I retained Mr. Chadband to go against my former husband in a custody case involving our two minor children. My former husband was very unhappy over the results of our divorce and the fact that I received the majority of timesharing, although he never bothered to visit the children. He was actually upset over the child support he had been ordered to pay. He filed to have my children removed from my custody and given to him, in that he "dreamed" up lies about me and my lifestyle. Well, Mr. Chadband was able to see through him and finally, when we got to Court, Mr. Chadband made a complete fool of my former husband. He finally got my ex to admit that I was a fantastic, loving mother who always put her children and their welfare before my own. He just did not want to pay child support. Instead he chose to take me back to Court, pay an attorney a substantial amount of money for representing him and his lies and in the long run, had to reimburse me for my attorney's fees for Mr. Chadband. I would surely recommend this attorney to anyone who needs serious sincere help with basically, any type of case involving children, time sharing, custody, child support, etc. I found him to be very knowledgeable, upfront and honest in what he says. He does not sit down with you and tell you what he "thinks" or "hopes" will happen. He tells you what will happen, as long as what you have told him is the truth to start with. Very pleased and would use his services again. His staff, although small, are very kind, considerate of your feelings and you can tell that they are "loyal" to their boss. The atmosphere in the office is like "home". Don't think you will be disappointed. I do see some bad reviews here about this man, but that usually happens when they don't get what they believe they should. Always the attorney's fault. Always. But not true. Give his office a call. You will not regret it, I promise.
Attorney Chadband did exactly as he told me he would do. He negotiated an excellent settlement for me. He is confident, skilled and came through for me with exactly what he said he could do for me.
Do not hire this sleazy dirt bag! I wish I could give negative five stars He claims to be a child support attorney that fights for women and children’s rights and then turns right around and defends the scummiest dead beat dads on the planet for beating women! He is the lowest of the low, and by far one the most disgusting attorneys out there. If you want proof just look up his client James Anderson in the online Polk county clerk of court. It’s all public record. This guy abandoned his wife and kids in 2019, hasn’t seen or spoken to his kids or financially supported them since then and ended up getting arrested on January 25 for beating and strangling some other woman that he is cheating on his wife with and Mr. Chadband is happy to represent him. Gross!! Real stand up guy. Love those standards and values. Really makes you wonder if he would purposely sabotage your child support or custody case if he’s perfectly comfortable representing garbage like that!! My next call is to all the news stations. The public needs to be informed and protected!!
I hired this attorney for a child custody case, I never received any copies of the Motions that my ex wife's attorney filed, or any court responses that Mr. Chadband filed, I never received any copies of the court visitation agreements from his office. I was also always told he was waiting to hear back from the court, or the opposing Attorney, and he would call me to let me know the outcome, he never did. He never responded to a motion my ex wife's attorney filed that allowed her to get custody of my children, and he had 2 opportunities to respond. He never presented any evidence I had to the court, showing my ex wife's drug abuse, abandonment and neglect of my children, and now she has them living with her thanks to this Attorney.
First he uses scare tactics to convince you he's in high demand. He's all talk no action! He did nothing that he promised. No depositions of the other party. I didn't even have 12 hours notice that I was going to trial. Mary in his office said there was a schedule mix up & he never reviewed the case. He can't even remember my name or my kids names. In which he made me "loose custody of." He choked in court, it was beyond embarrassing. Along with having to listen to my ex-husband and his attorney lie after lie about me as a mother. I was the only one caring for our children and he was the absence Father & abusive! Do yourself a favor and do research on a attorney before you hastily hire anyone! The man has already been in trouble with the Florida Bar Association. He needs to be disbarred & never allowed back into a court room to represent anyone! HE'S POINT BLANK A THIEF. He will play on your fears to steal your hard earned money & will lose! I lost everything because of this man and now am homeless...
Hired Larry for an emergency custody arrangement as my Grandson had been injured by his mother. He said we had to file immediately "while the iron was hot". Told me he was at the courthouse and would file for us before he went into court for another case. Ten days later found out he'd filed nothing on our behalf. Three days after that, found out through a family member that a custody hearing was held, not only did he not attend on our behalf, he didn't know anything about it. Everyone he said he had meetings and phone calls with, did not know who he was and had never been contacted by him about our case. My ex husband got custody of both my Grandchildren, as the state was unaware we were fighting for them. Our names were never even mentioned as perspective placement. We live out of state and were completely dependant on our attorney to be our voice. Luckily enough I used my discover card, so will be reimbursed the $2,500 that we paid him, as no services were rendered. Discover said they have lawyers that actually do their job, and apologized to me for the ordeal he put us through.
MY fiancé and I hired this man back in 2011 for a wrongfull felony charge my fiancé had gotten, my fiancé got jail time 30days work lease and probation.... WHAT THAT 2500 DOLLARS DONE WOW..... guess what now he failed one piss test for pot and has been in prision since aug.17,2015 and his release date isent till 2017....
Hired him for a divorce and custody case. I had to do most of the work. He did not prep me before going to court and when I asked questions about what to do and what was appropriate attire, he responded to wear something conservative. My only saving grace in that case was that my ex and his attorney were complete idiots and unprepared.
He came dangerously close to causing me to lose custody of my son. His assistant lost all of my information. He charged me 1500 dollars, which he said was a flat rate and he didn't charge by the hour, but then he did nothing, and then ended up firing me as a client with the reason that he was not able to contact me.............hello......his assistant lost my information, and when I would call, she was rude and said that I didn't need to keep calling because they would call me when they had further information. He seems like a great attorney on the initial consultation, but as soon as you pay him, his whole attitude changes. He almost ruined my whole life..........by almost messing up my whole custody case...........I only found out there was a pending hearing because after Chadband went to court to have a judge sign off that he didn't have to represent me anymore, I was served papers by a person that serves court papers. Worst attorney in Polk County. I pray that he finds a new career or that people read this and take it seriously and don't use him. He does not deserve your money, and he will not be supportive during the difficult time you are facing in a legal conflict.
We hired and paid him 2,500 dollars to file a custody case for our son regarding his daughters. He said 7 days he'd have them. He said he was fileing she would be served. A month later our son was served by her his office never filed. Said he was calling his private invistorgator never did. He told us to invistagate. He cancelled our first court hearing not telling us and said oh that was for visatation then ten months later we went to court he tried to cancel judge declined she had no lawyer and no witnesses our son had seven witness attend. Chadband told me to go home and take a valum he asked our son if her breast were real. She wrote and signed our sons name on a threat letter which she sent to the judge via email and chadband saiD the email was being checked and shed go to jail a total lie. At court he refused to call one witness for our son. Took him a week of our calls for him to say he gave her the children. He never gave our son any paperwor k. Etc

He does not deserve your money, and he will not be supportive during the difficult time you are facing in a legal conflict.
We hired and paid him 2,500 dollars to file a custody case for our son regarding his daughters. He said 7 days he'd have them. He said he was fileing she would be served. A month later our son was served by her his office never filed. Said he was calling his private invistorgator never did. He told us to invistagate. He cancelled our first court hearing not telling us and said oh that was for visatation then ten months later we went to court he tried to cancel judge declined she had no lawyer and no witnesses our son had seven witness attend. Chadband told me to go home and take a valum he asked our son if her breast were real. She wrote and signed our sons name on a threat letter which she sent to the judge via email and chadband saiD the email was being checked and shed go to jail a total lie. At court he refused to call one witness for our son. Took him a week of our calls for him to say he gave her the children. He never gave our son any paperwor k. Etc
