ABOUT US
Chandler Law Founder, Stuart Chandler has been practicing law in California's Central Valley since 1979. Through principled hard work, compassion, respect and perseverance, Stuart has earned a spot as a Top Rated Personal Injury Attorney by Super Lawyers Magazine in recognition of his superior Plaintiffs practice. He has been a three time recipient of Consumer Attorneys of California Presidential Award of Merit, selected by his peers a Top Attorney in Northern California for Outstanding Professional Achievement, a Top Ten Finalist for the COAC Attorney of the Year, recipient of the California State Senate Attorney/Law Firm Award in Recognition of Exceptional Legal Services Provided to Central California. At the start of his career, Stuart associated with a prominent Fresno insurance defense firm where he excelled in civil litigation. In 1985, Stuart decided to change the direction of his career in pursuit of his desire to advocate for Valley residents devastated by a personal injury or the wrongful death of a loved one. So, with that goal in mind, Stuart said goodbye to the prominent law firm and the corporate insurance clients and hung his shingle outside a small office in Fresno. It was there he began representing clients victimized by serious motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents and victims of medical malpractice. His expertise soon grew to include helping abused elderly residents receiving negligent care in nursing homes, insurance bad faith claims, and other negligent acts resulting in injury or harm. Over the last three decades Stuart's goal has successfully evolved into Chandler Law. A legal team comprised of caring and committed professionals with over 75 years of experience collectively.
