I became an attorney to ensure that all people were treated fairly, especially those who might not otherwise have a voice—and that personal aim aligns perfectly with Schlichter Bogard’s mission and values. I am honored and privileged to be joining such a respected litigation powerhouse,” said Mr. Chapa.
