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...
"Alex has been an amazing co-counsel in several serious claims that we have worked together in the Phoenix area. Not only is he competent, he is kind, and a very diligent attorney who cares deeply for his clients. I would highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Alex is available at all hours. He fights tirelessly for his clients. He is never satisfied with anything less than the best result possible in his view. He is very smart about the attorneys with whom he chooses to partner. He is extremely intelligent and has a lot of life experience. He cares deeply for fighting for his clients. Andrew Jezic"
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Alex on behalf of our mutual clients. I highly recommend him to all potential clients. He is extremely honorable and a great communicator."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. We co-counseled on a case in AR, and he is a very strong advocate for his clients."
"Alex Is an Great Attorney, I Strongly Endorse Him Alex is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him to all potential clients. He is extremely honorable and always puts his clients first. He is a great communicator and he will return your emails and text messages right away. He is also very experienced and knowledgeable and obtains great results in his cases and for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Alex is a talented lawyer who is doggedly determined to provide top- notch results for his clients."
"Attorney Zhong treats each of his clients with respect and care. He is thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely attentive to the people he represents. He regularly checks in, makes sure questions are answered, and takes the time to explain things in a way that feels reassuring rather than rushed. It’s clear he takes his clients’ concerns seriously and approaches each case with real integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who truly shows up for their clients."
"I am a trial lawyer throughout Maryland and have frequently had the opportunity to work with Mr. Zhong. He is a fine lawyer who puts his clients first, cares about their results, and has reasonable fees. I highly recommend him and his firm."
"Alex is an excellent lawyer in his community and does a great job building the right team for the right case, whether in Maryland or out-of-state.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for counsel in a personal injury case."

"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."
"Alex is thorough and understands the intricacies of Personal Injury law. We have worked on many matters together and I look forward to his dedication and passion on future matters. I recommend Alex for anyone who is interested in utilizing the assistance of a hard working personal injury lawyer!"
