An amazing lawyer

I involved in two car accidents in the last two months and totally freaked out when the first accident happened. Not only because that was the first time in my life but also because I drove alone with a learning permit. Several friends referred me to the same attorney, Dr. Hong, so I went to him with...out hesitation. Dr. Hong is extremely professional, knowledgable and patient. We met a few times before the court date and he explained everything to me: the procedure, how the traffic law works etc. The first case went smoothly and the 2 points were directly dismissed, which was unbelievable. He was also very considerate to his clients. On the second court, he requested a civil reservation to protect me but was not granted immediately because the witness was absent. So he rearranged another court date instead of just waive my right and proceed. After these two cases, Dr. Hong has become a truly helpful friend as well as a respected mentor to me. I wish no one would break the law and everyone drive safely, however, if it happens, I would highly recommend Dr. Hong without hesitation.

A Superior Traffic Violation Defense Lawyer

I was caught on GSP and was given 5 tickets (three moving violations with total 9 point including 99 over 65, and two non-moving violations). I was referred to use Mr. Hong by several friends. Apparently, I made the right choice. He knows the nature of traffic law and the court procedure. I shall s...ay he knows everything! He forced prosecutor for discovery. Then, he went to court 4 times and filed a motion. As the result, all my three moving violations were directly dismissed including the speeding charge. All 9 points are gone! Oh, my! I am so happy for this result! When I walked out of the court, another person appearing the same court told me that I really got a superior lawyer.

An amazing attorney!

A ward of my guardian is not licensed to drive yet.  Unfortunately he drove 119 MPH and was caught.  He was charged with driving without a license, speeding 54 mile over 65 MPH speed limit, reckless and careless driving.  We retained Mr. Hong for this matter. All attorneys I consulted suggested a ple...a bargain such as take 4 or 5 points and/or 30-day suspension. Instead of simple plea bargain, Mr. Hong required discovery and filed a motion to push discovery from prosecutor’s office and state trooper.  He collected and studied all evidences extremely careful.  He went to court 4 times for this case.  Finally, all four charges were dismissed.  Mr. Hong put his client’s interest above everything, he pushed for the best result for his client, not just for an easy way out.  He is a very smart guy and is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer!  Compared with other attorneys I called, he has a very precise vision when he first got this case and he knew how to do it.  He did it!  Amazingly, all 4 counts dismissed!

HIRE THIS LAWYER!

I have retained the services of Mr. Hong in the past and, as before, I was impressed by his abilities. I hired Mr. Hong to help my son with a traffic violation for which he would have received 5 points on his clean driving record. This may not seem like a big deal, but my son's job requires that he h...ave a clean driving record at all times. Not only did Mr. Hong have all 5 points removed, but he also was able to have the surcharged that my son paid reduced almost by half. Mr. Hong is an excellent lawyer. He returns calls promptly and I never had to call him to see what was going on with the case because he kept me very well informed about court dates and supporting documents that my son needed. The case had a very favorable outcome and my son continues to have a clean driving record thanks to the efforts of Mr. Hong. You will do yourself an injustice if you do not hire him for your needs.

Outstanding Lawyer!!

I hired Mr. Hong recently for my son. He was charged with more 3 violations and over 7 points on his license. Mr. Hong handled his case with an extremely favorable outcome. He is very knowledgeable on the law and very professional. He was very accommodating to my son's work and school schedules. I ha...ve recommended him to several other people who have also had excellent outcomes for their cases. From traffic violations to divorces to corporate law, Mr. Hong is very well versed in the law. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer for any reason!!
