Jack Chammas, Esq.
Jack Chammas is a California attorney since 1996. Born in Achrafieh, Lebanon, Jack came to the United States at the age of 16. He received his Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from University of Southern California, and then his Juris Doctor from Western State University. He started his own law practice in 1997 and gained his experience representing clients in many aspects of the law including business law, business litigation, criminal law, bankruptcy, immigration, and torts.
After two years into his private practice, Jack joined a California Corporation (FCTI) as its in-house general counsel. What started out as a small business venture eventually became the experience of his lifetime. Within ten years of working with FCTI, the company grew exponentially to a multi-million dollar institution operating in over 42 States.
Jack currently resides in Glendale, California where he also maintains his private law practice. Recently, Jack was involved in complex commercial litigation and commercial breach of contract cases. He has represented clients in federal and state courts. He is particularly skilled at simplifying complex matters for presentation to courts and juries. He prides himself on offering efficient and quality service and strongly believes that building a law practice is not about billable hours but about client trust. His life motto: “You can only enjoy success once you really experience failure. Success, therefore, is to be able to fall down and stand up and walk again.”
Jack has actively served several non-profit organizations and has received multiple commendations for his dedication and work to the community. He is also proud to be one of the original founders of the Lebanese American Foundation, Inc. (LAF). He has served on LAF’s board since its inception and has also served as an officer for the LAF for many years. His dream, like all members of the LAF, is to see the House of Lebanon project in full gear very soon. His love for Lebanon and his respect for his fellow Lebanese Americans has been the thriving force in keeping him steadfast as a devoted servant of the LAF for so many years.
Through the LAF, Jack cherishes the friendship and strong ties he has built with his fellow Lebanese Americans living in California. He enjoys and looks forward to the dinners, the-get-togethers, the banquets, and other functions. He is an avid swimmer, loves Arabic music and enjoys a good Cuban cigar, only on occasions. (And almost every day, he has an occasion).
