No good

I only had a phone interview with this company, maybe it was Chan himself, but that was horrible enough. I was extorted by a tree-cutting company (Arbor elite by Bill Gallaher) with which I approved a labor quote and later threatened me with lien on my house when I tried to cancel their service, whic...h was a lie. I yielded, let them work and paid their service. Chan didn’t think for second this company did anything wrong as I accepted their deal. Chan instead blamed me for yielding, even claiming most people wouldn’t have yielded to a legal threat against your property. Chan obviously thinks we all are familiar with the law and scams, however he also understood that I questioned his legal expertise when I pressed about the issue that I was threated and lied to, which is (or should be) clearly wrong. These actions must be addressed somewhere in the laws…. I just need to be millionaire so I can access a good lawyer. He offered to set a meeting to learn more, but it sure looked like a waste of money ($50 or more) and time: time off from work to meet him, commuting time and meeting itself in the face of screaming red flags. Horrible deal. If this was just a short phone call, I don’t want to imagine what it would be to actually work with him, these processes normally take a while.

Excellent attorney

Chan Ahn advised me on an employment matter with a very professional and extremely helpful manner. He took the time to explain the law and exceptions to the law. I received a wealth of information and advice that provided me with an effective strategy in approaching the situation with the tools nee...ded to present my concerns to my employer successfully. I highly recommend Mr. Ahn. Thank you.

Great overall experience and results

Assertive and knowledgeable representation. I was very happy that I decided to do business with Attorney Ahn and his practice. The communication during the process was phenomenal, as were the results. He kept me informed regularly and educated me throughout. Highly recommend!

Very Detailed and Thorough

I consulted with Chan about me paying for a car warranty and not actually receiving the warranty, thus leaving me with the cost of repairs. I knew from the initial conversation that he had my best interest at hand. He explained everything in laymen's terms and was careful not to patronize me. He prov...ides you with the pros and cons, upfront, so there are no surprises. He is also clear about costs and which way may work better for your specific case. I immediately hired him. He is a hands-on lawyer and answered a lot of my questions where he could have easily allowed the paralegal to answer them. He's very detailed and thorough in everything he does. I called and emailed a lot and not once did I feel pushed off or like another random client. If you want someone that's available, detailed, and thorough, try Chan. I was able to get representation, professionalism, return calls, emails, etc. at a reasonable cost. Lawyers like Chan are sure to get both repeat and new clientele. I won my case, I think, simply off of how detailed he is. 5 Stars for Chan!

The case of the two Real Estate sales contracts on the same property.

Chan had the opportunity to help both me and my realtor in the course of this case and he was very professional. Both me and my realtor were very please with his performance. He was very courteous and fair as well as very thorough in handling our case. If we had the opportunity of doing it all over a...gain, we would chose Chan as our attorney to handle our case. I would like to thank Chan for all his diligence and hard work.

  • 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.
