Expert, Professional, and Supportive!

We were blown away by the expertise, professionalism, and overall support from Cynthia Chaing! We spoke with 4 different attorneys, retained 2 of the 4, before being referred to Cynthia. From the very first conversation we were already more informed on the road ahead then all of the previous attorney...s combined. Cynthia is extremely sharp and can pivot under pressure with unusual grace, which was needed in our cases. Overall, both of our matters were resolved and we were well prepared for unexpected scenarios that arose. We highly recommend Cynthia and the entire team at Shupert Chaing!

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.

Agressive with a smile :)

I hired Ms. Chaing for what I thought was a SIMPLE custody case. This was a hard decision as I wanted to navigate the court system on my own. I made the right decision, why chance the most important thing in your lifetime?! You are already up every night stressed, why not have someone in your corn...er! The case took 8 months due to the multiple hearings and even though it felt like an eternity, it was pushed along quicker due to Ms. Chaing. I did get the outcome that was in the best interest of my son. Custody claims are not easy to navigate, can change quickly and the guardians are too busy to really dig into the details of the cases. I strongly recommend Ms. Chaing, she is responsive, easy to work with, will explain all scenarios and give you a realistic picture of how the case will go. Just provide her with your support and she does the rest!

She’s the best!

Cynthia is great! I was referred to her by another client after my separation. I was nervous at first because I’ve never needed a lawyer before. After I sat with her for a consultation i knew she was the right person. So I hired her for child custody and visitation. She is very caring and very knowle...dgeable. She helped me every step of the way and made sure I understood everything before going in to court. She talked me though what to expect during mediation and I felt very prepared walking in. Needless to say she won my case and if I ever needed representation again I would definitely go back to her.

Child custody

After my third lawyer I was told my case was a lost cause no matter what. Cynthia changed all that. She was very brutally honest with me while at the same time answering all , yes ALL of my questions no matter how silly they seemed. I followed her advice and right up to the last minute I was still s...cared to death however she has succeeded in getting my ball rolling and visitation with my children! Something after three years I was seriously thinking wasn't going to happen. She is very professional and friendly and very knowledgeable in her field of expertise. As I was extremely nervous there was a decision that needed to be made and she asked me to just "hold off" and trust her, it worked and I am so glad I put my trust in this firm and Cynthia Chaing! Highly recommended!
