Impeccable professionalism and character

In January 2024, I faced an incredibly dark time, having been falsely accused and charged with three felonies and three misdemeanors. Alex Zhong gave me confidence, consistently encouraging me to believe that the law is just and would prove my innocence. During this period, Alex Zhong provided unwave...ring legal support, tirelessly answering all my questions. He offered comprehensive legal services and found a collaborating criminal defense lawyer for my case. Thanks to his efforts, I didn't even have to go to court. Within just three days, with the hard work of Alex Zhong and his collaborating lawyer, all charges against me were dropped, and I was declared innocent. Alex Zhong's legal expertise and character are impeccable. If you encounter any legal issues, I highly recommend seeking his assistance.

一个值得信赖的律师

钟家钰律师不愧是索赔专家!我去年被人撞了,事故现场相信对方哭泣道歉的话,错过了取得最有力证据的机会。事后对方司机撒谎,其保险公司不赔偿。光是修车费就是几千美元损失;更加难过的是,人怎么可以这么无耻!我非常后悔,经太太提醒,去找老朋友钟家钰律师。钟家钰眼光敏锐,从仅有的几张照片里边找到蛛丝马迹,证明对方很可能是错的,加上我儿子在车上,他认定对方不敢上庭撒谎。所以,他轻松决定接受我的案子,不成功不收费。过年的时候,我们一起吃饭,那个时候对方保险公司仍然撒谎拒绝赔偿,但是钟家钰律师说起这个事情一点都不着急。再后来他收集好材料,起诉对方,很快对方就投降了。钟家钰律师的同事接力谈判,最终对方保险公司免费给...我修车,还赔偿我人身伤害,付了律师费和医疗费之后,有五千多美元的盈余给我自己。非常感恩钟家钰律师。我家毫无保留地推荐他给朋友们。

最棒的律师,最全面的服务

钟家钰律师是我的邻居。我的妈妈在2022年出了一起车祸,她不会说英语。我妈妈马上想到给钟家钰律师打电话。从打电话报警,给事故现场拍照片,到之后去看医生,修车,租车,以及人身伤害索赔,都是在钟家钰律师的帮助下完成的。车修得很漂亮,人身伤害索赔的赔偿也让我们很满意。我们向所有人热烈推荐钟家钰律师!

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."
