Attorney Zhong is a trustworthy lawyer with excellent character and professional skills.

When I changed lanes, a car next to me was involved in an accident. The driver of that car became furious and demanded compensation from me. I was at a loss, so I called Attorney Zhong. He spent his time and energy, and with great enthusiasm and detailed professional legal knowledge, he explained th...e situation to me clearly and concisely. He helped me protect my rights free of charge and prevented me from being subjected to unreasonable claims.

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.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 06

"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."
