An Absolutely Outstanding Attorney!

I was involved in a very contentious divorce. Thankfully a friend recommended I call Nichols Zauzig. Ms. Casandra Chin represented me and I could not be happier with her counsel. Cassie, and her outstanding staff, were extremely insightful, professional and patient. They provided guidance on de...tails I would have never thought of and very helpful advice in the gathering of the materials necessary for the best outcome. Through their outstanding work, I was able to attain a settlement agreement far more favorable than I ever expected which also avoided the time and additional expense of a trial. Thank you, Ms. Chin and the excellent staff of Nichols Zauzig.

Smart, Organized and Effective Lawyer - Highly Recommend!

I was seeking a new lawyer since the previous one I had been working with had retired. I decided to retain Cassandra Chin at Nichols Zauzig Sandler because she was direct, concise and straightforward. I believed she would do her best to support me legally after my initial consultation with her. ...She represented me well on numerous cases over the past few years and isn't into putting on a good "show" for her client but rather works to get results. Cassandra was informative, concise and effective in guiding me to what available options there were to me on my case. She also provided guidance when potential options were not going to have a high chance of success as well as took the time to support my schedule and to be flexible in meetings that were important to my case. I highly recommend her as both an ethical lawyer and a respectable professional for anyone in need of a good lawyer. Having worked with 4 different lawyers prior to being referred to Nichols Zauzig Sandler I can say that there are definitely some BAD lawyers out there. You will not find a bad one at NZS. I only wish I had found them earlier as I'm confident that my case would have resolved itself sooner and more efficiently

Superb Professionalism and Communication

My mother hired Ms. Chin after spending almost a year with another lawyer who was unresponsive and dragging his feet every step of the way. Ms. Chin was able to get a resolution for my mother in less than six months - enabling my 72-year-old mother to get on with her life. I helped my mother throug...hout this entire process and definitely would recommend Ms. Chin. Her communication with us was extraordinary. Her professionalism and personal demeanor helped put my mother at ease. She did everything in a timely fashion and never left us guessing what would happen next. My mother's situation was a very complicated one, and Ms. Chin helped us navigate through tough times. We had to handle much of this over the phone as my mother lives more than 2 hours away from Ms. Chin's office; however, that went very smoothly and we were made to feel like we were right there with her. Her assistant, Renee Rogers, was extremely professional, courteous, and responsive to our needs. Both Ms. Chin and Ms. Rogers were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them both.

Superb counsel!

Cassandra came to me highly recommended. She was the consummate professional and provided pragmatic counsel throughout our engagement. She did a great job at every critical juncture of ensuring I separated emotion from fact and always did an excellent job of helping me understand legal complexitie...s through lay terms. When Cassandra is in action there is no question who she is representing. She's fair, balanced, trustworthy and when she says she's going to do something you can count on her to do so. Cassandra and her professional reputation is held in very high regard in the legal community and state in which she practices. She an active member of the Virginia Bar and gives of her time in many ways to the community and Association. I would recommend Cassandra's legal services to anyone in need of great counsel, in or outside the courtroom.

Highly recommend

During my evaluation process of lawyers, I found that other lawyers spoke very highly of Cassandra Chin. This respect amongst peers was well deserved duing my personal experience being repressented by Mrs. Chin. She demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and provided me excellent adv...ise and counsel to keep me level-headed during difficult and emotionally charged times. Throughout the entire time working together, I felt Cassandra Chin looked after my long-term best interest, often suggesting the pragmatic option that would save money and deliver the best result. When facing other lawyers, Mrs. Chin was articulate, knowledgeable, purpose driven and empathetic. I regularly recommend Cassandra Chin to all of my friends. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic lawyer, the kind to have in your corner.
