Biography

Effective Representation For Those Who Need It MostAt Chester Law Office, we are committed to helping the underdogs. Ed Chester and Laura Ezzell became attorneys to advocate and fight for those who need it most: people who have been injured or who have lost loved ones and are entitled to compensation. We represent clients throughout northern Indiana and especially in Elkhart County. Those people cannot do this on their own. Fighting giant insurance companies and enormous corporations is a daunting and overwhelming task unless you level the playing field with experienced personal injury lawyers.
