A tremendous help

I hired Mr. Chen to help me fight my unemployment appeal hearing. My former employer appealed my initial hearing even though I won and they did not let me go for good reason. Mr. Chen went above and beyond to help me win my appeal hearing. He put together a great approach and I would highly recomm...end.

I appreciate your unqualified endorsement of me. This former employer was and continues to be a tenacious adversary. I feel privileged to be representing you. Thank you for your trust in me.

gave us valuable legal advice

My wife and I wanted to start a business that sells products overseas and we didn't know what permits/licenses required. we searched the internet for weeks and couldn't find any answers until avvo.com sent me a list of its top lawyers. I posted my queries on avvo and in less than 5 minutes, Mr. Che...n was able to give me the answer. Then I decided to ask for a consultation. Mr. Chen gave me the best legal advice and explained everything in detail so I could understand. Mr. Chen is very professional, affable, excellent, caring and he is super easy to talk to. We are looking forward to work with him in the future.

Wow, Eddy. Thanks so much for your rave review! I look forward to working with you and your wife. To prepare vendor and distribution agreements involving cross-border transactions, it’s prudent for importers to also retain foreign counsel to verify local legal requirements.

Mr D

You will not find a more attentive, customer service oriented, and respectful attorney. Mr. Chen cares and works hard for people.

Thank you very much for your confidence in me. You articulated what I try to do for every client of mine, which is to be very attentive to every client’s need, provide the most complete and responsive customer service possible, and to show the utmost respect not just to my clients but also everyone that I might encounter in the engagement, including adversaries.

Very Capable Lawyer in Medical Technology

I am a physician and co-founder of various medtech companies. As a lawyer, Carlton very capably has represented me in a variety of matters, including fund raising, corporate governance, and compliance, together with drafting and negotiating agreements related to executive compensation, medical techno...logy licensing, institutional review board (IRB), and cooperative/sponsored research, with Columbia, Yale, and other university and private partners. I highly recommend him without reservation.

Thank you, Steven. I always have enjoyed representing you and your work with other medical doctors in the field to develop new, innovative medical technologies. It's truly satisfying to know that my practice of law, however indirectly, can have a positive effect to improve the quality of human life.
