Grateful for Professional, Patient, and Trustworthy Support

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Lawyer Zhong for his generous help and support. Although we have only communicated online, I was deeply impressed by how patient, reliable, and responsive he has been throughout our entire interaction. Every question I had was answered promptly and thou...ghtfully, which gave me great confidence and reassurance during a very stressful time. Lawyer Zhong went out of his way to connect me with AJ and his legal team, using his personal professional relationship built over many years. This introduction was incredibly valuable to me, and I truly appreciate his willingness to help without asking for anything in return. What touched me most was not only his efficiency, but also his genuine kindness and sense of responsibility. Even through online communication alone, I could clearly feel his sincerity and professionalism. I am truly thankful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, patient, and reliable legal professional.

专业、细心、耐心

九个月前,我看到一篇有关车祸案子写给钟律师的感谢信,让我联系到了注册在外州的钟律师,他几乎联系了孟菲斯所有的律师事务所,终于找到了Sponsor律师而成为我的律师。他在本职业务方面的专注与努力令人感动和敬佩。钟律师成为我的律师是我人生的幸事,他在我最困难、最无助的时候,接受了我的案子,给我司法援助,解决了我长时间努力却无法解决的难题。钟律师卓越的专业能力给我留下深刻的印象,让我有信心运用法律、法规维护自己的合法权益。

An experienced and professional attorney for car accident

I was involved in a T-bone collision while driving through a green light at a traffic crossing. The other driver ran a red light, with her 9-year-old son sitting in the front passenger seat (apparently violating safety rule). She immediately apologized, saying she wasn't paying attention to the red t...raffic signal. I called 911, and the driver admitted her fault to the police officer as well. The police officer provided a data sheet with both insurance details, and she was listed as the personnel #1, usually the party in fault. Given the clear circumstances, I assumed the claim would be straightforward since the other driver admitted. I contacted her insurance company, AXX, to file a claim. They assured me that it would be handled properly once they verified the information with the driver. The next day, I called AXX again to inquire about car rental instructions since my car was no longer drivable. To my surprise, AXX told me they couldn’t reach their insured driver despite several attempts. I started feeling uneasy, so I immediately contacted my long-time friend, Attorney Alex Zhong, for advice. Attorney Zhong explained that it was quite common for insurance companies like AXX to avoid responsibility whenever possible. He provided me with detailed instructions on how to proceed in case AXX denied liability. As expected, after three weeks, AXX officially denied responsibility, claiming that their insured driver had a different version of the incident. It was shocking to me how someone could lie to avoid accountability, especially in a civil society and the driver does have insurance. Unfortunately, there were no cameras at the intersection to provide video evidence of the accident. However, I had taken a video with my iPhone right after the crash, which proved to be crucial. Attorney Zhong, despite being busy with the transition to a new firm, continued to analyzed my video, pictures and handle my case. He estimated there would be an 80% chance of winning in court. Fast forward 16 months, and the court hearing was scheduled. With the help of Attorney Zhong and his former partner, we won the case. But his assistance didn’t stop there—he also helped me secure additional compensation from my doctor and demanded reimbursement for car rental costs from AXX, who conveniently ignored their responsibility to property damage. In summary, Attorney Zhong was an incredibly reliable attorney. His experience, detailed instructions and unwavering support throughout the entire process played a significant role in our success. I am grateful for his efforts and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Top-Notch Lawyer You Can Truly Trust

I am extremely grateful for the exceptional service provided by Attorney Alexander Jiayu Zhong. From the very beginning, he demonstrated professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine care for my case. He patiently guided me through every step, kept me fully informed, and made the entire process ...smooth and stress-free. What truly impressed me was his outstanding negotiation skills and unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcome. Not only did Mr. Zhong secure an excellent settlement for my personal injury claim, but he also successfully recovered a significant amount of diminished value (depreciation) for my car, which I never expected. This alone speaks volumes about his attention to detail and commitment to maximizing every part of my recovery. Mr. Zhong is responsive, knowledgeable, and always puts his clients’ interests first. Thanks to his hard work and persistence, my case was resolved efficiently and with results far better than I could have imagined. If you are looking for an attorney who is skilled, trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what he does, I wholeheartedly recommend Alexander Jiayu Zhong. He is the best!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Having served as a prosecutor in a major prosecutorial office as well as practiced as a defense attorney for over forty-five years, I realize how important it is to have excellent support staff in criminal defense cases. This is particularly true when handling cases involving foreign nationals whose English is limited and whose witnesses speak little or no English. I highly recommend Alex to other attorneys who are dealing with cases involving Chinese nationals who have difficulty understanding the English language and, in many cases, may speak little, if any, English."
