Michael Chastaine came in my life when everything seemed to go against me. I got indicted by the FBI on a federal case in the Eastern District of California. Let's say I am not the individual that put too much trust in authorities and lawyers. Little did I know that there are stand up individual like Michael still out there. In many occasions he took time out of his personal life to meet with me, help me and guide me through such a difficult process. Not only he represented me through the whole journey, but went far beyond his duty as criminal defense attorney to assure I would get the best outcome. At the end what made him an outstanding attorney is the fact that he is a human after all, he understand that we all are and treat you like one. He has a solid reputation within the federal system and maintain good relationships with every moving part of the government. With his experience he was able to come out with the best strategy and guidance to give me the best possible outcome in my case. Highly recommended criminal defense.

Hired the Chastaine Law Firm after speaking with at least 15 different offices that didn’t want to work on my case. From the moment Liise answered the phone, I could tell this was the place I wanted to represent me. Jessica and Michael were both very knowledgeable and patient with me. Jessica was extremely positive from the first conversation. It made me comfortable all throughout the process. My motion was granted after 11 years! Thanks again to the Chastaine Law First. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney. They changed my life for the better!

Michael Chastaine and his staff are amazing. I had the chance to work with two of his lawyers, Dominick Welch and Jay Manning, who are both great lawyers as well. I was dealing with a stressful time in my life and their hard work greatly lessen that. Ultimately, they were able to get my case dismissed. TWICE. I am a Veteran and there are certain legal avenues that can be taken for Veterans. The Chastaine Law Office put forth the time and effort to explore these avenues to give me the best possible results. I am forever grateful to this team and highly recommend them if you ever find yourself in a legal problem.

I was wrongly arrested for DUI by an overzealous officer and had to work very hard to get out of the system's grip once I was in it. Jay at Chastaine worked hard, was attentive to my case, had a number of creative ideas about how to find evidence to support my case, and eventually managed to convince the DA to drop the bogus charge before it went to trial. Thank you!! Being wrongly arrested and prosecuted was a huge ordeal, but it would have been a hundred times worse if I hadn't found a great attorney.

I hired The Chastaine Law Firm to help me with a complicated expungmenet. Mr. Chastaine and his staff were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. I mainly spoke with Katrina from his office and she was great. I had two different charges that needed to be expunged and we were successful in getting them both expunged. If I were to need an attorney in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use the Chastaine Law Firm again.

I appeared in court several times with Michael Chastaine by my side. At one point, I wondered if the matter could ever be successfully resolved in my favor. Mr. Chastaine, however, remained optimistic and persevered through the tedious court process. In the end, the judge did rule in my favor. For that reason, I am grateful for Michael Chastaine’s representation and the help of the staff at the Chastaine Law Office. I’m glad I chose them to handle my legal needs.

In 2015, I contacted The Chastaine Law Office and it didn't take long for me to sincerely wish that Michael Chastaine had been the first lawyer that I had turned to over years of emotional turmoil and victimization. He was so responsive to our concerns, to our lack of knowledge, and our fears. He was knowledgeable, skilled, honest, forthright, empathetic and conscientious. While it was not possible to wipe out all that had been done to us, he completed immediate steps and guidance for future actions. I came to believe beyond any doubt that Michael Chastaine truly cared and would utilize his considerable expertise to his utmost in order to help us. I know from experience that grappling with the legal system is overwhelming and doing so without competent and compassionate legal assistance was an utterly frightening and demoralizing experience. Justice constituted a political agenda. From that past, I learned the importance of having an excellent lawyer. There are few words strong enough to express the relief I feel, knowing that Michael Chastaine will be there for me and my family. A Grateful Client

I retained the Chastaine law firm to help me with an arrest on flimsy grounds. Mike and his associate Jake got my arrest expunged from the record - and did a great job at getting everything filed to make that happen, and guiding me through the court process.

The Chastaine Law Office is the only law firm I will go to for any of my legal needs. They represented me in a recent case and achieved everything I was hoping to accomplish. Their knowledge of the law, dedication, and hard work made it possible to resolve issues I wished to leave in the past. From start to finished, they kept me informed concerning the progress of my case.

I retained Michael Chastaine to defend me against a temporary restraining order action. Having zero experience with the court system, I was terrified about what this complaint meant for me and the implications of having it granted. At our initial consultation Mr. Chastaine quickly reviewed the complaint and listened carefully to my history of events leading up to this filing, cutting to the chase of the details leading up to this event . While never guaranteeing a successful outcome, he was reassuring about being prepared and presenting a vigorous defense. In the weeks leading up the hearing, Mr. Chastaine was available by phone to talk with me when I had questions or concerns while at the same time investigating the allegations and preparing an appropriate response to file with the court. He also spent considerable time preparing me for my testimony and for the scheduled hearing. In court he was polished, articulate, and demonstrated mastery with questioning witnesses as well as court procedures and application of the law. He was successful in my defense, and I know I could not have gotten through this process without him. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael Chastaine to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I was refered to Mike Chastaine when Criminal Allegations were brought agaist me. Mike was available to me 24 hours a day until the case was successfully resolved, with all charges being dismissed by the court. Thanks for doing a Great Job.

Over the years, we have used several different lawyers due to distinctive needs we had - real estate, tax, etc. There is no question that Michael Chastaine is at the top of the list in his field. He did an excellent job winning our case. There was never a time when he was not available to take a call - even giving us his cell phone number. When faced with a criminal charge, having your lawyer available and communicative to you is probably the single most important reassurance one can have. He is the finest in his profession and we will be eternally grateful for his outstanding work.
