Be very cautious when choosing an attorney: that "officer of the court" with whom one must be totally (self) assured will protect their 'better interests' as if it were the attorneys' own interests'. I only wish that a prior client of Mr. Quaid would have alerted me (via this review board).
We were charged fees for services not rendered: several (3) unsigned motions which were submitted to the clerks' office... but were not decided upon (by a Judge) due to "accidental" signature omission. I do have evidence/proof of my allegations. I have nothing good to say about my experience with this man.

I was referred to Chuck by another attorney, who said he was one of the best and that he was known for his professionalism, results, and integrity. Chuck is an excellent attorney and knows every detail of the case that he is working on. He is never anything less than professional and fully prepared. He does not waist your time or your money. He is quick, concise, and to the point, but he is kind and caring at the same time - a very difficult balance to maintain. He always looks out for the best interest of his clients and is five steps ahead of me (and I am a worrier) and the opposition, so that says quite a bit.
Without attempt, he made the opposing counsel look like she was an unprepared child playing dress up in Mommy's clothes compared to him when we were forced to go to court against a large "high powered law firm" that my ex-husband paid EIGHT times as much money for and he got far less results in court than I did. My first ex later admitted he was embarrassed by the lack of professionalism the partner at his firm showed in comparison to Chuck - especially in court because we were so well prepared. In comparison to us, it literally looked like they had just shown up that morning without any preparation. The judge was even restraining himself from laughing under his breath at the differences because of the inadequacies Chuck so brightly brought to light. We both had five and a half months to prepare; however, it showed that Chuck had wisely used that time to work on the case so that we would not have any surprises, bumps, or bruises along the way. His courtroom presence was nothing less than stellar. I have been questioned many times, but no one can hold a candle to Chuck's rapid fire, on-your-toes method of questioning.
Unfortunately, I am a repeat customer, he doesn't offer a discount for multiple divorces, and I have sent over a half a dozen friends to him over the last several years for divorce and custody issues; however, none of us could be more pleased with the services that we received, so none of us can complain about anything except our ex's which is our own doing.
He worked with me for months on my second case as well, going through my case with the understanding, care, and compassion of a big brother. He always had my best interest at heart. We were given one curve ball after another by the opposing counsel and Chuck handled them all like the consummate professional that he is, giving me adequate time to recover before we settled (I had an injury from domestic abuse that was still being treated under my ex's insurance).
He is the type of person that completely restores your faith in the legal field and makes you speak up whenever someone tells a lawyer joke at a party. I am truly blessed to have found an honest, diligent attorney who is also personal and professional. You don't receive any less from his staff either. They made two horrible experiences as pleasant and easy as possible. I knew that with Chuck on the job, I did not have to worry about anything because he had everything I could possibly anticipate and more already under control. I just can not say enough good things about him.
I HIGHLY recommend Chuck without reservation and I have multiple times already. My only mistake is that I didn't call him sooner! I'm happily married to a wonderful man now. Chuck is a great person and a fabulous attorney. If you have any family law needs, he is the person to call.
