I don't know if I can say enough about Mr. Olsen. He was recommended by a friend but she didn't say much about him other than he was "a good lawyer". Well, I will tell you that he is an amazing lawyer and a wonderful man. He didn't call or email me unless he had information that he felt he needed to share with me quickly to keep my costs down. He was always honest with me, even when it was brutal, and he kept me calm. I am not always the easiest person to work with. Now I want to tell you about Rose. Rose is Mr. Olsen's paralegal. She is the first voice you hear when you call the office and she is a breath of fresh air. Now, if someone saying "bless your heart" to you offends you, be ready to be offended. But she does it in such a loving way. After my divorce, on the same day, she called to check on me. I will probably continue to call the office just to say hello to Rose.

I hired Mr. Olsen to guide and assist me with a divorce. Mr. Olsen was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He provided expert advise and made a difficult situation as simple and smooth as possible. He explained what to expect and thoroughly answered all my questions throughout the process. He and his assistant were both exceptionally responsive and I'm extremely grateful for their help. Mr. Olsen has my highest endorsement.

After interviewing a few attorneys, I knew Chad would be the one I hired right after our first meeting. He was knowledgable in military law and that made all the difference in the outcome of my divorce. I was very nervous and his expertise, guidance, and professionalism made all the difference in my future and that of my children. He was quick, organized, and always answered my calls and emails promptly. My divorce ended up uncontested, with the best outcome I could ask for in a difficult time. His advice and handling of every word and detail on the decree changed the course of my future for the best, and gave me the peace I needed during such a sad time. I would recommend him to all whether military or not. He cares about people.

Chad did an excellent job working with me through my divorce. His advise helped make the process as smooth, quick and efficient. I feel that he provided the necessary sounding board to make clear and fair decisions allowing me to not have a contentious relationship with the Ex-spouse. He was clear in what each decision would result in and what were the positives and negatives in choosing a particular path. He was quick to respond to my questions and was typically straight to the point. I am appreciative for his frank opinion and understanding my goals. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chad for assistance in a collaborative divorce.

A must hire! Divorce is a messy and very emotional process, but Chad's professionalism, guidance, empathy, and care made it possible for me to understand and more easily make decisions that were beneficial to all. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew that I would be well taken care of despite the daunting legal aspects of my divorce. Chad went through extraordinary lengths to assist in finding collaborative divorce lawyers, filtering necessary information for both parties, detailing the financial aspects, coordinating and synchronizing meeting times and place, and finally partnering on the day of court appearance to ensure the paperwork and judge approvals were complete. Overall Chad gave me a sense of calmness and focus, allowing me the opportunity to make proper decisions for my future.

Chad was recommended to me by a friend and I forever grateful. I was in a complicated legal situation and he listened, guided and followed up to make sure I was completely cared for. Chad was level-headed and kept things on track in an extremely emotional time. I would highly recommend him!

I was so impressed with the way Chad listened to me and handled my case in a caring and professional manner. He understood what I wanted, pointed out the legal issues and discussed my case with me thoroughly before determining the strategy used. He was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, proficient in his field efficient and humble. I'm grateful for his expertise and for the outcome. I highly recommend him!!

I recently went through a divorce and I had a friend that referred me to Chad. I was overwhelmed and unsure what to expect, but he was excellent at explaining the process and giving me the advice I needed to have a pretty much uncontested divorce. I would highly recommend hiring Chad as your attorney!

From our initial meeting I knew I had chosen the right man to represent me and my interests. The first thing he wanted to know was what I wanted out of this law suit, and what I was willing to settle for. He then worked out a strategy to accomplish an outcome within those parameters. He kept me infomed as to what I should expect procedurally. At the outset Chad told me that usually he was better prepared than his opponent. I found this to be true. Although I didn't get all that I wanted he was able bring this suit to a close while maintaining our shared values. His integrity is without question. I would seek his counsel again.

Me. Olsen was the second lawyer whom I had to retain for a messy divorce. Whereas, my first lawyer failed to accomplish certain key problems with my divorce Mr. Olsen came in with confidence and caringly cleaned up a nasty mess of a divorce. I will forever be grateful that Mr. Olsen cared and was competent to take care of this awful mess I was dealing with. I would recommend Mr. Olsen, of Bray, Chappell, Patterson & Olsen, Inc. for your family law needs, but most importantly for divorce matters. I’m addition, Mr. Olsen is current in military family law. It is unbelievable the peace and relief which comes from hiring a competent lawyer. Most importantly, it is so unbelievable that I have finally found peace and relief directly through the work I hired Mr. Olsen to do for me. Need a divorce lawyer? Mr. Chad Olsen is your man.

Mr. Olsen assisted me with a DRO back in August of 2018. My family and I were very pleased with the effort and professionalism that Mr. Olsen provided us with. I would highly recommend his services and I also will seek his help if needed again.

Choosing an attorney was a decision I made after 6 months of research. I spoke with 5 or 6 Family Practice Attorneys, listened to recommendations from attorney friends, attended seminars, joined support groups, consulted family and finally chose. From an emotional perspective, I had grave concerns about an adversarial divorce that would drag out and ruin me financially -- there was little hope for a mutually satisfactory resolution. My decision to hire Chad Olsen was one of the best decisions anyone could ever have advised me to do. He is honest, straight forward, trustworthy and he turned this into a 70 day process with almost no strife. I couldn't be more grateful for Chad's empathetic, professional, calm approach. Knowing what I know now, I would have made the same decision 100 times over and will continue to utilize this attorney for my Family Practice needs, without reservation. I would highly suggest you do the same.
