William Chanfrau, Jr. in His Own Words
I was born and raised in Daytona Beach, where I now continue our family's legacy as a partner at Chanfrau & Chanfrau.
My decades of experience in personal injury, personal injury protection (PIP) litigation, criminal law, and general practice enable me to serve my clients and their families with keen insight, professionalism, and enthusiasm.
I am very active in both the local and legal arenas with a deep commitment to give back to the community that has been my family's home for well over 70 years.
I am grateful for these opportunities and the ability not only to carry on the legacy of Chanfrau & Chanfrau but also to be of service to those in our community who may not otherwise have a voice.
