Matthew W. Chapel is a Fort Wayne-based criminal defense attorney. If you're facing charges in Indiana or Ohio, let him be your heavy. Why? Because he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, and once a Marine, Always a Marine. "I treat my client’s case in a way similar to how I learned to complete tasks in the Marine Corps: I stay focused to complete my objective. For example, when I was in the Marine Corps, I carried a 40-pound pack as well as a 30-pound mortar-base plate on a 20-mile hike through volcanic ash. What happened? I became exhausted. I was uncomfortable. I was in pain. And I wanted to quit. But when you’re in the Marine Corps, you don’t quit. You have a place to go and a job to do when you get there – and you do it. If it takes me 10 hours to prepare my client to be his own best witness when he testifies, I’m going to do that. If it takes me 10 hours to prepare an important brief that will lead to the reduction of my client’s charges, I’ll do it. If it takes me 10 hours to perform a deposition for my client, she’ll be confident that I’ve been thorough in my investigation. As painstaking as criminal law can be, I know that my client’s future and freedom is at stake. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Let me fight for you." --Matthew W.
