"I hired Mr. Tom Chaves to represent my interests in a multiple automobile accident dispute. He is personable, professional and passionate about his cases. I was astonished more by his strategic questioning; he is articulate, direct and concise, while offering advice and objective assessments of all facts and presumptions according to legal standards and the law.

Mr. Chaves’ guidance and legal expertise are priceless and reassuring. Principles, fairness, justice and virtues are what make him the best in his legal practice.

Tom, thank you for your expertise, advice and tireless representation in handling my case. I can’t think of no other lawyer I would rather have on my side. I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors"

"I just wanted to take a moment to write this letter and thank McCarter & English personnel involved in settling my litigation most especially Thomas Chaves. There was a notable difference between the level of expertise in handling all facets of the case between McCarter & English and the prior law firm.
