Marc Chapdelaine
President
My name is Marc E. Chapdelaine, Managing Partner at Chapdelaine, Ryan & Associates in Winthrop. Since founding my law firm in 2006, I’ve dedicated my career to strategic, results-driven representation in complex legal matters. In 2023, I partnered with Tim Ryan to expand our capabilities and deepen our commitment to serving clients. With over two decades of litigation and trial experience, I focus on civil litigation, personal injury, criminal defense, fiduciary disputes, catastrophic injury, and estate planning.
I earned my J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 2002, following a B.A. from Stonehill College in 1999. That same year, I was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar, and in 2003, I gained admission to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. My academic foundation continues to inform a career grounded in rigorous analysis and ethical advocacy.
Throughout my professional journey, I’ve been honored with an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell since 2017 and have received the Platinum Client Champion Award annually. I’ve been recognized as a New England Super Lawyer since 2014 and previously earned Rising Star honors from 2009 to 2013. I’m proud to be a Fellow of both the Litigation Counsel of America and the Massachusetts Bar Foundation.
As President of the Winthrop Chamber of Commerce, I champion Winthrop’s local business development, community networking, and mentorship. I also serve on the Executive Board of the Greater Lynn Bar Association and the Board of Directors of the Essex County Bar Association. My civic leadership includes chairing the Winthrop Board of Licensing (2018–2021) and the Winthrop Ordinance Review Committee (2022). Currently, I serve on the Winthrop Zoning Board of Appeals.
Outside my professional and civic responsibilities, I’m proud to coach Little League and youth soccer.
