From the very minute i emailed Mr. Chetson at 9:38pm on a Saturday Night to his reply back to me at 9:48pm asking me to call him NOW i have felt secure and trusting in Mr. Chetson. For someone to be so concerned about a person they do not even know in a time of panic it was a bit of relief. I was in panic mode due to my kids’ issue and Mr. Chetson was able to calm me down, talk with me, get the details out of me as i was crying, and help me feel like there maybe a light at the tunnel in the future..He was in constant email contact and with us thru all the issues to get a resolution according to our situation. Thank you so much for being there for us! I tell anyone that reads this, Mr. Chetson will not let you down and will not make you feel any lesser than you may think you feel…Thanks again..?


Recently I was quite upset to find out that I had an outstanding warrant from 6 YEARS ago. The charge in itself wouldnt have been that big a deal if it hadnt been for some other scrapes with the law that I had incurred previously. I was very concerned over this, and being that this charge I was facing was in Wake Co. and I live in Nash county I decided to try to look up legal advice online. I stumbled upon Mr. Chetsons website and was quite impressed. I was also STUNNED to find out that he did FREE CONSULTS over the phone.This is UNHEARD of for a criminal lawyer in my experiences in the past to offer a free consult period most less over the phone. I called the phone # and he answered right away. He was in his car at the time and told me he was expecting a quite important call but he would call me right back. Not 5 minutes went by and he called me back and we discussed my case. He told me what I could be facing, and pretty much laid it all out for me. Most criminal lawyers want at least 100 for a consult and you have to make a appointment. I hired Mr.Chetson over the phone and it was the best move I could have ever made. He was quite personal and professional. I would also like to add that he didnt try to charge me an arm and a leg either like most others would do. We were able to resolve my problem and I walked out a free man. Thank you Damon for all your expertise. I would recommend him to ANYONE who needs a hand dealing with the law.


I do not have enough space to let everyone know how pleased, impressed, and grateful I am for finding Mr. Chetson. I had pretty much given up on the idea that there was an attorney out there who could help me with my situation. I had contacted several and either my phone call was never returned or I was given an outrageous fee for representation that I couldn’t afford right now or possibly didn’t even need. My husband found Mr. Chetson’s web site on a Saturday evening and told me I should call this guy because it says he takes calls on weekends and evenings. I told my husband that there was no way someone would make themselves that available and that I would either get an answering service or voicemail. To my surprise, on Saturday evening, Mr. Chetson answered the phone where he patiently and thoroughly listened to my situation. He was easy to talk to from the start and by the time we hung up the phone he had agreed to try and help. He said he would call me the next day around 10am to let me know. True to his word, he called at 10 and left a message that it was a crazy morning and that he was pushing to get it done that afternoon and he would call me when he had an answer. WOW! Who does this? Once again, just as he said, he phoned me around 3:00pm to tell me the good news; that he had taken care of my situation. I cried tears of joy and relief for this has been a burden for over 6 months. In a couple of phone calls and doing what he does best, Mr. Chetson got me the best outcome I could have hoped for! Should I ever need an attorney in the future, this is number one on my call list Take it from me, if you need an attorney this is the one for you! THANK YOU


I found Mr. Chetson on an internet search engine when I was looking up how to file for a limited driving privilege. I went to his website and it said free legal advice. After approx. 10 years of trying to get my license back and talking to a handful of lawyers I was discouraged when making the call to his office. Like most lawyers he wasn’t available so I left a message. I received his call less than an hour later. Can you believe that? No lawyer does that-EVER! Not only did he return my call quickly but he answered every question I had in full detail. I have to admit I have never met a lawyer like him. I wish he did family law too. It is my assumption that he would be a “bulldog” in court and well worth any money invested to have him represent me. I would HIGHLY recommend this lawyer to anyone who is interested in winning their case and not settling for a lesser plea.?


Mr. Chetson was professional, courteous, and quite humble.On our first meeting, which was a Sunday afternoon, he explained his method of approach for resolution to my issue and he followed his course of action to the letter. I sincerely hope that in the future Mr. Chetson will operate in other areas of law. His level humility and knowledge is lacking among his fellow counselors. He gave me piece of mind that despite my minor trangression of the law, I can have my life back. I would recommend Damon Chetson to anyone.?
