This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best of the best AWESOME lawyer!

My first day meeting with Atty Sung Lee. I felt his sincerity and honesty about my case. That day I hired him... and that was the best decision I made. From the beginning to the end HE and his staff was there for me. Step by step and guide me, thru all the way of my divorce. Sung is my HERO. He did a...ll his best to get what I deserved. but most of all have a good heart. He is honest, professional and very down to earth person. Very smart guy! Saying thank you is not enough but from the bottom of my heart you are the BEST AWESOME LAWYER in the world. Thank you in a million times..Atty Sung LEE!!!

Listens and got the job done !

Sung is AWESOME ! After a brief consultation, and preparation for my case one week prior to our hearing, Sung understood the issues, and clearly articulated his opening at the hearing minimizing the need for drawn out testimony. He kept the issues on point and the final outcome went our way. I will... say the key to winning is having an attorney that takes some time to understand the issues the opposing side will bring up. Sung was prepared having spoken with the opposing representation in detail prior to the hearing. Sung was a real team player, acknowledged my concerns during the hearing (lots of nudging and dialogue between us and quick responses on his part) and he addressed the concerns appropriately. With any attorney I also think you should also be prepared with your own documents at the hearing to ensure success.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I highly recommend Mr. Lee as an attorney. We worked opposing sides in a divorce matter involving both custody and child support. His work was thorough and he responded quickly to all communications. He did not "run up the bill" on his client simply to earn more money. He both effectively and efficiently represented his client."
