Hieu will give you the fastest, most comprehensive prenup and bring his own opposing counsel too, at really good rates!

My fiance and I originally despaired of finding a lawyer for our prenup - with a month and a half to go, and two previous lawyers having outright refused to take us on before our wedding, we had (almost) given up all hope.You need six months, everyone said, six months to execute a prenup - and we, po...or souls that we were, had simply learned this fact too late. So you can understand why I say here that having Hieu, who came highly recommended, was nothing short of a miracle. In *three weeks*, he executed our entire prenup from start to end - meeting over the Christmas holidays, holding extensive review calls, thoroughly walking me through my options with a professional chart and template, responding to my harebrained emails with patience and grace (turns out I *can* round my account values down to two decimal places!), all without missing a single legal step. I now possess a 30-page prenup, with _all_ the financial disclosure needed for this to hold up in court, and am about to have my wedding in February stress-free, having achieved something both of us had always wanted. Hieu not only did all this, but could recommend his own excellent opposing counsel, whom my fiance liked at once, so we didn't even have to waste time searching. Did I mention Hieu could do tall this *while* having really reasonable rates? The two lawyers I'd spoken to prior planned to charge twice as much and wouldn't have been half as fast. If you're reading this and wondering if a prenup like what we had with Hieu is for you, we're the sort of practical yuppie couple that could have been happy with HelloPrenup (if it had any actual legal merit) - we'd both wanted them because some of the MA defaults, like separate income becoming joint property, didn't make sense to us, and we thought of the whole thing in the way people think of life insurance: a way to take care of a loved one during the unthinkable. Finding lawyers who understand that and work with that is surprisingly rare. Hieu is stellar at what he does, and I'm so glad I got him. 10/10, would hire again (though hopefully only for postnup modifications :D).

Knowledgeable, attentive, honest

I highly recommend the services of Attorney Nguyen. Throughout my divorce, he was exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive to all of my questions. It was a stressful and contentious process, but Hieu was supportive every step of the way. He always replied promptly with clear, honest and... informative guidance—especially regarding child support matters. I am incredibly grateful to have had Hieu’s expertise and support to help me navigate through this process.

Professional, reliable, effective representation for my divorce

I strongly recommend Attorney Nguyen to anyone going through a separation or divorce from their spouse. Hieu has been and continues to be a professional and reliable source of support throughout the entire process of divorcing my spouse of 10+ years. In my case, the divorce was heavily contested, ...with wide disagreement on a not insubstantial amount of marital assets. Hieu's assistance in navigating the separation and pre-trial negotiations was essential. In what was already an intensely painful process from a practical as well as emotional perspective, Hieu managed to bridge this divide successfully through expert management of the opposing side. He anticipated many pitfalls that might have otherwise tripped up my case, and ultimately produced a fair settlement agreement that avoided an expensive and lengthy trial. A divorce is one of the most painful and potentially traumatizing experiences there is. I can't recommend Attorney Nguyen highly enough for anyone facing that situation.

Highly efficient and service-oriented attorney!

Hieu did a fantastic job drafting my prenuptial agreement. As early as the initial consultation, he listened attentively to my goals for the prenup, explained various future financial scenarios to consider, and was transparent about expected costs (which actually ended up being lower due to his quick... yet thorough work). Throughout the entire process, Hieu was highly responsive, was generous with his expertise and knowledge, and exuded warmth in our conversations. Hieu wrote a detailed prenuptial agreement that accurately depicts my and my partner's wishes, and walked me through the legalese on every page. He's also super friendly; the in-person signing of the agreement was more pleasant than a lawyer meeting has any right to be. I always felt well-represented and respected. His rate is more than reasonable for the quality of service. If you need a friendly, efficient, and professional family law attorney to represent you, Hieu's your guy.
