A highly recommended professional lawyer

The lawyer specializing in personal injury and auto insurance claims was highly professional. He successfully helped me claim damages for both the car and personal injury. Their team is very responsible, patient, and has an excellent attitude. I highly recommend their service. I am very grateful for ...everything they did for me.

反败为胜,成功获得对方保险公司赔偿。

我是从朋友处得知钟律师的,并将我的一个车祸案件,被两家大华府地区著名律师事务所告知,由于既没有警察报告,也无目击证人,且我提供的仅有的照片也无法证明对方过错为由拒绝受理。而对方保险公司也拒绝依据事发现场照片给与我赔偿,成功获得了胜诉,并获得应有的赔偿。(钟律师很快从我提供的现场照片中发现了足以证明对方犯错的依据)。 介于比,大家如有车祸索赔案件,强力推荐钟律师!

Trusted Advice, Strong Referral, Excellent Outcome

After moving to Virginia, I was rear-ended four times over a four-year period. Fortunately, I met Attorney Zhong before the third incident. Although he could not represent me directly because the accident occurred in Virginia, he provided many valuable tips on how to handle a collision, which greatly... strengthened my case. He also referred me to Attorney Kohl to represent me locally. The outcome was excellent—the insurance company covered all of my medical expenses and paid more than $24,000 in compensation for lost wages. I truly appreciate Attorney Zhong’s professionalism and strong professional network.

An Attorney Who Truly Puts Clients First

I consulted Alexander Zhong regarding my own car accident and later recommended him to a friend for hers. He was extremely helpful and genuinely prioritized the best interests of his clients, rather than simply focusing on securing business. Mr. Zhong is highly professional and knowledgeable in his a...reas of expertise. He is also passionate about public education on driving safety and awareness. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal support in this regard.

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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
