A professional and supportive attorney

Dr. Hong is a very professional and supportive attorney. He did a lot of work to help me dismiss/downgrade my traffic tickets. He considered things might happen in the future, so he asked for a civil right reservation for me. He's very reliable and patient. He explained the details for me to understa...nd the process and answered my questions again and again. Highly recommend Dr. Hong!

Professional lawyer; Three tickets two dismissed one downgraded

Lawyer Hong is very professional at dealing with traffic ticket cases. My car collided anther car during a left turn and got three tickets (two were related to unregistered vehicle cause I forgot to register). When I went to Lawyer Liwu Hong, he patiently discussed my case with me, calmed me down a...nd told me our plan. I felt much better (since this was really my first accident) and hired him as my lawyer for the case immediately. It turns out I made the right decision. Lawyer Hong is very professional about the case handling procedure. He instructed me to do what I should do and kept me noticed with the progress. Before we went to the virtual court, he provided detailed strategy for talking to the judge. And finally, two of my three tickets were totally dismissed. One of the ticket was downgraded from careless driving to unsafe driving. Since lawyer Hong also asked for civil right reservation, no points were removed at all from my license. It was a big win!

Giving thanks

I loved having him working with my family. We had a hard time understanding English and he helped us through it all. This time when we were having some difficulties buying a house. Mr. Hong helped us find ideas and help to be where we are now. When we were having trouble with the IRS he was there to ...help us write a letter for the IRS and helped us. He made sure that everything was ok and we were back on track again. When we had any questions about either the IRS or with our house he was so patient and nice with us understanding our situation. I would like to thank him so much for his help for our family and helping us deal with our worries.

The best lawyer I have ever met

Mr Hong helped me with my traffic tickets. All of the tickets are really serious. To be honest, I even got a warrant from the court and had been taken to the police department. This is not a small case to be caught into the police department. Mr Hong heard about my story, and he is really willing to ...help me. When we were solving my case together, I found that he was really professional and experienced. He told me to relax and he can handle this case and also told me about some other more seriously cases to make me relax. He is a very kind person, we also talked about the interested stories in our daily life. We solved the complicated case successfully in a pleasant environment. Mr. Hong is not only my lawyer, but also my friend. I highly recommend him and you will never be regretful to do so.

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.
