Very aggressive criminal attorney when it comes to representing you in a court of law.

Nothing but Success with Chesser Barr Mar 11, 2026

As a real estate brokerage owner, I need an educated real estate attorney who knows the answers without having to look them up, and it needs to be right. I use Mike Chesser, who is certified as a real estate lawyer. Not only is he good at what he does, his reputation for being ethical means the world to me. I've most recently had to use Lisa Troell on a landlord/tenant dispute, and she is quick, efficient, and good at what she does. All in all, I've nothing but success and good things to say about Chesser Barr.

I highly recommend Meghan Betz Jan 15, 2026

I highly recommend Meghan Betz if you're looking for an attorney. We recently worked together on behalf of a mutual client in a real estate transaction. The transaction was quite difficult, with frequent legal obstacles and urgent situations arising throughout. She was incredibly capable, highly communicative, and, most of all, effective in getting the client to closing day successfully. If I or my family are ever in need of representation, Meghan will be my first call. Thanks, Meghan!

I Would Never Hesitate to Recommend Mar 9, 2026

After losing my husband in 2021, I needed an attorney to handle the will. So glad friends suggested I call Mr. Corlew. He was personable, patient, and very professional. Although I knew nothing about the process of going to probate, he took charge, and I certainly appreciate that he did. I would never hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. Thank you.

Justina Turner and her team are wonderful to work with and put their clients at ease during otherwise difficult times. They are available and dependable, which also helps to ease the stress of the process. Justina listens to her clients and makes sure that they are being treated fairly, while still making sure to fight for her clients’ needs. She also is great at explaining any questions or concerns you may have along the way. I would highly recommend Justina and her team for anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. I couldn’t have gotten through the process without her!

I'm So Incredibly Grateful Jul 19, 2025

I wish I would have had Mr. Corlew and his team in 2019. I've repeated these words many times to myself. I'm so incredibly grateful for all of their work over the past 2 years. Being so patient and compassionate with my tears, the frustration, the anger of fighting for what was right, thank you isn't enough for all of the hours in emails, phone calls, and getting everything together. Brian, Kim and the rest of the office, thank you!!! You guys will be my first recommendation to anyone!

Brian, you're a great lawyer Aug 15, 2023

I think there are a lack of reviews here because people are afraid of what they say about a lawyer may come back to bite them in the back side. I think giving them a review they deserve is more important. I went to Chesser & Barr in Crestview, FL for help almost 2 years ago now. Brian was my attorney. He is good at his job, and his personality is a blessing. He defused what was pretty obviously a high-stress situation in my life and gave me facts that would help me and keep me from wasting money and time trying to stray too far for a fight that could not be won. I hear a lot of stories about a lot of lawyers that will help you down that street, taking your money, knowing a "W" is nearly impossible. Brian did not waste my time and very limited resources chasing rabbit trails. I wish I could say thank you a better way than a 5-star review on Google. Brian, you're a great lawyer and a really awesome person. I'm glad we met.
