Client Success Stories

Chandler Law is the trusted source for any attorney navigating ethical and malpractice complaints. They assisted me with a frivolous disciplinary matter filed by a former client and promptly got it dismissed. Their work is thorough and much appreciated.

I sought the advice of Douglas Chandler and Chandler Law after another lawyer filed a bar grievance against me to try to get me to pay money to his client for a real estate closing the lawyer said I had done incorrectly. Douglas listened to me, helped me report the matter to my malpractice carrier to get disciplinary coverage I didn’t even know I had, and responded to the bar complaint aggressively. Later, I was dragged into litigation between the buyer and seller of the property. Although not on my malpractice carrier’s panel of defense lawyers, my carrier hired Chandler Law on my behalf to also litigate the civil claims against me and my firm. Chandler Law aggressively handled our defense, and globally resolved the civil claims and disciplinary case confidentially. When your license to practice law and your professional reputation is on the line, we highly recommend Chandler Law for professional liability and state bar disciplinary defense.

Mr. Chandler and Mr. Waddington effectively and efficiently handled my firm’s issue relating to our IOLTA account and a bar inquiry caused by attempted third-party fraud. They are knowledgeable and responsive. Highly recommend.

I sought the advice of Douglas Chandler and Chandler Law after another lawyer who was an expert in the same field as myself accused me of violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct based on his dissatisfaction with the way I handled a real estate closing. While neither the lawyer nor his client suffered any damages as a result of the closing and the way in which it was handled, I can only assume the motive for the baseless grievance was malicious intent to harm. Because of this lawyer’s expertise in this area of law he was quite adept at obfuscating the facts and thus muddying the waters enough to make his grievance believable. Richard Waddington and Douglas Chandler of Chandler Law stepped in on the matter and because of their empathy, professionalism, and ability to state the truth in a clear and concise matter, the grievance was dismissed with absolutely no disciplinary action. I credit Chandler Law with my receipt of the best possible result. I highly recommend Chandler Law to defend other lawyers and I have the utmost gratitude for their handling of my case.

Douglas, I cannot thank you and your team enough for your excellent work on my behalf.  This has been quite a learning experience, and having seen the effort and expertise required to mount a favorable defense on this claim, I am grateful to have had your assistance every step of the way.

Chandler Law believed in my legal malpractice case and stood up to a big downtown Atlanta law firm to help my family recover against my former lawyer. We are so grateful for their help!

Mr. Chandler represented me in a matter that has made me learn from certain mistakes I have made in my profession. During the entire representation Mr. Chandler never judged the decisions I had made, listened to all my concerns, and came up with a plan to resolve my problem. Needless to say, he represented me exceptionally well and got the best result possible in my situation. I highly recommend Mr. Chandler.

When I came to Chandler Law, Douglas took the time to listen to my concerns and give me a fair and accurate opinion of my case, which he continued to do throughout their representation. They did a great job advocating for me, while also reminding me of the reality of the situation. If I had the chance to choose representation again I would go right back to Chandler Law. I highly recommend this firm.

I have known Mr. Chandler for about 20 years, and he has been very helpful to me during that time. I am proud to recommend him highly because of his expertise and spirit of excellence.

Several years ago we found ourselves needing an attorney to handle a legal malpractice claim against a law firm in Central GA. We searched for weeks and were finally referred to Douglas Chandler. He came to our home and assessed our situation and took on the job of helping us get justice against the firm which had negligently destroyed our eminent domain case against the county and the GA Department of Transportation over the course of a few years. Only a few lawyers will take on the challenge of holding negligent lawyers responsible for their legal malpractice, and I highly recommend Douglas Chandler and his firm.

After sixteen years of practicing law, my firm’s IOLTA account fell victim to fraud. The fraud department with my bank contacted me and rejected the check. To my surprise, I received a letter from the Georgia Bar requesting bank accounts, supporting documents, and it subsequently initiated a grievance against me. I reached out to two friends, who both referred me to Douglas Chandler for representation. I met with Mr. Chandler and his team and felt very comfortable moving forward with their representation. Mr Chandler and his team were able to facilitate a dismissal of the grievance filed against me by the State Bar. Chandler Law is highly qualified, and I highly recommend the firm in the areas of legal ethics and malpractice prevention. Job well done Chandler Law team. Thank you for your peer-coaching and legal representation. The epitome of the Lion and the Lamb.
