I have been meaning to write a review about Mr. Chaplin for over a year now and recently returning…read moreback to court has reminded me to finally get on here and say everything I have been wanting to say for anyone seeking help in family law. For the purpose of protecting loved ones and keeping their anonymity, I'm not going to share the details of how Mr. Chaplin helped me, but I'm happily going to share how amazingly I was represented. I was going through the worst time in my life and had never been near a courtroom, let alone have to fight for my child in one (a parent's worst nightmare). I started my case by using the self-help department in the Butte County Courthouse to file an emergency custody order for my 2.5 year old son. I was awarded the temporary sole legal and physical custody until determination on the court order in my future hearing. I was scared, nervous and overwhelmed and knew I had to hire an attorney. I was working 3 jobs at the time and didn't have a lot of money, but I was hoping I would find someone who would care enough to give me a chance. I went to two initial consultations with different attorneys and walking away, I didn't have the reassurance I needed. I then called Mr. Chaplin's office and spoke to his assistant at the time, Laney. Laney listened to my whole story, gave me some confidence and explained the process of what I was looking at. Laney is the reason why I spent the money I definitely didn't have on one last initial consultation. Mr. Chaplin was empathetic, he was patient, kind, professional and very thorough in his explanations. I retained Mr. Chaplin as my attorney, not only because he seemed to really know what he was doing, but more importantly because he seemed invested in my case. Any attorney can recite legal codes and laws, but it is extremely rare to find one who cares about the outcome and effect it will have on their client's life. Mr. Chaplin and I have been to court numerous times now and I have continued to have sole legal and physical custody of my son. When I found out I had to return to court after the biological father being gone for over a year, I had been emailing my concerns to his assistant, Shannon. I then received an email from Mr. Chaplin saying how he knew I'd be worried and scared and to not worry until I met with him the following Monday. He said he just wanted to check in with me before the weekend so that he could put my mind at ease a bit instead of me worrying for three days with all of the worst case scenarios in my mind. I cannot emphasize enough how very thankful I am that Mr. Chaplin is my attorney. He goes above and beyond in every way, even stumping the judge sometimes with legal codes that she doesn't know, but he spouts out right off the top of his head. His assistant Shannon responds to all of my crazy, anxiety ridden emails even if she is sick at home with her kid, there is never a message that goes more than a couple of hours without a response. My declarations are already written for me by the time I show up to the appointment and they are better than I could ever come up with. When I am sitting in court as nervous as can be, Mr. Chaplin always looks at me and does a small wave as a kind gesture and reassurance. I will never be able to truly put into words just how blessed and grateful that I am for the amazing job Mr. Chaplin and his team have done for my son and I. My son remains safe because I have the best attorney fighting for us. When I am strapped financially, they are so understanding and patient without any change in how he represents me at all. I am so thankful for the dedication, time and sincerity of this legal team. What other attorney tells his client even after the court days are over to still check in with him and let him know how things are going with visitation and the criminal case relating to my family? Mr. Chaplin goes the extra step and truly cares about the justice deserved. I will always sing nothing but praises and thanks for this attorney and will refer everyone to him if they need someone who will be in their corner, standing right beside them, fighting the entire time.

I consulted with Mr. Buckley to ensure that I was dealt with fairly and as it turned out, I was very glad that I did, The insurance company was stubborn with fair and entitled compensation. Larry's extensive medical education and knowledge was key in the negotiations and in directing me to take the necessary steps to finally secure the full policy limit of coverage for an uninsured motorist. His passion for justice and his experience in this field is exceptional! And most appreciated! He was always available to answer my questions and provide support. His track record and success speaks for itself. His ability to negotiate in a calm and humanitarian way are great assets and part of the foundation of his success. I appreciate him and recommend him more than words can say. He will go the extra mile to get you what you deserve. Thank you Larry! Rick W.

Every other time I called I could only speak with a secretary. months after being on workers comp and trying to get cleared to go back to work, I requested to see a different doctor. I was told by a secretary they would get back to me in a couple of days. Well after multiple phone calls from me a weeks later I had not heard anything from them. So I fired them and found an amazing attorney. Maybe they are good at suing companies or something. But if you want to actually get medical help from a work injury or even want to be taken care of by an attorney or you want to return to work this is NOT the law firm for you.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.
