Lawyers That Fight For You!
 

Our Firm

Chapman And Associates is dedicated to helping you achieve the results that you desire. Each case is different from the next, yet we strive to provide a consistent and exceptional level of legal expertise and client management.

At Chapman And Associates the client is number one. We don't look at the file numbers, we look at the client and tailor our practice around your goals and expectations. It doesn't matter if you are a single individual, a medium size business or a mega insurance carrier. We listen to you and provide legal expertise to win!

Yes, our firm is centered around one driving goal: to provide the results you deserve and expect. From our receptionist to our shareholder, we are looking out for your best interest.

Case Management

Unlike many of the larger firms, Chapman And Associates has built a strong collegiate environment where all of the firm's attorneys are seasoned in many of the practice areas. Senior associates continually review the progress of every case while support staff are utilized to reduce the cost involved with litigation. The result is a virtually unbeatable team.

We work fervently and aggressively to resolve claims before and at all stages of litigation. Each case is managed proactively, working with clients to develop successful case management strategies. We meticulously evaluate the complaint, prepare appropriate pleadings, investigate each element of the complaint and systematically and diligently analyze all of the legal issues to achieve favorable results. We are highly skilled in the areas of investigation, resolution, conflict management and litigation.

Client Service Relations

Treating each client with integrity and responsiveness is second nature to our staff. Often legal issues can suddenly arise that require immediate attention. Therefore we are committed to remaining accessible and providing clients with an immediate response.  We understand that exceptional personal service and communication between clients and their attorneys is key.

With capabilities and depth beyond our size, we provide the expertise and benefits of a large firm with the personal and caring touch of a family business.

Our unwavering allegiance to our clients and desire to achieve exceptional results has earned us high marks from our clients (3.92 out of 4). The longevity of many of the firm's clients is something which we value greatly.

Billing & Cost Efficiencies

Fair billing practices is the cornerstone of our firm and is something that we built our reputation on. Our dedication and ability to succeed within a reasonable budget has lead to the longevity of many of the firm's clients.

Remaining efficient and cost-effective is a key priority and part of our promise to provide the highest legal standards.

We work with each client individually to develop a billing arrangement that best suits their needs. Hourly billing is our traditional method; however, alternative billing arrangements are also available such as flat-fee and contingent arrangements depending on the type of case.

All of the firm’s attorneys and support staff are sensitive to the cost of litigation and therefore work efficiently to resolve legal issues. In an effort to reduce fees, we utilize paralegals, clerks and associates whenever possible. While principals monitor every case, they are only utilized and billed when necessary (i.e. trial, settlements, depositions, strategic developments, etc.)

Unlike some firms, who prolong litigation, bill for unnecessary work or use high rate lawyers to increase the bill, Chapman And Associates strive to reduce the cost of litigation. We do not bill for administrative services and do not inflate the cost of expenses incurred. We have developed longstanding relationships with third party vendors to ensure we receive the most favorable pricing structure for our clients.

Many of our clients are insurance carriers, litigation and risk management companies and third party administrators whose billing arrangements we are happy to work with.
