Chasan and Walton, LLC

Andy Chasan and Tim Walton have been partners since 1980.  They have devoted their careers to representing the interests of injured people against insurance companies, big business and corporate greed whether because of a car accident, product liability, a wrongful death or a Worker's Compensation claim.The philosophy of the firm is to put the interest of the client first.  We take pride in the size of the recoveries we obtain for our clients, but that is not the sole measure of our success.  Helping our clients make correct life decisions, and helping them to restore the quality of their life after suffering profound injury is equally important.  

We are very proud of our legal staff.  We hire the best, and the brightest, and provide them with a stable, challenging, and enjoyable work environment.  In return they reward us (and our clients) with a high quality work product.  On average, each of our staff members has been with us for more than a decade.
