completed ahead of schedule, and required that she bring successful resolution to several complex territorial access legal negotiations with various governments including that of the Navajo tribe. Between 1972 and 1974, Chasan was named the head of several key committees on California Trial Lawyers Association, the nation's largest state trial bar. Landmark case on disabled children In 1974, Chasan represented Ingrid and Heinz Breimhorst on behalf of their son Mark Breimhorst in their landmark case against chemical company Richardson-Merrell (later acquired by Dow Chemical) regarding disabilities and birth defects.

The property was built atop a scenic bluff with an uninterrupted panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, stretching from Redondo Beach to Santa Barbara. Columns were carved out of native limestone in Guadalajara, Mexico and reassembled on-site, doors were hand carved of loblolly pine, and the property included both a test kitchen and a front veranda and patio built to the edge of the cliffs with a deck-level pool. Connected to the property were three
