Client-Focused Coaching, Litigation And Storytelling
At The Law Offices of Jeffrey R. Chapdelaine and Chapdelaine Consulting and Training Services, I draw on extensive experience in litigation, mental health therapy and theater to give clients an edge at trial.
Empowering clients and co-counsel throughout Massachusetts
Coaching And Consulting
Chapdelaine Consulting and Training Services works with attorneys, mental health care professionals and clients nationwide in areas where legal systems and mental health systems intersect.
Legal Services
I represent clients in criminal and civil cases throughout Greater Boston, drawing on unique insights and more than a decade of trial experience.
Client-Centered Consulting
In litigation, every argument is a story. Even when every fact is in your favor, how you present those facts can make every difference in a case. Drawing on years of trial practice and extensive experience as a mental health therapist, I help attorneys and their clients tell their stories in court.
My consulting business, Chapdelaine Consulting and Training Services, helps lawyers and their clients prepare for trial with coaching and drama therapy (psychodrama). Drama therapy allows witnesses to process traumatic experiences (such as injuries, arrests and catastrophic events) and give confident, compelling testimony. Drama therapy also allows lawyers the opportunity to discover the story that will resonate with the jury. Learn more about drama therapy in litigation.

Trial Practice
In addition to consulting on other attorneys’ cases, I maintain a litigation practice, representing clients in criminal and plaintiff’s civil cases throughout Massachusetts and nationwide. I have spent 20 years building a reputation for fierce advocacy and dedicated service.
I consider myself a “lawyer for the people” and believe that every client deserves compassionate guidance and attentive service. Litigation is stressful, but you are not facing it alone. When you need help through a challenging legal matter, put a respected litigator on your side.

Call Today For A Consultation
For matters that require keen trial skills and trauma-informed client focus, I invite you to reach out for a consultation, either at my office in Boston or remotely. I partner with clients throughout Massachusetts and nationwide.
