Attorney Amy Chapman

Why Do I Practice Criminal Defense?

I found a passion for criminal defense early on in law school and never looked back. I love the challenge that criminal defense brings to each and every case, but mostly I like using my skills and experience to help people through tough times. I have exclusively practiced criminal defense in Sonoma County since 2000. I spent my first 12 years of practice in the Sonoma County public defender’s office which has a very high caseload. I handled thousands of cases in misdemeanor and felony assignments.

I have had remarkable success both in front of juries and at the negotiating table. I am well liked and respected by judges and prosecutors due to my professionalism and preparation. My clients love that I am approachable, sincere, and have the unique ability to convey their stories with compassion and integrity to judges and juries to get the best possible result every time.

How Will I Treat You?

I want my clients and their families feel comfortable and informed about the case. The more comfortable and informed my clients feel about their cases, the less stressful it will be for them. My goal is to make the whole process as stress free as possible.
