Law Office Of Steven B Chroman, P.C.

Mr. Chroman was terrific! My case was complicated as I’m in Canada and my ex in Cali. She was extremely difficult to deal with and Steven Chroman was the right guy to help. I could not thank him enough and very strongly recommend him if you need a family law attorney. He is the guy 100%

Steve Chroman and his office team were, and still are, an outstanding source of Family Law expertise, knowledge and professionalism to me. He represented me in my divorce, and strategically navigated my case issues, as well as all courthouse legal pitfalls with ease. His head was in the game, like Tom Brady in a Super Bowl, focused, never deterred, and leading his team to the win. What’s more, Steve Chroman is a legal “nerd”, obsessed with the honor and legitimacy of the legal profession. I cannot overstate this fact enough. You simply must discover it for yourself. Steve Chroman never let me down when the going got tough. Hire him; you will sleep better knowing he is on your side. The one star reviews here obviously are from the other side. What losers they are.

I am a REAL client of Steven Chroman and I want to thank him and his staff for bringing financial and emotional stability back into my and my children’s lives, for helping us find calm in the chaos. Divorce is never easy, but with a really great attorney handling the heavy lifting, you can continue to live your life while going through the process and come through the other side with your integrity and sanity intact. Steven Chroman and his staff provided this, and so much more for me and my children. Believe me, I know just how frustrating and stressful it can be without proper representation because I started my divorce without it, enlisting a different attorney to help me with just the filings. Disastrous. I definitely do not recommend that approach for anyone, even if you think your divorce will be “amicable.” My ex had representation in the courtroom almost immediately. Every time we appeared before the judge, my stomach was twisted in knots and I would leave feeling a wreck. I couldn’t sleep or relax between appearances, overwhelmed by the financial and emotional toll. It felt like my entire life revolved around the divorce case and I was making a mess of it. Then Steven Chroman took over the case, relieving much of the pressure as he steadily unraveled the mess. Our divorce was especially long (4+ years) and complicated, with, dozens of court appearances, hundreds of filings, and multiple attorneys - our children were represented by 2 different Minor’s Counsel and my ex went through 4 attorneys of his own Throughout the case, he kept me focused on what mattered most. He did his best to avoid the expense of court appearances whenever possible but never compromised on the important issues. He never made promises he couldn’t absolutely keep. He didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear or let my emotions rule the day. He was always candid about the options and likelihood of each of the possible outcomes, but also mindful of emotionally sensitive issues, like the DV restraining order, which he successfully obtained. As a result, I never felt blind-sided by the court rulings, even when they didn’t go our way, which was rare. Our many court appearances gave me an opportunity to witness other attorneys in action, not only the ones involved in our case, but others, including a couple high profile ones, and I always walked out of the courtroom grateful that I was represented by Steven. Steven is a killer litigator. I witnessed him repeatedly dismantle my ex’s misleading and false claims in cross-examination and deposition. No theatrics, no dirty tricks, just compelling, clear, logical, fact- and law-based arguments. After much foot dragging by my ex, even after we reached a settlement, my divorce case is fully adjudicated, and all the issue are resolved. Thanks to Steven and his staff, I have no regrets, no self-doubts about the settlement, and no bitterness, just gratitude to be on the other side of it with a fighting chance to move on and rebuild our lives with the tools and resources Steven and his staff helped put into place. We’re in a stronger and more stable place and for that I am eternally grateful.

Mr. Chroman is a child centered attorney who is skilled at negotiating terms to yield favorable results without creating unnecessary drama. In the world of family law, most attorneys feed on the emotions and fears of Clients. However, after seeing Steven steer my case to the promise land both in and out of the courtroom, I am confident that I chose wisely. He didn’t take cheap shots at my ex, which I respwct and he stopped me from doing the same, which I believe ultimately made the playing field tilt in my favor. Firm, but fair attorney.

Lol, to whoever responds to the reviews on this website: One does not have to live in the State of California to write a review of your practice. One just has to have knowledge of how you practice the law. Such statements as defense is ridiculous and proves just how your firm operates. I do not live in California and in fact, I have never even been to California, but I feel confident in my review that Steven Chroman is both unethical and dishonest. This lawyer represents my soon to be ex brother-in-law in divorce proceedings against my sister and he has proved over and over again to use shady practices to try to win his case. He has blatantly lied to the court and he has done everything in his power to defame my sister and paint her to be a monster. He has even made fake documents to continue to purport his lies. I believe that if there was any other lawyer on the case that the divorce would have been amicable, but this lawyer has turned it into an all out war. I believe that in such family proceedings a lawyer should give good advice that will help both parties, especially when children are involved because the relationship does not end when the judge grants the divorce. This lawyer has given his client bad advice upon bad advice and has not been at all helpful in forging a relationship that will last past the judge's ruling. He has done more harm than good and will get to walk away at the end with a huge paycheck while he leaves a family in shambles. That alone should be a warning to others who want to use this attorney and his associates. He will go all out, even breaking the law to win you your case, but at what cost?
