Fantastic group, very technically competent and willing to explain the nitty gritty and answer questions. Very helpful for contract negotiations. Have used the service twice in 2017 and 2022 and will be using again next time it's needed.

I'm pleased to support the physician contract review, az board of nursing defense, and other professional licensing board defense services (Arizona Medical Board, etc.) in a marketing capacity. In addition to these, I also support the medical contract lawyers, as they review nurse practitioner, dentist, veterinarian, and physician assistant employment contracts. I have nearly a decade of experience in human resources, as a contract recruiter. I came to Chelle Law because I was in need of a stable income source, in addition to my commission based pay, during/after the pandemic Like anyone searching for a new job, they want money. The reason for this review goes beyond money. I was able to join a team with an owner who knew what he wanted. There was clarity in the work to be done. He's also growth-minded and open to new ideas, which lead to us implementing new tactics and strategies to grow the law firm. As I grew in my role, so did the firm. I was the 4th person on the team, and we soon grew to 12 (at the time of this review). As we grew from 4 to 12 people, I learned all kinds of aspects of my position (and am still learning) that kept me interested and engaged. This includes all kinds of knowledge and skills in Wordpress, SEO, Email, Social Media, Facebook Ads, YouTube, and more. Further, we grew to incorporate a marketing team of independent contractors, which has further given me knowledge and skill in management. To be interested, to be engaged and to grow professionally are all very big pluses for any position you find yourself in. I'm so grateful for the opportunity and time I've spent here. Thank you.

I came upon the Chelle Law group via an online search. After my initial phone call with their office I was greeted with a competent, patient, and enthusiastic staff member who glady learned about my needs and scheduled a telephone consultation at my convenience. They easily accommodated a few last minute scheduling conflicts and ultimately I had a great interaction with a competent and patient attorney. I was satisfied with their service and glad there was no additional charge if additional questions would arise after our time ended.

I contacted Chelle law to help me review my first PA contract as a new graduate. They helped me clearly understand all of the terminology and negotiate the terms of my contract. Highly recommend!

I was blown away by the professionalism and compassion provided by Tobi. Although they were not able to represent me this firm took the time to listen and provided me with the best advice they could. I only wish I had come here first.
