What to Expect When You Hire Chapell Law.
Here's how a case with Chapell Law works — from the initial consultation through final resolution. Every stage of your representation is handled directly by Brent Chapell.
The Free Consultation
The consultation is free. There's no pressure and no commitment. Brent will listen to your situation, assess whether he can help, and tell you honestly what he thinks. If it's a case he can't take or a situation better handled by someone else, he'll tell you that too.
A Clear Plan From Day One
If Brent takes your case, he'll tell you exactly what he plans to do, why, and what it will cost. He doesn't do vague estimates or open-ended retainers. You'll understand the strategy before you sign anything.
Direct Representation — Start to Finish
Brent doesn't hand cases off to junior associates or disappear after the retainer is signed. He's the attorney who takes your call, writes your briefs, appears at your hearings, and sees your case through to the end. Every decision goes through him.
Board Certified in Criminal Appellate Law
Brent is Board Certified in Criminal Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys hold this designation — it requires a rigorous exam, substantial experience in criminal appellate practice, and peer recognition.
Honest Assessments, Even When It's Hard
Brent won't tell you what you want to hear. If the case is difficult, he'll say so. Candid evaluation is part of effective representation — you can't make good decisions without accurate information.
Responsive Communication
Brent responds to calls and emails promptly. You won't be left wondering about the status of your case. When something happens, you hear about it directly and promptly.
