I hope this note finds you well. I am writing to express my profound gratitude for your exceptional representation and invaluable support during the recent personal injury case affecting my family. Your conscientious approach was especially evident the evening before a mediation hearing when you f...ound and shared an obscure case precedent that shifted the momentum in our favor. That extra mile—reviewing obscure rulings late at night—embodies the kind of thoughtful service that, sadly, is rare yet critical in a trusted attorney. Beyond your legal expertise, what touched us even more was your unwavering empathy. When fatigue and frustration got the better of us, your words of reassurance—"we'll keep fighting for what's right"—never failed to restore our hope. You balanced assertiveness with humanity, qualities that speak volumes of your character as an attorney and as a person. Thanks to your dedication, not only did we receive a settlement substantially above our expectations, but we also found clarity and comfort throughout a process that once felt overwhelming. More than securing justice, you restored our confidence and peace of mind. We feel exceptionally fortunate to have crossed paths with you. I wholeheartedly believe that your professionalism, ethical standards, and genuine care for your clients set a high bar for the profession. I will gladly refer anyone in need of legal representation to you, knowing they will receive top-tier counsel.

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!

专业敬业的杰出律师

我怀着无比感激的心情,写下这封感谢信,感谢您在我此次交通事故中的全力帮助。2023年3月1日的早晨,我在95号公路上发生了严重的交通事故,受到了后方车辆的猛烈撞击。事故让我轻微脑震荡并导致了后背的严重伤害,经过三个月的理疗,虽然有所改善,但后背的疼痛依然未能完全消除,记忆力也时常出现问题。回想起这一切,我心中依旧感到一阵阵痛苦和无奈。 从事故发生之初,我深感无助和困惑,不知该如何面对繁杂的赔偿程序和无法承受的痛苦,直到我遇到了您。在这段漫长的时间里,您不仅为我提供了专业的法律援助,更为我提供了精神上的支持。每当我对案件进展感到焦虑和困扰时,您总是耐心地为我解答,让我感到无比的安慰。 ...在您的帮助下,您与对方保险公司进行的艰苦谈判,最终使我获得了20,000美元的赔偿,这笔赔偿不仅大大减轻了我的经济负担,也让我对这场事故带来的痛苦有了些许的安抚。整个过程中,几乎所有的事务都是您亲自操办,尤其考虑到我因工作和家务繁忙,难以分身。您细心的处理让我从未感到孤单,您为我争取到的赔偿金额,也让我看到了您为客户着想的专业精神与敬业态度。 您的耐心、细致和专业让我深深感动,也让我深刻体会到什么是真正的律师精神。回顾整个案件,您不畏艰难,始终站在我的立场为我争取权益,您的付出让我感到深深的敬佩与感激。能够遇到像您这样的律师,是我这次艰难经历中的最大幸运。 衷心感谢您在这段艰难时光中给予我的帮助和支持,您的辛勤付出让我感受到无比的温暖。在未来的日子里,我将一如既往地为您推荐每一个需要帮助的朋友,因为我深知,您是我们这些在困境中需要法律帮助的人的坚强后盾。 再次向您表达我的感激之情,愿您事业蒸蒸日上,生活幸福美满!希望在未来,我们能继续保持联系,若有任何需要的地方,我会毫不犹豫地寻求您的帮助。

"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."
