Most knowledgeable and effective lawyer

I highly recommend Chaing/Anders Law Firm for anyone dealing with complex family law issues, especially a difficult custody battle. From the moment I first contacted them, they provided me with unwavering support, expert guidance, and the kind of professionalism that made me feel confident in their a...bility to handle my case. What really stood out to me was their deep understanding of the emotional and legal complexities that come with custody disputes. They didn’t just treat me as another case; they took the time to truly understand the nuances of my situation and were incredibly empathetic throughout the entire process. They helped me navigate through some of the toughest moments with grace and assured me every step of the way that they were working in my best interest. The team at Chaing/Anders was always responsive, whether it was answering my questions, providing updates, or addressing concerns. I was particularly impressed with how well they communicated, ensuring I was always in the loop. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they were able to strategize effectively to present the best possible case. During my case an unexpected matter accured that could have taken the child from us permanently but due to the Cynthia Chaing's knowledge and fast actions the matter was dismissed. Thanks to Cynthia Chaing, Tammy Womack, and all the other brilliant, amazing ladies that put in all the hard work and dedication, I’m now in a far better position with my custody arrangements. I truly believe that without their expertise, things might not have turned out as positively as they did. If you are looking for compassionate yet aggressive representation in a custody battle, I highly recommend Chaing/Anders Law Firm. Their skill, professionalism, and commitment to their clients are unmatched. We are beyond Blessed!

Amazing and Compassionate

I hired Cynthia Chaing for a custody case. Cynthia was professional, knowledgeable, caring, and kind. She was also fierce when she needed to be. Any question, concerns or inquiries I had were addressed right away. Talking with Cynthia about my case seemed like conversing with a friend, which helped ...relieve a lot of stress for me. Tammy Womack was amazing as well. Tammy was very helpful and responsive during all communications. Their ability to accommodate me living in another state was incredible. This team of power house women are highly recommended.

No need to look any further for a great attorney

Watching my daughters family fall apart is like an emotional roller coaster that feels literally like your heart is being ripped out of your chest. I went with my daughter to meet with Cynthia Chaing. We were in the middle of the pandemic and that added an extra layer of difficulty to this process bu...t Cynthia was so calm and welcoming. She explained everything in detail and she wants to empower her clients to be part of the process of making decisions. Little did we know that Cynthia would become our “rock” for which my daughter and I could land and get reassurance, support, and help if needed. We felt very secure that Cynthia knew what to do to protect my daughter and grandchildren! The day of the court hearing Cynthia negotiated with opposing counsel and a successful outcome was achieved for my daughter and grandchildren! If, you’re looking for an attorney, look no further than right here! You will be treated with kindness, dignity and respect throughout the process and in turn you will be with someone who is dedicated focused driven and has an incredible work ethic! Thank you Cynthia for all you have done for my daughter and grandchildren I am truly grateful!

Skilled Expert in Family Law

Cynthia is an excellent attorney that is well respected, personable, extremely intelligent, and has an impeccable understanding of family law. She has represented me for several years with a series of complex family law matters including a protective order, divorce, custody, and visitation. I came to... Cynthia distraught and needing representation in a very short time frame. I was previously represented by a separate established law firm but with inadequate results. Cynthia was booked out for nearly a month but both she and her staff were compassionate as I pleaded for a consult. She provided a consult within days and even though her schedule was booked she agreed to take my case with less than two weeks of my initial court date. My situation was complex and when another well respected attorney declined my case due to fears for their safety, Cynthia did not back down. Instead, she listened, gathered facts, and assessed my situation. This is one trait, of many, that I love about her. She is fierce both in and out of the court room, representing her clients armed with tenacity and case law. She is straight forward and does not fluff possible outcomes but instead diligently prepares you for what may lie ahead. Each time we have stepped in court (and there have been many) we’ve had success. The moment she stepped into the lives of my children and I, our quality of life significantly improved. We have been safe and incredibly happy and for this I am forever grateful. Because she’s represented me for so long, I can assure you she represents both her female and male clients equally advocating for their rights and their children’s well being. She’s an experienced GAL and even dedicates time to help disadvantaged persons needing family law assistance. I share this because in my opinion, this speaks multitudes about her as a person as well as her skillset which undoubtedly is formed by her ability to see cases from a wide range of aspects. There is no other attorney I would have preferred to represent me. Her paralegal, Tammy, is as diligent and has excellent communication skills and attention to detail. In sum, Cynthia Chaing is an excellent attorney that you can confidently walk alongside in a courtroom knowing she will deliver and do so both fiercely and eloquently. My advice for anyone reading this, be prepared and organized so Cynthia can focus on representing you. And if it requires saving or shifting money to pay a retainer, what else is a more important investment than your children?

Polished, gracious and kind with a firm principled core

Attorney Chaing was an invaluable guide and advocate navigating the painful, complicated process of divorce. My former spouse and I entered the process amicably, unified in our goals of a respectful process and a fair outcome. He and I did not always agree on "fair", of course, and she was adept at n...egotiating in my favor when indicated. At other times, Attorney Chaing was prepared to press more aggressively for terms I was willing to concede. She ensured I was educated on the law and customs and respected my wishes. Professional, simultaneously approachable and firm, she navigated a fine line with grace to craft a mutually satisfactory agreement. More than two years later, my former spouse and I not only remain satisfied both with the process and with the outcome, we also remain excellent parenting partners and friends.
