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.

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.

Recommend without reservation

I have been working with more than 50+ real estate attorneys in my career and Liwu Hong is the best. Both I and my clients were very glad that we found him as he has made the whole process a breeze. His domain knowledge on real estate is top-notch; his honesty and professionalism made my clients com...pletely trust the decisions he helped made. He is very responsive and responsible. It seems he is always working for my clients, even we know he has many other clients to work with at the same time. He did countless awesome jobs for my clients when they were searching for dream houses across the whole garden state. As a realtor, I am more than 100% satisfied with him. A reliable, warmhearted and patient real estate attorney! I recommend him without reservation!

Attorney Hong Provided Outstanding Counsel Service to Protect Client Interest

I was a defendant in a harsh contest Divorce case. When I faced those legal problem, I was so much fear and hopeless. I even developed major depressive disorder. I thought I would lose everything in this case and even thought of giving up. Attorney Hong is a friend of mine for 10 years. But I haven’...t bothered him in any legal service since my life was beautiful and smooth before until I ran into trouble with my wife (ex-wife). Attorney Hong kept me calm and explained to me the worst case scenario in my situation. He always tells the truth and wants me to face the reality and try to calm down my fear and worry. Attorney Hong helped me to file the Answer and Counter Claim. After I filed the Counter Claim, I was still very nervures and fear. But during the case development with patient and calm, there was a glimmer of hope. The other party changed her attorney and passed over a message for amicable settlement. Attorney Hong’s outstanding negotiation and communication helped to break the ice of the dead case. He established a communication channel between me and the other party. Then during the offer setting and bargaining, he tried to make the other party to face the real expectation and moved forward the case in a win-win situation. Then finally I and my wife (ex-wife) reached a Property Settlement Agreement. The case turned to uncontested hearing and we got the case close very sooner. Overall, Hong and I built up a trust and we worked together to solve the problem. Hong’s service was in top quality and saved me tremendous time and money.
