Great lawyer. listens and answered all my questions. Was able to get my case dismissed without having to go to court. If I ever need a lawyer again will get him again.

While inquiring a new attorney for my (high conflict) family law case I asked both family and friends for recommendations. Attorney Chatterton came highly recommended from both sides. I was immediately impressed by Attorney Chatterton during our initial consultation. Not only was I able to give ample information but also very specific details pertaining to my case that prior attorneys had dismissed my concerns for. Attorney Chatterton did not once interrupt and instead, listened intently to my concerns, and at one point asked me to continue when I thought I was taking up his time. He found my case extremely interesting. Ive now been through five years of legal representation and never has a prior attorney been able to do what Attorney Chatterton accomplished for me. With less than a week to prepare before the motion hearing, Attorney Chatterton was able to analyze my case history and represent me to the fullest, without any further hearings, or case modifications (exactly as I was hoping). I only wish I would have had his representation from the beginning. Attorney Chatterton’s professional and legal experience has provided me with secure advocacy for all my future legal needs. I will continue to look to him for guidance and recommend him to others due to his outstanding and exceptional services.

I've hired Mr.Chatterton a couple different times and have gotten only the best outcomes. Mr.Chatterton has put forth the most effort for his clients and his cases hes is a 10/10 lawyer and i highly recommend him if you have legal trouble or anything else!

Several attorneys that I went through simply refused to handle the complexities of dealing with CPS, but Patrick was not. He also handled my case concerning child support wonderfully as well. He was very compassionate and understanding and listened to what I had to say. He told me what I needed to hear and not what I wanted to hear. He was straightforward and to the point and was not afraid to stand up for my rights during court proceedings. If you need an attorney to stand up for your rights, this is the one. Highly recommend.

I hired Patrick based on the reviews that I saw from his clients and given the work he did for me, I would be doing him a disservice if I didn't write one of my own. I initially hired a different attorney to represent me in my custody case. I will refrain from mentioning names but it was an awful experience to say the least. My original attorney took the "I'm the attorney and know what's best for you" approach rather than listen to what I wanted for myself and my boys. He went as far as agreeing to terms that I explicitly disagreed with putting me in a huge hole in my case. I terminated his representation of me and was left without an attorney. Enter Patrick Chatterton. There were several reviews that seemed to paint the same picture I was in; already behind in the case. The results in the cases mentioned in other reviews were promising, so I decided to meet with Attorney Chatterton. I was forthcoming about everything that had already taken place as well as what could be expected from opposing counsel. He was not deterred in the least and seemed eager to represent me. This reaction during an initial consultation is to be expected from any attorney looking to be retained; I'm pleased to say that same vigor and enthusiasm carried over into the courtroom. He listened to what I had to say, offered advice based on his experience that was unbiased and straightforward, and presented my case exactly how I would've hoped for. Given my original attorney's "agreement", I was the plaintiff filing for sole custody (knowing I would never be awarded that), but somehow wound up with supervised parenting time at the sole discretion of the defendant, my boys' mother. Attorney Chatterton, unfazed, took over and turned things around. He was able to highlight inconsistencies in the other side's argument and ultimately obtain the result any working father could ask for. He took a potential nightmare situation and got me the time with my boys I wanted, despite the aforementioned adversity as well as questionable ethics from opposing counsel. I would not only recommend Attorney Chatterton to anyone in a difficult custody case, I would hire him again myself if the need ever arises.

Attorney Chatterton handled my divorce and later an alimony dispute. Each time, he not only fought for my best interests, but he also showed compassion and concern for what I was experiencing. He kept me informed of every step of the process. I’d recommend him to anyone and if I ever have need of legal services in Michigan again, he will be the person I call.

Mr. Chatteron handled my divorce case and has had a few consults with me after the divorce. At every turn he and his office have been incredibly professional and knowledgeable. While the divorce itself wasn't too contentious some of the issues were. Mr. Chatterton did a great job showing me what my options were and the advice I received was very solid.

I hired Mr. Chatterton for what turned out to be long custody battle, he put a lot of time and effort into my case. Patrick was very responsive and though in all aspect of my case which included the State Appeals Court. He is a strong Attorney when needed, knew when not to be and his advice was always spot on. His confidant and compassionate nature was just what I needed and he didn't hesitate to be straight forward when necessary. I am currently still having Mr. Chatterton take care of all my legal needs and would not consider recommending another Attorney.

I have Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and have been on four different MS drugs which have not slowed down the progression. I am about to try an aggressive treatment and needed a Durable Power of Attorney for Medical and Financial. Attorney Chatterton and his staff were helpful and compassionate. I would highly recommend Attorney Patrick Chatterton for your legal needs.

I hired Patrick L. Chatterton in regards to obtaining full custody of my daughter. He is very knowledgeable and was able to help me get exactly what I asked for. Mr. Chatterton is very honest and will tell you exactly what he thinks and not just what you want to hear. My case was over much faster then I had imagined. I was very impressed throughout the whole process. He and his team are very professional, courteous and helpful. I highly recommend Patrick Chatterton and will definitely be using him again in the future if needed. A huge thank you to Mr. Chatterton!

Attorney Chatterton was hired to represent our son in a child custody case against the Mother and her Attorney, Anthony Pappadakis. The first attorney that my son hired lacked the skill, experience, dedication and aggression that was required to go up against Pappadakis. Our son ended up with basic parenting time and was paying more than most fathers in child support even though he was only making $12/hr at the time. After careful consideration and interviewing many attorneys, we chose to go with Attorney Chatterton to clarify our previous debacle. It was the best decision we made. He proved to be very capable of handling the situation against Pappadakis (an aggressive attorney who encourages fighting over every little detail just to inflate his cost)! Attorney Chatterton fought hard to represent and protect our son…. And the resolution…. Our son now has 50/50 custody of his son and we commend Patrick Chatterton who displayed the expertise, compassion, dedication and yet the aggression needed to challenge the opposition. What I have learned through this ordeal is that the right attorney can make or break your case. If you find yourself needing a very experienced attorney, look no further!

Mr. Chatterton is an amazing attorney. I'm still not sure how he convinced the prosecuting attorney to reduce the charges from negligent discharge of a fire arm, (which is a misdemeanor) to trespassing (wear the bullet was the trespasser) and then all charges were totally dismissed. He is a great choice if you're looking for an attorney that will listen to you and then fight on your behalf. I will highly recommend you contact him as soon as possible so he has time to build your defense.
