About Chantene
Chantene Koplow graduated from New York University School of Law before launching a career that spans state and federal practice. She trained at a leading law school and took that legal foundation into practice on the West Coast. Her academic background informs a methodical approach in the courtroom and at the negotiating table.
Admitted to practice in California and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Koplow is active in matters that arise in both state and federal forums. She handles filings and court appearances in California courts and has the credentials to appear in Ninth Circuit proceedings. Colleagues describe her as steady and exacting in court work; she attends to procedural and substantive details in litigation.
Koplow maintains current memberships in professional associations. Those memberships provide opportunities for continuing legal education and peer engagement. She uses those forums to stay current on developments in case law and procedure that affect practice in California and the Ninth Circuit.
Her professional practice is conducted through The Law Offices of Chantene Koplow. At the firm, she manages client matters end to end, from initial intake through hearings and, when required, appellate filings. She aims for clarity in client communication. That includes explaining options and likely next steps after each court appearance or filing.
The work she does touches a range of issues that come before state and federal courts. She prepares pleadings, drafts briefs, conducts discovery and presents oral argument. In federal matters she follows circuit-level rules and precedent; in state matters she navigates California procedures and timelines. The mix demands attention to differing rules and practices, and she structures each matter to respond to those differences.
Koplow combines the analytic training from her law school years with practical courtroom experience. The result is a practice that addresses litigation needs across California and the Ninth Circuit. Her current practice focuses on matters brought in California state courts and appeals in the Ninth Circuit.
