Cassandra Mann-Haye Chin

I was struggling through my divorce, going through an emotional, long and never ending legal battle. I finally had to find a different attorney. After consulting with various attorneys, I was referred to Ms. Cassandra Chin. Cassandra is wonderful. She took the time to explain thoughtfully every n...uances of my rights and the Law in a language that I can understand. She was very patient with me and my questions, always letting me know what was going without having to ask for updates. She was thorough and quick to respond, moving the process expeditiously. She has the combination of extreme professionalism and yet very endearing and approachable. She looked you in your eye and you know and feel she will work hard for you. Cassandra took the burden off my shoulders from the first we met in her office until the end. She gave me the confidence and peace of mind that allowed me to heal and focus on other priorities in my life. I can't thank Cassandra and her exceptional team enough on what they have giving me and my family, which is a refreshing new start. She is one of a kind and the best!!!

I'm leery of lawyers, especially divorce lawyers. But Cassandra put those concerns to rest. She is singularly professional and focused not on squeezing every last dollar out of a client, but rather providing high-quality service with the client's best interests at heart. She provides sound, well-t...hought-out advice and counsel. I will return to employ her services in the future, and would heartily recommend her to anyone in need of her professional services.

I was referred to Nichols Zauzig Sandler by a local judge. My second marriage had unraveled and was headed for divorce which prompted my first wife to file for custody of my daughter. I was going to need someone to represent me on both fronts, and I knew that Cassandra was the right person for the ...job. From the moment I met her, I knew she would always have my best interest in mind. From the initial consultation, Cassandra was the consummate professional. She took copious notes and made sure she understood what it was that I wanted before offering up solutions. In every interaction, she readily recalled the details of my case and made reasonable judgements and assumptions as situations came up. She was a trusted adviser and helped me stay focused as she crafted reasonable solutions on my behalf. Her briefs, motions, and other legal documents were first-class and of the highest quality. She always presented a compelling argument and exuded complete confidence in the courtroom. Her personal dedication and commitment to my case exceeded all of my expectations. Lastly, Cassandra also has a supporting cast that makes it seem like you are her only client. Hats off to Renee, Gayna and Darby who were always courteous and attentive. Collectively, you all may have very well saved my life. Thank you, Eric

I hired Ms Chin back in February 2020 to represent me in my divorce (which does not involve children/custody) but had to terminate her services 1 year later without my divorce being over. Interestingly, I hired Ms Chin based on a positive online review among other reasons. Now here I am, posting a re...view of my own. To begin with, neither my spouse nor I received the initial letter Ms Chin stated she sent to both of us to the two separate addresses informing him that she was retained by me. When I emailed 4 weeks later to find out the status of my case, I was charged for the email response attaching a “courtesy copy” of the letter that neither my spouse nor I ever received. Ms Chin finally sent my spouse a follow-up to the letter 3 months later! Later, when I reached out to my spouse about financial support. His reply was, “You might want to follow up with your lawyers since they have not done anything since you and I gave them our information. I am sure they keep charging you...”. He was correct. I had informed Ms Chin of my disappointment and dissatisfaction with how my case was being handled even before his response. Not only did Ms Chin cost me considerable time and money scheduling/postponing/cancelling hearings, I was also bombarded with costly and redundant emails which I finally had to demand that she stop sending. I was also charged a hefty sum to draft an additional financial document that was not needed, and without my consent. When I found out, because my spouse’s lawyer retaliated with same, I told Ms Chin that I did not give her permission to do this and that I did not want it done. I was not reimbursed for this charge I did not authorize. Ms Chin also failed to include a pertinent requirement I wanted included in my Pendente Lite agreement, resulting in severe financial distress and anxiety. Ms Chin also failed to send me a revised document within the two weeks as promised. When I realized that over six weeks had gone by and Ms Chin still did not send the revised document, especially since I had nothing much to show for the $8,000 I had spent so far, I felt that it was not in my best interest to continue to retain Ms Chin. This, coupled with Ms Chin’s handling of my case from the onset, resulted in my decision to terminate her service. Also, I recently found out from my spouse’s attorney that he had discussed mediation with Ms Chin. However, Ms Chin did not to mention this to me, though I am/would have been receptive to mediation.
