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.

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.

Excellent Lawyer for Family Law

I hired Cynthia for my child custody and support case. She was amazing. The case was filled with a lot of false accusations from the opposing party. It seemed like everyone who was involved in the case was against me and my kids, but Cynthia was our savior! She was so detail oriented and dedicated. T...hrough out the whole process she kept what was in the best interest of me and my kids in the forefront of her mind. I was not afraid of facing the judge or the other lawyer because I trusted Cynthia to defend me and she did! She was able to uncover the truth and present it to our judge to get a favorable outcome for both custody and support. After the trial was over of course I was relieved, but also sad that I wouldn't be in contact with Cynthia anymore because she was so much more than just a lawyer - it felt like she had become a friend, like part of the family. I hope I don't have to go back to court again, but if I do I will 100 percent ask Cynthia to represent me. I feel like there is nothing that she can't conquer or defend against. My wife and I absolutely love her and will recommend her to anyone!

Helped master a peaceful resolution to a family in need

Our situation was all too familiar in this era. A daughter in an abusive relationship and a toddler granddaughter living in a dangerous home. With the help of Mrs Chaing and a dedicated social worker we were able to gain custody of our granddaughter and provide her a safe stable home. Mrs Chaings kno...wledge of law, and compassion for the innocent child, provided the crucial link that we needed to bring our granddaughter out of danger and into a loving nurturing home. My daughter has, for several years now, moved beyond the bad relationship and has since been supportive of our custody. Our granddaughter is now 10 years old and has blossomed into an outgoing, intelligent and well rounded happy child. Her mother is now heavily involved in her life and is now in a long term wonderful relationship herself. We are a happy family and it would not have been possible without the compassion, expertise and guidance of Mrs Chaing. We hold her in the highest regard and owe her a debt of gratitude. We know now that we will eventually relinquish custody back to her mother and have no issues that will prevent it. Mrs Chaing helped us through the darkest time in our family life and I would recommend her to anyone that wants the best outcome for a child in a difficult situation. Not only is she a great family law attorney but she is also a great person to know. On a scale of 1 to 10 we would rate her at 14.
