Despite a referral from another reputable lawyer, I had a poor experience with Mr. Chatelain. During my initial meeting with him to discuss my situation, he appeared disorganized and distracted; worse, he answered at least 4 phone calls during our meeting and carried on what I'd consider confidential discussions with the callers. It was both awkward and inappropriate. I expected my lawyer to provide personal attention to my matter. Instead, he gave cookie-cutter-type of answers to my specific questions. Without going into the details, I feel Mr. Chatelain's demeanor was one of boredom and not caring too much to my individual concerns. His manner was also less than professional. While I had a positive outcome for my case, I did not have a similar positive experience with Mr. Chatelain.
I would not use his legal services again, nor would I recommend him to anyone. read more
