Carlton S Chen

I contacted Mr. Chen with a question related to the return of security deposit as I am looking into suing my landlord. Mr. Chen responded very quickly via email and provided a very detailed response in a manner that was easy to comprehend. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and honest about the options... of securing representation for my housing issue case. If I did need an attorney, I would feel comfortable moving forward with Mr. Chen.

I have a podcast and a blog and am considering inviting comments from the public. I called Attorney Chen for advice on legal liability should a guest on either the pod or blog violate intellectual property rights. He listened carefully, advised me over the phone on means to protect against legal acti...on, and, then, sent by email a very useful summary that I will keep by my computer. He reviewed some of my podcasts and found nothing of concern. His advice gave me confidence. I will assess my time availability and, if sufficient, will go public well prepared. I recommend Attorney Chen enthusiastically.

I contacted Carlton via Avvo regarding an easement issue, Carlton gave me a free consultation & guided me to the right path I needed even though he referred me to the right professional needed in my case, & didn't make a dollar on me! He reviewed the docs I had to advise me of my obligations & li...abilities involved—Great service!

Mr. Chen was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He attended to all of my needs and questions about intellectual property as well as responded very quickly. If I have any further questions/ work, best believe I will be returning back to him. I highly recommend him as a lawyer, he has the experience an...d passion you're looking for!

Attorney Chen helped me with a severance dispute with my employer and because of him I was able to get the severance agreement signed within a matter of days, to the full extent of my satisfaction. During our initial phone conversation he was kind and generous with information and advice. Our call la...sted longer than the scheduled time but I was treated with professionalism, kindness and respect and he warmly encouraged me to fight for my right, while maintaining professionalism and without burning any bridges. Like Attorney Chen mentioned, my case would have been otherwise handled on contingency and that would have meant losing as much as half of the payout to legal fees. But Carlton didn't go for that route, he simply taught me some negotiations dos and donts, guided me towards the right direction, and only charged for the agreements he drafted which my employer ultimately signed. Carlton always responded quickly throughout the time we were on this case and even worked on father's day to draft the agreements for me while his family was visiting him - not only that, he also advised me to hold my ground, that I don't have to back down or compromise so easily, all the while handling it with grace. The wisdom and lessons I have learnt throughout this experience is not something that can simply be measured by the money that he helped me get. I can't recommend Attorney Chen highly enough, and if you're considering working with him, do not hesitate, he is excellent.
