“The members of the jury would light up whenever Ron was going to speak. His performance in the courtroom was remarkable. He was always professional, polite to a fault, quick-to-the-point, thoughtful, and never missed an opportunity to take advantage of a mistake made by the prosecution or the judge. During the recesses, his performance was the talk of the courtroom. Everyone was in awe and wanted him to be their attorney.”

— J.O.

“If you are facing a White Collar Crime accusation, the single most important decision you will make is who represents you. My only regret in my legal journey was not hiring Ron Chapman II from the very beginning.

I originally went with a different trial attorney who simply did not provide the representation I deserved. After firing my previous counsel, I brought Ron on to handle my sentencing, and the difference was night and day. Ron is a highly educated, well-respected national attorney who possesses a level of expertise that many other lawyers simply don’t have. One of the most impressive things about Ron is his independence. Unlike many local attorneys who prioritize “playing nice” or making friends with local judges and counsel, Ron is there for one reason: to fight for you. He uses his deep knowledge of the law to ensure you get the best possible outcome. Watching him work made it clear to me that if I had hired him for the trial itself, the result would have been a victory. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Retain Ron Chapman II as soon as possible—he is the expert you need in your corner.”

“Although we were not successful at trial in my federal criminal case, I could not be more satisfied with Ron Chapman, his team, and the way he represented me. Ron is a fighter — he does not back down, he does not miss key points, and he never stopped advocating for me.

Watching him on full display at trial was nothing short of amazing. His ability to outthink, outsmart, and remain five steps ahead of the opposition gave me peace and confidence that everyone in my position needs. His knowledge of healthcare far exceeds my own, as a career veteran of the industry. Regardless of the outcome, Ron preserved every objection and fought with the tenacity that every defendant deserves.

Despite being in high demand due to his track record for acquittals and dismissals, Ron and his team make you feel like his only client. He is fully engaged and deeply invested in the outcome. I truly consider Ron part of the family and know he has and will fight for me with the same intensity and care he would for those closest to him.

I would not choose anyone else to stand beside in the fight of my life and remain confident as we move forward on appeal.

From my family…..Thank you!!!!”

— M.B.

I started of with purchasing he’s book, Fight the Feds. The audiobook started narrowing a case. The voice started to describe a person and the case around. I’m not sure what made me look him up, but I googled Ron Chapman. I read of him and I decided to contact him by email. I say about 3 min after my cell phone rings it was Ron Chapman, after talking to him he gave me a better idea of what I didn’t know. Someone that will pay attention to the smaller details to question.

Ron Chapman is an incredibly sharp and forward-thinking attorney. From the moment we spoke, it was clear how strategic and detail-oriented he is — not just in his understanding of law but also in how he approaches client engagement.
