感谢信

在此真心感谢钟家钰律师。今年一月底,我收到一封挂号信,需要我到邮局领取。到了邮局,签字后收到信件,原来是郡地区法院的罚单,说是州许可办公室 1 月中旬的一天下午 3 点钟在我家检查,inspecon 发现我在住处外无许可安装液化气罐,违反规定,需要付罚款 500 美元,并配合之后的纠正措施。我看了之后很生气,这完全是无中生有,颠倒黑白!我买房时液化气罐已在那里,是前任房主安装留下来的。去年 4 月底,我收到HOA 的信件,说社区不允许使用液化气罐,于是我在收到信之后两天内已经联系液化气公司将气罐拆除运走。怎么可能今年一月份检查还会发现有液化气罐?简直是天大的笑话!但可恶的地方在于,我还不得不去...想办法解决应对这无中生有的罪名。我们中国人一般不愿意跟法院和政府衙门打交道,都怕扯皮麻烦,怕将来有无休止的纠纷。但我冷静下来,觉得还是需要靠法律手段来维护自己的合法权益。我的信条一贯是 let the professional do the professional( 让专业人士去做专业方面的事情)。自己对法律不懂。我以前听说过钟家钰律师,看过他微信公众号上为华人客户维权,打官司成功的不少案例。刚好钟律师和我同一个教会,我立刻想到了他。打了电话后,钟律师信心十足地说,你放心,既然对方指控你,那么对方需要提供证据,需要提供照片,日期等等,他们显然拿不出来,我们一定会赢的。钟律师的话让我心里安稳下来。之后,他准备了给法庭的书面回复,解释了事情的来龙去脉,指出对方没有任何证据这件事(连进行检查人员的名字都没有)。我以为事情到此就应该结束了。然而,并没有。我 3 月 18 日收到地区法庭的信,要我 4 月 15 日早上 8:30 出庭。我给钟律师打了电话,他说不明白对方为什么还会选择出庭,他们没有一点赢的可能性啊。然后平静地说,“我们头天晚上电话里再商量一下,就这样,不用担心“。4 月 14 日晚上,钟律师和我在电话里沟通了一下,他说在法庭上他会问我几个问题,我只要如实陈述就行了。他会带上复印的证据(液化气公司挪走气坛的账单,有日期)。他还贴心地告诉我,在哪里有停车场,因为那边停车很困难,约好第二天早晨 8 点见面。第二天一大早我就起床,8 点钟赶到停车场,西装革履,一身职业装的钟律师已经等候在那里了。我们进去法庭大楼。在 5 楼等候开庭之前,钟律师和我一起虔诚地做了祷告,感谢主的恩典,求主保守一切顺利,让我们得到公平的结果。之后 8:30 我们进入法庭,和其他人一起等候开庭。后来工作人员要我们排队,到前面签到。到我和钟律师时,工作人员说,你们的 case 已经 dismiss 了,不需要审理了,你先等一下,待会会给你们书面证明。钟律师笑了,跟我说,看,我早就知道他们根本没有任何证据,只好撤销。后来我们拿到书面撤销文件,走出法庭,在外面一起合影,庆祝我们维权成功。非常感谢钟律师,他专业,耐心,热情,认真,为客户着想,是一位值得我们广大华人朋友们信赖的顶级律师!

Great Lawyer!

尊敬的钟家钰律师: 您好!满怀感激的心情提笔写下这封对您感谢信。我是2021年底在美国遭遇车祸后的受害者,85岁高龄的我,因突如其来的交通事故而陷入困境,虽然劫后余生并拥有医疗保险,但面对康复过程中的诸多难题、未来生活的不确定性以及高昂的生活费用等问题时,我一度感到无助和彷徨。正当我陷入迷茫和沮丧之际,钟律师主动伸出援手,让我在最绝望的时刻看到了希望,这无疑是我人生中的一大幸运。 钟律师不仅专业精通车祸及人身伤害法律法规,更难能可贵的是他耐心细致地向我及家人解释各种情况。他详细分析了事故后可能遇到的风险、相关费用以及保险索赔的程序,并为我们规划了一个切实可行的诉讼索赔方案。在复杂的法律程序中...,他时刻关注案件进展,积极跟进每一个细节,确保我的合法权益不受侵害。在整个过程中,钟律师展现了卓越的法律专业能力与无微不至的服务态度,他的真诚与热情缓解了我心中的焦虑和恐惧。 在诉讼过程中,面对棘手问题时,钟律师总能冷静分析、周密部署,采取有效措施化解危机。他不仅仅是法律服务的提供者,更像是我和家人的守护者,用专业实力与满腔爱心帮助我们争取到最大的赔偿与权益。回想整个经历,他给予我的不仅是专业的法律援助,更是一份温暖和力量,让我在逆境中重新看到了生活的曙光。 在此,我向钟律师表达最诚挚的谢意和由衷的敬意。正是因为你的全力支持和细致服务,我才能在困难的时刻坚定信心,顺利度过人生低谷。希望你在未来的工作中继续发扬敬业精神,帮助更多陷入困境的人重燃希望,共同书写更加美好的未来。 再次衷心感谢钟律师的无私帮助!祝愿你在法律事业上蒸蒸日上,再创辉煌! 万龙瑞 2025年3月16日

Great experience

感谢信 真心感谢钟家钰律师。之前有个“朋友”跟我们借钱,断断续续还了一部分之后就玩消失了。本着试试看的态度,我们咨询了大华府有名的钟家钰律师。我们和他最初是因为都喜欢香椿芽而结识,从他的朋友圈文章和公众号文章更多地了解了他,也学了很多东西;但是通常他讨论的是人身伤害索赔和刑事辩护,不知道他是否擅长处理经济纠纷。钟律师在了解了对方的情况之后,经过研究决定先发律师信然后战术性地起诉对方。事实证明钟律师的策略是完全正确的,对方在最后上庭之前决定和解并支付了欠款本金/利息/和违约金,以及部分律师费用。特别值得一提的是,钟律师后来请求我,允许他以后在欠债人需要维权的时候帮助欠债人,否则这个欠债人在了结这...个案子之后,有可能因为别的事情陷入无助的境地,这太残忍了。钟律师的这份坦率忠诚和爱心,让我们感动,我们当然同意。钟家钰律师时时刻刻站在我们角度着想,非常专业地完成任务,并超出了我们的预期。专业的事找专业的人来做:对于有财产纠纷的朋友,我们强烈推荐钟律师!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 06

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."
