The legal system is a labyrinth on its best days and seems specifically designed to torture people on its worst. Mr Chetson has enough optimism to keep looking for the best path forward and cynicism to avoid unnecessary missteps. He’s prepared, respectful, and has good professional rapport with the judges and prosecutors. He cares not just about his clients’ cases, but how the consequences of their interaction with the legal system affects and reflects on us all.

5 years ago, Mr. Damon Chetson helped my case. He dealt it very professionally and suggested the best steps for me to follow. He even provided me with additional service for free saying that I was a nice customer :) Thank you for your excellent work Mr. Chetson!!!

Attorney Damon Chetson of The Chetson Firm in Raleigh is the best attorney I have ever used and the only law firm that I will ever consider in the future. Mr. Chetson took on my case which required a lot of time and preparation throughout the entire legal process. He was always thorough, and always in control of all of the many details involved in my case, was prepared and ahead of the possibilities in every part of the process. I can’t say enough about his commitment to his clients who are more than just a case number in a file. He takes the time to treat each case according to specifics needed for the very best outcome possible and aggressively goes after that for his clients. I am certainly pleased with the outcome of my case. I would recommend Damon Chetson to anyone who needs an attorney who will fight for them as if they were family.

Being charged with an offense is a very stressful thing to go through to say the least, and from the moment I first spoke with Damon I knew he was the best attorney to handle my case. Damon was as professional as they come throughout my case and he and his paralegal Dena were always quick to answer any question I had. Damon won my case and got me off of what I was charged with and I can't thank him enough for everything he did. Thank you again Damon!!

Damon Chetson came highly recommended from a few friends of mine. After seeing his efforts and him in action in the courtroom along with the outcome of the case, I absolutely recommend Mr. Chetson. He also took time out of his Sunday evening to answer questions and give advice. He is very genuine, straight up and honest.

Words and 5 stars alone can not explain how grateful I am to Mr Chetson and his firm. I called multiple lawyers and I felt most were either sugar coating or just telling me what I wanted to hear. When i called Mr Chetson, i knew right away that no matter what the cost may be, this was the lawyer I needed by my side. He said to me, its going to be tough but WE WILL FIGHT, and he did just that!! - he gave his 110%. Through his hard work and dedication to my case, I won both my DWI and DMV refusal hearing. It took about a year and 2 months but i'm happy and sincerely grateful with the outcome and to finally have a second chance at achieving my American dream. If you've been charged with a DWI, I know the feeling, hang in there, dont give up and call Mr Chetson right away - there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel!God Bless you Mr Chetson for helping me get my life back!

Damon was top notch in delivering quick, vital information over the phone which I found valuable and was able to implement based on the needs I have as a small business owner dealing with a now past employee who admittedly claimed they took money from our company from our customers. Thank you again, Damon. I do appreciate your tips and time and have a more clear direction to immediately take on this particular matter. - Patrick

Damon Chetson and his team are some of the best legal professionals I have encountered. I was in need of legal representation and spoke with several attorneys. Damon took the time to review and discuss the details of my case and I felt confident he was the person I wanted to represent me.Damon and his staff kept me updated throughout the entire legal process. He clearly has a thorough understanding of the law and the legal processes. He answered every question I asked and I am very, very satisfied with the results of his efforts.I would recommend Damon Chetson to anyone in need of legal advice and representation.Thanks, Damon Chetson!

Damon Chetson represented me in a complicated matter involving an unfounded accusations in Wake County. He was relentless in his defense, making numerous appearances on my behalf. This was no small endeavor considering he had to deal with an unethical and difficult opposing Raleigh lawyer. Ultimately he was able to work with the Assistant District Attorney to have these accusations completely debunked and dismissed without me ever having to come to court.Throughout the ordeal Damon kept in close communication with me, to include nights, weekends and early morning. As troubling as the process was and faced with a situation that was bizarre at times, it was comforting to know I had Damon as my attorney.I would highly recommend Damon as an excellent Raleigh criminal lawyer.

Damon and his lawfirm are the most professional, caring, kind, hardworkin i have ever emcountered. I am extremely pleased with their dillegence and the quality they brought to the table. I was charged with a felony drug charge when i met Damon. I also had 2 other drug charges and an RDO, I was very pleased with the outcome, The felony became a misdemeanor with the lowest level probation, i also got another drug charge dismissed. As i said i am very pleased by their work. They are truly God sent, Great people and a blessing to me. Right now i only have a misdemeanor on my record allowing me to still get higher quality jobs and I can continue on with my life. Damon saved my life. Definitely choose him to get the job done and i promise you will not be disappointed

Damon Chetson and his firm are highly professional. I never had any issues with getting in touch if I had questions regarding my case and they always sent reminders for upcoming court dates. I had a bad experience with a previous attorney regarding my DWI case and felt I needed a far more professional, tenacious, and successful attorney and that is why I then hired Damon. My case was long and drawn out but Damon was on top of my case every step of the way. He at no point let me down and when it came time for my case to get tried, he was excellent, on the ball, and won my case. All of the charges were dropped and dismissed. I would highly recommend Damon Chetson to anyone and if a friend, or especially a family member, ever needed a fantastic attorney and a real heavy hitter, I would tell them to call Damon asap because I know they would be in good hands.

I hired Damon in 2013 to represent me for a case which I knew would be difficult to prove my innocence. I told Damon I wanted to fight this case and he gladly accepted my case. Although we lost in district court and I felt as if my shot of winning this case was hopeless Damon quickly recommended we appeal the decision and take my case to superior court. He assured me that we had a strong case and he was confident we could get the case settled. His determination motivated me and I didn't hesitate to appeal the case. He appeared in court for me for almost two years and he was able to get my case dismissed and my charges expunged. This guy is one hell of an attorney and I can't thank him enough.

Damon and Catherine handled my case in a professional and expedited manner - one court date with a favorable outcome. A win all the way around and I could not have done it without Damon's expertise. I am very pleased with the result and grateful for their assistance.The choices for Defense Attorneys in Wake County is overwhelming and because I had no referral, I relied on searching the web. I found Damon's blogs to be very informative which led to my first and only call to an attorney so keep up the great work with your firm's blogs. Without hesitation, I would recommend The Chetson Firm to anyone who needs a Defense Attorney in Wake County. I can't thank each of them enough and much success to The Chetson Firm.

I was absolutely impressed with the Chetson Firm. Catherine is an absolute joy to work with and Damon is a fantastic lawyer and took great care in my case. He took the time to meet with me and never seemed to be in a rush, going over every inch of my case, and eased my worries about the whole legal process by going over everything I asked and would possibly need to know. He didn't sugar coat anything and made sure I knew all the possible outcomes. I would recommend Mr. Chetson to my friends, family, and anyone. I am forever grateful to the Chetson firm and wish them great success! Thank you again Damon!

My husband and I experienced some financial difficulty at the end of 2013. We did some research regarding bankruptcy. We called the Chetson Firm and spoke with Catherine about the process and what to expect. Catherine was very friendly and explained the process in detail over the phone. At that point, we decided to have Mr. Chetson represent us. Mr. Chetson was very honest and direct with us. The Chetson Firm did a great job helping us through this rough patch. Now we are on our way to gaining our financial freedom back! Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

I would like to express my gratitude to Damon and Catherine Chetson. I experienced a very difficult financial situation based on a small business venture that failed and I was extremely distressed about my legal options. Catherine consulted with me a number of times before I retained their firm. Throughout the process both Catherine and Damon were incredible! They listened intently to my concerns and provided me with sound legal guidance that led to successful outcomes. They worked hard on my behalf while offering the support I needed during the resolution process. They both were always courteous and available. I recommend their firm without reservation!

Damon is a fantastic lawyer. Besides knowing the law; he is on top of things, excellent communicator, extremely professional and above all an ethical good-guy who seems to genuinely care about helping people. My daughter and her roommate encountered a dispute regarding their rental agreement. Damon reviewed the situation, quickly responded to our questions and handled the situation in the most effective and efficient manner. Without a doubt, I would recommend Damon for anyone seeking legal representation.

Having Mr. Chetson represent me was the best thing I could have done and the best candidate for the job.

I was able to watch Mr. Chetson try a case in court. He demonstrated a profound knowledge of the law, skillfully navigated the various nuances of courtroom procedure, delivered an aggressive cross examination of the state’s witness, and offered a powerful closing argument. The judge agreed with his interpretation of the law, which resulted in a not guilty verdict for his client. Mr. Chetson is a skilled and competent lawyer. Should I be in need of an attorney in the Raleigh area, I would call on him without hesitation.

Wow - I'm very impressed with the professional, but at the same time, genuine attention that was given to my case. Not only were all of my questions answered in fine detail throughout the process, but Catherine Winter took the time to talk with me and answer questions on the weekends and evenings. Catherine could not have been more helpful and courteous. Damon Chetson was on the ball and more than prepared for all of my court dates and it was obvious that he is a well polished and experienced attorney. I cannot recommend the Chetson Firm enough!

Bottom line- if you want the best possible results, go with the Chetson Firm! Damon Chetson and Catherine not only worked on my case as if it was their only one, but also genuinely cared about me in what was one of the most stressful times in my life. First, please know that Mr. Chetson is busy so it may take some time to get back to you, but as I have learned that is because he is working so very hard behind the scenes to get you the BEST results possible. One thing I appreciated is that Catherine was there so many times to listen and patiently explain things when I was nervous and anxious. She has such a pleasant attitude. Catherine made me calm and put me at ease on so many occasions. Mr. Chetson on the other hand has such authority and confidence in the court room which helped me to feel confident in the attorney I chose. In the courtroom I knew I had the best attorney working for me as I watched other people and their attorneys interact and go before the judge. Mr. Chetson is intelligent, strategic, and confident, and that is the type of attorney you need! When I met with Mr. Chetson for the first time he was very personable and took all the time I needed to thoroughly explain answers to my questions. He completely impressed me with his knowledge and I could tell he knew the law and the best way to approach my specific situation. I know he is busy but as I learned that is because he is giving his all with each of his cases. I am so grateful to have had the Chetson Firm working for me. I know I got the results I did because I chose the right attorney!!!

There aren't enough words to describe how Great of an attorney Damon Chetson was in defending me in my case. I emailed Chetson firm and within literally an hour Catherine Winter called me back and quoted me the best price I had herd yet From any different firm in wake county. I saved 80% compared to other attorneys I had spoken to. Mr. Chetson had a FELONY charge COMPLETELY dismissed by the DA. On top of that I currently lived 3 hours away and he had me excused from having to appear at court. I couldn't recommend any other attorney in the Wake county area. Definitely 5*. Thanks to everyone at the Chetson Firm for bringing justice to my family and I.
