Founding Partner - Trinette Chandler, Esq., LLM

I founded this firm to provide clients with excellent legal service from a team that understands and loves the law.  We are down-to-earth people who work hard for clients - whether they are a 3-person small business or a 300,000-employee defense contractor. Our firm has a heart.  And we practice, hone, and perfect our craft daily.  That is the simple essence of The Chandler Law Group, LLP. 

I am who you call when you have minor matters or bet-the-company strategic deals that require firm, decisive leadership and legal expertise.  Either way - I will be there to serve as your watchful, protective, trusted advisor.

I typically serve as legal counsel by applying skills learned in 25+ years of working in complex, high-visibility Federal contracts as an attorney, on-site contractor, and procurement consultant. I leverage the legal, business, and technical expertise gained while leading, winning, managing, and advising upon Fortune 500 firm's Department of Defense (DoD), national security, healthcare, and aerospace sector procurements, each worth $500M+. 

I am cleared to work in sensitive and classified environments.
