FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU
The Chaffin Law Firm is the firm for underdogs, the trusty slingshot that helped David defeat Goliath. We have never shied away from a case no matter how large or powerful the opposition because we know how to win. We fight and win for individuals, and we have a 40-year track record with many millions of dollars recovered to prove it..
No Fight Too Big
We defeated Exxon for $8 million in the California
Supreme Court, and recovered millions for families in two of the most deadly maritime disasters in history – the Piper Alpha and the Ocean Ranger. In 2018, we won a verdict and judgment of $1,143,061 for our client who fell and badly injured her shoulder on a cruise ship. These are just a few examples of our success. We’ve been consistently winning million-dollar cases since 1979 and we’re still doing it today.
