非常感谢钟律师不遗余力的帮助!

尊敬的钟家钰律师: 您好! 我怀着无比感激的心情写这封信,衷心感谢您在我和儿子的车祸案件中给予的无私帮助。 2022年年底,我带着儿子去美国伊利诺伊州探亲。在送儿子上学途中,我们在过马路时被一辆右转车辆撞上。由于语言不通,又不了解美国的医疗体系和车祸处理流程,再加上因担心无法支付高昂的医疗费用,我们当时并未去医院检查。然而,我的头部、颈部、腿部、腰部等多部位受伤,我儿子也因巨大的冲击被撞飞,脸部擦伤,并受到了巨大的惊吓。面对这种情况,我一度感到无助,不知所措。 万幸在朋友的推荐下,我们联系到了钟律师。您的专业指导和热心帮助让我们感受到了莫大的安慰和支持。您还坚定地表示,后...续一切事宜交由您全权处理,我们只需按照您的建议,对自己的身体负责,专注于身体的康复即可。 感谢您全程为我们提供翻译和收集资料。经过您一年多不辞辛劳的努力,我接受了必要的康复治疗,也拿到了相应的赔偿。 千言万语难以表达我对您的感激之情。这不仅仅是一次车祸理赔,更让我在异国他乡感受到了来自同胞的温暖和关怀。您的热情与专业精神深深打动了我们,让我们感受到华人之间的温情与互助。 再次由衷地感谢您,钟律师。愿您一切顺利,事业蒸蒸日上! 此致 敬礼! 雪洁

The top-notch lawyer possesses both passion and intelligence along with a warm and caring heart.

I'm overflowing with gratitude for the exceptional support and dedication shown by the lawyer, Alexander Zhong. When my business encountered a challenging dispute with a client, Alexander's patience and expertise shone through. He invested countless hours and heartfelt effort into negotiating with th...e other party's lawyer, exploring every possible avenue to help us find a resolution. Thanks to his perseverance and creative problem-solving, we were able to achieve a perfect settlement agreement that significantly minimized our losses. I'm deeply appreciative of Alexander's hard work and expertise. Meeting him has truly been the highlight of my year. With heartfelt thanks and warm regards, Sam

为美华人维权守护神钟家钰律师你 点赞。。。

那是2023年1月4日第 N次行驶在95号高速下班回家的路上,一路听着音乐哼着小曲,突然一辆后方车辆超速冲往我前方旁减速带停下,只见我车后方右侧砰的一声,车辆爆胎极速开始摇摆,幸运的是控制住了方向盘安全的移到路旁的减速带停住了,后面撞我的车辆也停到了我前面。 那一刻彻底蒙圈了,心有余悸,不知所措,也许是劫后余生的迷惘,坐在车上久久不能平静。 后来第一辆急停的车主,下来询问了我和撞我车的人,接着帮忙叫了警察跟救护车,几分钟各种警消防车,救护车就到达了,救护车先检查了身体情况,确认没什么大碍就离开了,给了一个证明,说可以立即拉去医院或者明天自己回家找医院检查一下。 ... 我选择了留下,接着一名警察询问事故的经过,做了笔录拿了各类证件,让我坐在车上等待,另外一个车主也做了目睹的事情经过就离开了,接着是我看到撞我车的人,被警察拉出来,做了各种测试,接着被带上手铐,坐警车拉走了. 后来得知她是吸毒危险驾驶,最后警察给我事故单子和对方各类信息,接着等待拖车拉走下高速回家。 接着一个很棘手的问题问题出现了,对方是3无烂人一个,吸毒,驾驶证过期吊销,车辆无保险,难道劫后余生的我要自己承担所有的一切. 在我无助心有不甘的时候,我们最可爱的一个热爱跑步,热爱美食,热爱生活,风趣幽默,华人维权守护男神钟家钰律师出现了,他像黑暗中的一盏安拉丁神灯一样,满足了我各种帮助愿望需求。 他仔细分析了我的案件跟手上的资料,给了我最合理有效的方案,保障了我最大程度的权益。 案件处理期间,因为英语不好且居住在华人较少的区域,他不仅耐心的帮助我处理案件中专业法律问题,还积极帮助我找寻事故治疗附近的诊所医生,治疗过程中遇到语言及其它问题,还让我可以随时打电话帮我翻译沟通,尽心尽责帮助我解决了在治疗的过程中遇到的所有问题,还在平时交谈中额外的学习到了买车辆保险的各个条款的知识性跟重要性,避免了以后买车保险发生的潜在风险. 还有因为对方涉嫌吸毒危险驾驶等多项犯罪被起诉,我做为重要证人还得配合法院各种出庭,也许这些对于别人来说很简单,但是我是一个小白,英语能力又有限,这其中遇到的各种问题真的一言难尽了,自己该有多幸运这次遇到的贵人是钟律师,是他是他还是他,不遗余力的又帮我处理了这些他本职外的工作,不仅让我顺利完成了第一次上庭的经历,还惊喜的拿到了法官判给我500美元自付修车的钱,由衷的感谢钟家钰律师。 接下来就是跟保险公司确认理赔金额了,估价估计再估价,谈判谈判再谈判,最喜欢听到钟律师口头禅迷人的一句开场白:告诉你一个好消息。哈哈,在一次次这样的口头禅中,理赔金额也一次次在他辛勤耕耘的谈判后往上涨。多希望他再来给我几次这样开场白,不要鄙视我太贪心,只能怪钟家钰律师太优秀了。。。 终于到今天,这次的车祸经历落下了帷 幕,回头看了下时间,从发生到结束整整一年了,吐槽一下美国的办事效率,但是也衬托出钟律师的伟大. 整整一年这样的尽心尽力的帮助我处理案件,终于圆满结束了。 这次事故,很多发生的事情都是人生的第一次,感谢你钟律师帮助了走过我的人生中多个第一次,还有这一路来的无私陪伴,谢谢,最后祝钟家钰律师:工作顺利,为美华人维权守护神你 点赞。。。 致谢人:高鹏 2024年1月20日

Absolutely great lawyer!

So glad to have Mr. Zhong as my lawyer. We had some problems with our previous landlord and I just asked him one day in a party. I didn’t expect that he could help at all. It is more like a complain to the friends. At the moment, he told me that he was not be able to help. Surprisingly, a couple of m...onths later, he came back to me and asked if the problem was solved. And if not, he is now learnt a new way that may help us! I am deeply moved by his ability to learn and truly care about people.

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."
