening to him because he does know what he is talking about and he will fight for you when the time comes and when he knows the law supports it. He especially cares about the welfare of children, stays child focused, and is a physical strength next to you in court. I would not want anyone else representing my little baby girl. I know he will fight for her. It might feel frustrating at times because he doesn't do exactly what you want but he's doing what he knows will win and what is supported by law and if you ask he will help you with advice. I cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me and for my daughter so far and for what he continues to do and for the fight I know he will put up for her. He is fierce in the courtroom and intelligent as a whip and a domineering presence. His extensive history in law practice very apparent in the courtroom. He is exactly who you want representing you and your children. I am so glad that I found him and his firm.Posted on Chris HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very pleased with my experience working with Attorney Chatterton! He is honest, knowledgeable, hardworking, and dedicated to ensuring a fair outcome for his clients. Attorney Chatterton represented me through a long and contentious divorce and custody process. He was honest and straightforward from our first interaction, explaining the legal process and likely outcome based on his extensive experience. Attorney Chatterton will personally handle every aspect of your case, and aggressively fight for your rights in court. The end result was better than I had hoped for, Attorney Chatterton underpromised and overdelivered.Posted on jeff middletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
