Brian is a legal expert, fearless and direct. When he is cross-examining the other party, this is great. Just be prepared, because he is going to be equally direct with you. For me, this is a plus — I would much rather be schooled by my attorney than the judge. I was divorced when my youngest was six months old, and I have been in and out of court for almost 18 years in multiple counties. Of all of the lawyers I have worked with, Brian would be my top choice to represent me in the future.

Brian is amazing. Suddenly embroiled in a nightmare of a divorce with unsavory and dishonest attorneys at every turn, Brian worked to repair the damage done by my unscrupulous and unethical previous attorneys and get my case back on track. Brian’s intellect, resourcefulness, and vast knowledge in everything law makes him the ” Dr. House” of the legal world. However, what has impressed me the most is his high moral character and incredibly ethical nature. While one might worry that a lawyer who holds ethics in such high regard might lack the “killer instinct” in the courtroom, nothing could be further from the truth. Brian has been able to consistently come out on top in the courtroom and do so with the evident admiration of the judges and even the opposing counsel. Never pushy or out simply to make an extra dollar, Brian always makes me feel safe in the knowledge that he has my best interests at heart. I would, and have, recommended Brian to friends and associates. In fact, he is the only attorney of any that I have dealt with to date that I could possibly recommend. The legal system is tricky, chaotic, and often imperfect. I rest easier knowing that I have Brian beside me to navigate through the inevitably chaotic waters and get me and my children safely to the other side.

My experience with Brian Chase was absolutely amazing! He is so knowledgeable and helped me to figure out exactly what was best for my situation. Every time I leave his office I have so much more clarity on my legal issues! He is honest whether you like it or not and he knows exactly what’s best legally! I am so grateful that I found Brian Chase!!

I spoke with Brian today via a phone consultation. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable in his areas of law. Although we decided that litigation was not the way to go for me, I will definitely recommend him. He took the time to explain the ins and outs of my particular situation, and that was greatly appreciated. Both he and his staff are very punctual. They always answered emails and messages within a few hours.

I first met Brian 15 years ago when I needed a lawyer to represent me regarding a domestic violence issue with an ex-husband. My son was 3 at the time. Brian brilliantly handled my case with astute knowledge of the law and with compassion for me and my son. My son has special needs and unfortunately, his father tried many times for over a decade to not assist with the many complications from having such a child. Each time I needed Brian over the next 15 years for issues pertaining to custody, child support, passport issues, travelling issues and treatments, he was there. I trust him completely because he has NEVER let me down. He is honest, forthright, compassionate, intelligent, dependable and funny! He has a great way of putting a terrible situation into a logical mindset with a goal that is acceptable and attainable. Many times, I felt overwhelmed by the many times I’ve needed to go through the court process, but Brian made it manageable and gave me hope. Even though my son is now 18, due his special needs, there are still custody and financial issues and Brian, once again, is there with the knowledge of the specialty laws surrounding unusual circumstances and still giving sage advice on how to intelligently go forward. I have been incredibly lucky to find Brian all those years ago and I’m still thankful I know a patient, dependable, and ethical lawyer to suggest to others struggling in family legal issues. I HIGHLY recommend Brian for your legal issues.

I contacted Brian’s office via email and was sitting face-to-face within 5 days. Excellent lawyer, knows his stuff. He is ethical, fair, and expeditious. No fluff or jargon and answered emails within the same day if he was able. Explains everything very well and answered all questions thoroughly. He is professional with timely follow through. Everything was done and signed in 18 days. Wow! Need I say anything more?

Brian helped my husband in dealing with his ex-wife and college age child support demands. Brian’s common sense solution to provide my husband’s college age son a check for an amount calculated based on the agreement was brilliant. We had been paying his ex-wife, which led to more and more demands and arguments. Brian’s solution got rid of the problem, while complying with the law. I wish we had gone to him many year’s prior when we his ex was dragging him to court every year with more and more demands–that didn’t really go anywhere, but cost us a lot of money. He is a very sensible attorney that really wants to help his clients. And he got it done for a very reasonable fee.

I have nothing but great things to say about Brian Chase and my experience with him and his office! The timely responses from both Brian and his assistant, Brittany, gave me a genuine feeling that clients and potential clients are important and cared for here! I set up a consultation for a day/time that was very accommodating to my schedule, something I appreciate! I live out of town and drove close to 2 hours for my appointment and I was NOT disappointed! It is abundantly clear that this man is knowledgeable in the law! He was very straight forward and direct, but also perfectly personable. I had ALL of my concerns addressed and questions answered with honesty and confidence…you really get the feeling he has done this for awhile and knows the ropes. I left the office with clarity and none of the nervousness I had when I arrived. I’ve already recommended him to a few friends and family. Definitely someone you would want to have by your side during these overwhelming and stressful life situations!

Brian Chase has helped me through a number of divorce/family law related issues and I highly recommend. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and competent, and he was very compassionate which meant a lot when dealing with these issues. I’m grateful for his guidance and expertise and would recommend to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney.

We have worked with Brian for years now and find him to be a very honest, thorough and competent attorney. I hate having to deal with legal matters, but it definitely alleviates the anxiety to have him at my side. I recommend him without hesitation – great guy.

If you need a divorce attorney, look no further. Brian Chase is the best! He is knowledgeable, smart, experienced, kind and as a bonus, a really nice guy. He represented me in a long, drawn-out divorce case and provided expert legal counsel and a voice of reason during a very emotional and draining process. Once, while in court, Brian stood before the judge and presented my case in such an impressive way that one of the audience members sought him out and asked him to represent her boyfriend in his divorce case! He was that good. I will always be grateful for Brian and all that he has done for me during a very difficult time. He made me feel safe and there is no higher praise.

Very professional and up front. He is very sharp and is detail oriented. He gets back to you in a timely manner and is quick in answering his emails. He is very accurate about his anticipated charges and does not try to rip you off. I actually live in Alameda County and was told to get an attorney in Alameda County but decided to go with him anyway because during the interview process with him, I was so impressed. I know he also represented a friend of a friend (that’s how I got his name), they were very impressed with him also. Going to an attorney is like going to a doctor/dentist, not someone you want to pick out of the yellow pages. Word of mouth is the best. Other important descriptions of him: He is kind and has character.

Cindy R.

I have been working with Brian for several years now. He always provides consistent, and honest advice and assessment of the issues before him. I have personally witnessed the quality of Brian’s work, and his commitment to see things through. Recently I witnessed Brian’s work inside the courtroom – he is knowledgable, quick on his feet, and takes ownership of the case he is working on. He is prepared, and has a great understanding of Family Law, and local rules. I cannot speak highly enough of his services and professionalism.
