Douglas V. Chandler has opened his own firm handling professional liability matters after 12 years in practice with Frank J. Beltran.

Chandler left Beltran & Chandler to start Chandler Law, located at 5447 Roswell Road, this fall. He said that at 41 he was ready to start his own firm. “Frank and I had a great relationship, but it was time for me to expand a bit and get some flexibility in the cases that I selected,” said Chandler.
