Extremely helpful, friendly, and competent

Hieu helped me immensely preparing for a hearing concerning a Complaint for Contempt that I had filed against my ex-wife. He was absolutely on point with his advice regarding how to frame the issue in court, how to present the evidence, and on the proper court procedure. Thanks to his guidance, I was... able to successfully navigate the hearing and achieve the precise outcome that I was hoping for. If you are looking for a competent, caring, and savvy attorney, Hieu will unquestionably deliver for you!

An attentive, compassionate, and expert lawyer

Hieu was nothing short of amazing while guiding me through my divorce process. He always made time to answer all of my questions, and carefully stewarded me through the financial forms while offering expert advice. I never felt like I was always "on the clock" with him when sending emails or textin...g and he kept me on budget. Hieu also worked well with my ex-wife's attorney, helping to avoid sticky situations as well as making sure I got everything I was legally entitled to. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce, whether amicable or not. He is a compassionate professional who really knows his stuff, and while definitely skilled in diplomacy, has the ability to be tough if necessary on your behalf. I felt confident that I was well represented at all times!

Very Responsive and Excellent Service

Attorney Hieu did a fantastic job counseling me and helping me draft and execute a prenuptial agreement involving a complicated set of circumstances where my fiancé was an undocumented immigrant that was I intending to marry and sponsor though the I-130 petition process. Attorney Hieu was very know...ledgable, accessible, responsive, thoroughly answered all of my questions and provided me with excellent legal advice and service. Without reservation, I recommend attorney Hieu to anyone seeking a prenuptial agreement.

Kind, culturally sensitive, and astute!

I can't say enough about Attorney Nguyen. He helped me with my prenupt and then 7 years later was by my side with my complicated and emotionally charged divorce which took almost 2 years to finalize. Even though the divorce was mutually agreed upon, I didn't want the legal process to cause more damag...e between me and my soon to be ex-wife and initially I wasn't sure if a man would have the sensitivity to work with an Asian female. Attorney Nguyen was incredible on all accounts. He listened and was sensitive to cultural differences in communication styles/processes between me and ex but at the same time was able to zero in on key issues and decisions that had to be made which left me feeling reassured and empowered. There were many twists and turns in my process which felt exhausting but Attorney Nguyen persisted, was an excellent guide, and always moved things forward. Attorney Nguyen is responsive, determined, transparent, and sharp. I highly trust and value his work.

My consultation with Atty. H. Nguyen

There really isn’t enough I can say about my experience with Atty. Hieu Nguyen! Right from the start I picked up on his knowledge and passion for the law, as well as his compassion and bedside manner for me as a potential client. He laid before me all avenues I could take with regard to my custody c...oncerns - explaining all possible - and most likely - outcomes. I was able to negotiate what I wanted, and learned when it was best for me to comprise and yield. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. If I need any familial law expertise again, or know of someone who does, I will forever recommend Mr. Nguyen!!
