My very creative, even precocious, six-year spun a tale at school that caught the attention of a school employee, who felt compelled to contact authorities. CPS and the local police descended upon me as though I were a seasoned criminal. I was served a restraining order any association with my children. I was stunned. This sort of thing doesn't happen in the U.S. My spouse was away on business, and with no family to help, the children were handed over to a third party. I had done nothing wrong, yet I was being treated like a criminal. I was angry, hurt, and feeling vulnerable. I knew I needed a lawyer.
I reviewed rating sites and identified three possibilities. After speaking to each of attorneys on my list, one clearly stood out: Martin Jones of Chastaine and Jones. I called Mr. Jones on Sunday. He called me back the same day. Whereas the other attorneys talked about all the horrible things that could happen to me should I not hire them, Mr. Jones spoke in a reassuring manner. He outlined a strategy that I was highly satisfied with and offered an appealing fee structure. And...he delivered--even exceeded my expectations. The case was dismissed.
Mr. Jones and his team did an outstanding job. They were excellent communicators, and always accessible. They were remarkably supportive. They are consummate professionals who possess outstanding legal skill, but they also are excellent in the people-skill department, as well.
I highly recommend this firm without reservation.

Recently, a close family member was facing a potential legal challenge that would have a severe impact on his future. He was interviewed by local law enforcement. No charges were filed, but the potential for future charges remained. His mother contacted the law firm of Chastain-Jones and was referred to James Ryan. James was brilliant.
He met for over an hour, listening to their concerns and fears and going over the facts. He was clear, concise, and a great communicator. He was retained as counsel for our relative and went right to work. Within a week, he had worked his way through the system and announced there were no pending charges. Our family member was free to continue living his life and building his career.
If you find yourself in legal trouble, you could not make a better choice than to retain James Ryan from Chastain-Jones. I know we will.

Martin Jones was a great hope to me when our options were limited, and the resolution seemed impossible. His defense against false accusations was perfect. He and his team explained everything in detail to me. I had an understanding of what was going on in my case. His calm and empathetic demeanor and all the staff at Chastaine Jones gave emotional support to me and my family. We could have lost everything, but thanks to Mr.Jones that I am at home with my family. If you need an attorney, these are your guys.
