Excellent Personal Injury Attorney!!!

I sustained a concussion when I was visiting a hotel and a window fell down and struck me in the head. After the injury, the insurance company gave me a really hard time. I contacted Ms. Tien to represent me. In a short while, I received a settlement check from the insurance company that I was very... happy with. Ms. Tien was professional and very effective. She made the process simple for me because I had never been involved in any accidents. If it was't for Ms. Tien, I do not think I would have received any compensation for my injury, medical bills and loss wages. I am a very pleased client and I highly recommend Tien Law Firm!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
