Our Clients

Jeff has represented us in multiple construction related issues ranging from contract preparation and review to litigation. He successfully represented the City in a claim against a contractor for defective work resulting in a settlement covering the full cost of repairs. Jeff’s expertise in municipal construction law has proven time and again an invaluable resource to us as we proceed with a variety of building projects.
Aron Kulhavy, City Manager, City of Huntsville

I’ve worked with Erik and the Chapman Firm on both litigation and transactional matters and have come back time and again for guidance and representation. Erik has repeatedly done a great job at keeping my stress level over legal matters to a minimum when it otherwise threatened to distract from and seriously impact my day-to-day business operations. Erik’s practical and outcome-driven approach also repeatedly helped me and my company obtain beneficial results at a very reasonable price point. Erik was sensitive to the resource drain that legal fees can often be for small businesses, and was extremely cost-effective for the work I needed. Moreover, his and the Chapman Firm’s wide-ranging business, employment, and litigation experience meant I didn’t have to shop my disparate needs around to numerous firms. At the Chapman Firm I found a dedicated team who not only took the time to learn and understand my business, but who also truly wanted to see it succeed.

His relationship based approach to dealing with difficult issues is also in alignment with our company principles. We appreciate having Jeff as a trusted business partner.
