When it comes to the law and your back is up against the wall, you want Norgard Norgard & Chastang standing between you and the vast resources of the State of Florida. I was falsely accused of a crime by a victim so cool that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. One of my first four lawyers told me this case most likely will be resolved based on the perceptions of the Jury. I look in the mirror and see a big mean looking dude complete with Tatoos looking back at me. I think, "Perception, this can't be good". Whatever happened to the truth, relevant facts, evidence (direct and/or real circumstantial evidence not disjointed facts woven into a convenient fabrication). In a year my lawyer was changed 4 times and what started out as a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge was enhanced to 3 felonies and I was looking at 15 years in prison (not because of new evidence or new witnesses but because a State Attorneys Office Investigator, a year after the fact, was able to get an enhanced statement from the "victim"). Now the State could close the misdemeanor case and reopen it as a felony case apparently because the Assistant State Attorney felt she could overcome the lack of evidence with perception. For me all looked lost until that day Mr. Norgard and Mr. Chastang walked into the courtroom and literally took over my case, much to the chagrin of a protesting Assistant State Attorney. Their appearance, their demeanor, their style all exuded a quiet yet unmistakeable confidence that told you when it came to law these were two bad dudes who weren't beholding to anyone other than their own moral code. When the time came to go to court. They were prepared for everything from the Jury Selection up through the trial. They knew exactly what to say, how to say it and when to say it. They always maintained decorum while making a point and dealing with the court. They were ready for and prevented and/or corrected any misstatements by the State and were able to overcome the States Perception Offence with the truth. I was found not guilty on all charges and I would without hesitation recommend these Attorneys to anyone charged with a criminal offence. These are two gentlemen who are always cordial to everyone but whose loyalty to their client is never compromised.
