David Schloss of Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis and Lightfoot was my attorney. My case was a difficult one that covered my Workmen’s Comp, Social Security Disability and the Navy Yard shooting. David is an Awesome Lawyer. The way he handled all of my issues was outstanding. He took his time to explain every detail to me and made sure I understood everything that was going on in my case. He is a knowledgeable, respectable and kind person.

I highly recommend Paulette Chapman as an outstandingly talented, well-seasoned lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable in her field of practice. I felt my case was important to her as she did a lot of research and conducted "facts checking" sessions at intervals to "connect the dots" in order to build a robust case, ready for a fair settlement. She was accessible and responsive at all times. She performed exceptionally well at the negotiating table and leveraged the mediator to our benefit.

Roger Johnson, Kasey Murray and Betsy Berry helped me navigate a very complicated personal injury case. They did not waiver in their determination to settle the details in this complicated matter. Roger is a thoughtful and highly competent attorney that will work very hard for you. Meeting him was a benefit to needing an attorney. I will always consider Roger a friend and the nicest, but also most effective, lawyer that I have ever met.

I was referred to Paulette E. Chapman, an attorney in Koonz McKenney, Johnson, Depaolis and Lightfoot, by a well respected family attorney and friend. Paulette exceeded my expectation by her exceptionally thorough work on my potential case. I am grateful for her care and attention to all the details of my case. I strongly recommend her service.

William Lightfoot came out of the blue to my husband after his construction accident. He and Paulette Chapman were responsive to our needs and cared about our concerns and work above and beyond to get us the best possible settlement. I would recommend them to in need of a lawyer firm. They were a God send.

I had an awful experience with this Law Firm. The lawyer I specifically consulted with unprofessional and less than honest. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as a result of the poor service I received.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
