James is an amazing attorney and will do exactly as he says. You tell him what your goal is and he will tell you straight up if they are achievable and if not what he can do so you know what to expect. I can’t say enough good about him but if you need a kickass attorney that you can be honest with because he won’t judge you then he is your man I don’t think he could have made things any smoother for me. Hands down my go to guy. thanks James Chatto

After receiving a DWI citation, I received a card in the mail about James Chatto's services. After consulting with him, I knew that he was the right person to help me improve my future. Not only was he very attentive to all my calls and text messages, he managed to get my charges lessened to a careless driving citation. He answered all my questions, made me feel at ease and handled my case with a professional manner. No matter what degree of DWI charge you get, it can greatly impact your future job prospects and through James' help, I was able to open up more options for employment. He charges a fair, flat rate and sticks by your side and helps you navigate what would otherwise be a very confusing and scary situation. I would recommend James' services to anyone who has been charged with a DWI. We all make mistakes and James can help you get your life back on track.

Mr. Chatto, in an unfavorable situation, more than exceeded expectations in a DWI case. I can not recommend him enough, he will put in the time and effort to get the best possible outcome. I would recommend him to anybody in a similar situation, and it is difficult to put into words how grateful I am.

I was referred to James Chatto by a family friend/lawyer who was too close to my family to comfortably represent me. Considering the source of recommendation I had no reservation seeking James out. He did not let me down whatsoever. James let me know clearly what I was facing, what my options were, and he stood by me. He was knowledgeable and wise. He demanded the truth be apparent on all sides and defended based on truth. He is a man of integrity, he is thoroughly versed in his profession, he demonstrates compassion regardless of the situation, you can witness his passion for what he does, and you can trust that he will do the work he is entrusted to do.

I had serious charges and was looking at minimal of 5 years prison. Attorney James R. Chatto was referred to me from a friend and he changed my life indefinitely. From beginning to end James Chatto was very professional and informative. He exceeds most lawyers response time because he sincerely cares about the client and their future. I have heard a lot of stories from other people about hiring a lawyer and being stressed out because the lawyer doesn't return their calls or keep them informed until the day before they're supposed to go to court. I hope I don't need a lawyer in the future but if I do it's going to be James Chatto he is worth every penny and is as professional as they come.
