The Chesnutt Lawfirm cost me over $20,000 in unnecessary expenses and did absolutely nothing to help me. I lost custody of my 12 yr old son that I raised ALONE for 12 years. They were very disorganized and did nothing to provide support or assistance or resources for myself or my son. I would never recommend this firm to anyone at this point. Everything that happened in my case should never have happened, and they did nothing to prevent or stop it, and the lack of representation has crippled me and taken away my motherhood. Life as I knew it will NEVER be the same. Chesnutt has no fight in her and she allowed opposing counsel to intimidate and rail road her in the hallway into agreeing to their wishes before the judge even heard the case. Not to mention she failed miserably to recognize or acknowledge or contest the fact that the case brought against me was in fact fraudulent and falsified.

As a single mother of 2 small kids with a fixed income, I was dealing with an abusive ex whom was known to be abusive to our small child. I filed everything myself up until mediation and then hired Susan Chesnutt right after. I spent $3500 right up front to retain her office. I thought I was in good hands. For just over 1 year, I have spent over $6,800 to her office for her services. My annual income was $20,000 supporting 2 small kids, rent, ect on that. The case was over and my ex was ordered child support and back child support, GREAT. But as soon as her office closed the case, they had sent me to collections for $700. I had given them my taxes every year to pay for her services and I had emailed her office explaining if they can hold off for a few months, specifically by the end of october 2018 or February 2019 when I receive my taxes, like I do every year. The office responded with "ok, we will reach out to you then". October 23, 2018, I receive a collections notice! The office never even reached out to me telling me they will be sending me to collections! I had just paid off all my credit cards, car note and only had a low monthly payment for a loan I had gotten to pay off my debt. I was in line for Habitat for Humanity to get into an affordable house for me and my 2 sons...now I am illegible for the program since now I have a collections on my name..I contacted the office and stated the emails that were sent back and forth and i was told, "what's done is done". I received one collections bill since Oct 2018 and now I'm getting calls that they will be taking me to court for it! This is unethical in my eyes when you say one thing and do another that affects one's credit, especially when I worked hard to bring it up. Unless you make money and have it available, I wouldn't trust this office. I normally don't write reviews but messing with my credit was a low blow. Especially when we had worked out an agreement before hand.
I highly, highly recommend The Chesnutt Law firm if your looking for a criminal lawyer. Susan is very passionate about her work and you can tell she loves doing her job. I am so glad that we hired Susan to represent us. She helped out our family. Her whole staff is very caring. Susan is a lawyer you need to hire. Thank you so very much Susan for all your help and thank you to your staff.

Susan Chestnut Law Firm is amazing and I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone that I meet that may need her assistance. I was given her information from a friend during one of the most difficult times in my life. The front staff was professional and courtious which was nice because I was stressed out and angry at my current situation. Calling Susan's office turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Joanna is Susan's assistant and she is amazing. She was always friendly and answered all my questions and concerns. To my advantage, Susan is very knowledgeable and has extensive background in areas that greatly helped my case. I am more than happy with the service I recieved with this office.

No other attorneys out there can compare to professionalism and service out there. She was there for the best rights that my daughter could have. She treats every client personally and works very hard to protect families out there. If your looking for a good family attorney give them a call you will not be disappointed

I recommend them highly to anyone needing an attorney.

I hired the Chesnutt Law Firm to help me adopt my grandson. I had wasted six months with a previous attorney, who was happy to take my money, but did very little in return and basically told me I didn’t stand a chance with my case. My case was somewhat unique, and Susan, Katlin, Brianna, and Joanna had to get creative with the way it was handled. They were always very professional and worked hard to get positive results for me. The adoption was finalized within one year of when I hired them, and I couldn’t be happier!

I am so happy to have had Susan, Joanna and staff standing up for me and my rights. I had a very difficult dependency case that Susan found precedent for both grandmothers to jointly adopt our grandson. We are both happy to raise this child together legally. I'm sure we wouldn't have had this outcome without the help of our lawyers. Thank you again Susan!

I have been through 3 different attorney’s in the last 8 years and I never had a chance with either one of them. December 5th 2019 was different Susan Chesnutt and her awesome team just gave my girl a chance to thrive and be raised the best way I know how. I can’t express how thankful I am for what you and your team have done for an amazing 10 year old girl. Susan just know that last week you and your team literally gave my 10 year old daughter a fighting chance to grow up to amazing woman.❤️❤️ Katlin sanders and Brianna sat side by side with me during mediation and when I found out afterwards how old Katlin was I was blown away!! She is extremely smart and very calm and confident!! I was very impressed!!

Amazing what you did for my cousin and her kids! I went with her last night to watch her son play football for the second time ever. At the end of the game he looked over at her smiled and waved. Maybe it meant a little to someone, but it meant a lot to her. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. Thankyou for giving her, her smile back!

Her staff is remarkable, also, very friendly and helpful! She did a great job keeping me informed and I got great results. The other reviews that I read were correct. She was always easy to communicate with and considerate of my concerns. I highly recomend !!

I was introduced to Susan though a family friend who recommended she would be able to help with my matter. From our initial consultation Susan was very clear about all of the potential outcomes I was looking at and was very sincere in his approach. She was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls and made sure to remind me that I could call/email her whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my case. Her office sent me communications whenever we had a new court date and when they received the initial discovery and supplemental reports. Susan listened to me when I had concerns and explained in detail how she would build my defense to increase my odds of a favorable outcome. When it finally came the day for the judge to see my case Susan had planned out my defense impeccably and as a result I faced the minimum penalties possible in my matter. Susan was extremely professional and I would/will recommend her to anyone I know who needs legal advice or Council.
