We decided to hire her to handle my immigration case and it was the worst decision ever made. This lawyer is so unprofessional and extremely rude. She never answers the phone. Only on rare occasions she called me back, but with very unprofessional manners. I once simply ask her for a receipt of my pa...yment for her service and she told me I didn't pay her in cash so she wouldn't have a receipt which was a big lie. I paid her cash and even offer some extra money right in her office just to rush the process and she denied it. And when USCIS sent notices about my case to her, she didn't even bother to notify or send the notices to me whatsoever. Only until I found out by checking my case status online, she then email me the notices with an unpleasant tone which caused me to respond to UCIS after the deadline. Which cause a delay for my case. This lawyer is out of hand. All she wants is your money without providing the services you're paying for. She will never get anything done. So please do not consider hiring her because you will never get anything done.

PA stated the case was too big for her to handle. Stated insurance company is a big company and the offer is too small. Questioned PA if she would like to drop the case. If we could have the case withdrawn from her. PA stated if we want to withdraw case, no problem. She will do so and hand over files.... PA or attorney did not give us notice that she will be claiming a charging lien out of any settlement proceeds we may recover. No documents were signed by us in agreement to withdrawal of case. PA without our consent or documented agreement, notified Insurance company that they no longer represent us We received a call from insurance company, advising us that they have received a letter from attorney stating they no longer represent us. Attorney did not notify or inform us that they will contact the insurance company before or after sending a withdrawal letter. We had meeting at a local public location, PA handed over copy of file and stated she has withdrawn from case. Attorney never allowed us to meet her at her office. Even when we insisted to meet at office. PA still did not inform us that a lien is on the case until we asked and read documents handed over recently. No form of notification was done. No email, no letter, no call, nothing to let us know a lien will be placed on the case. What influenced us to suggest attorney to let go of case is due to the statement PA made, that the case is too hard for her, which drew a concern for us. Also, the check issued from the first case was disburse unethically. The check was written improperly which raised an alert. It took time to have the check reissued and PA became irate, disrespectful, and blamed everything on attorney. In During this time, attorney was out of town as told by the PA. PA stated she couldn't do nothing about the check till the attorney returns and hopefully she does. PA never notified us of the arrival of the attorney as she sated she would. After discussed with PA recently at the same location, to go ahead with case, she stated she does not want to handle our case anymore and it is up the the attorney to make decision on what to do. PA called attorney over the phone. Attorney advised she will not discuss anything if she is on speaker phone. That we should all sit in the office to discuss or she will discuss with PA at a later time and get back with us later in the day. Attorney stated at the moment she cannot make any decisions now that is is currently handling a case and cannot think straight. Attorney stated she will contact us and make an appointment to meet and discuss with us to go over case. Later in the day till the end of day, attorney never reached out to us, PA never reached out to us. We reached out to attorney recently via text, and her reply was, "after discussing with her PA and what her PA had to say, she thinks its best that we find another attorney for the second case. We then asked, "does this mean you will release the lien from the case"? Attorney responded stated, "no, because you fired us a and called my PA a liar". Please I advise do not hire this lawyer for any services. She has a PA that pretend to be the lawyer. She deliberately wrote my check with scratches so I won't cash it. Then took long to reissue my check. Her PA even hung on me, spoke badly to me and attorney does not want to remove lien on my second case she dropped. They are disrespectful, greedy and do not keep to their words and what they initially say they will do.

Tôi mướn luật sư Hạnh và rất hối hận về điều này. Luật sư không những không chân thành giúp đỡ, mà cách nói chuyện với khách hàng vô cùng không chuyên nghiệp. Tôi trả tiền nhưng case của tôi vượt thời hạn, trong khi đó tôi không liên lạc được luật sư. Luật sư Hạnh không cho tối biết tin tức về trường... hợp của tôi, sau nhiều lần điện thoại được thì trở nên gắt gỏng. Những người tôi quen có mướn văn phòng này đều phàn nàn hệt như tôi và tìm người khác có khả năng hơn. Xin mọi người đừng tìm luật sư này vì cô ấy là người Việt. Người Việt không giúp nhau thì thôi,đằng này lại còn làm cho nhau thiêt thòi. Trường hợp của tôi suýt bị hủy vì tin lầm văn phòng này. Thành thật khuyên mọi người đừng tốn tiền và tốn thời gian vào nơi đây. Với tư cách là luật sư,là người hiểu biết và lấy tiền khách hàng, nhưng lại không làm được những gì hứa hẹn và còn lên tiếng với khách hàng. Tôi ở Mỹ lâu rồi mà lần đầu mới thấy một người làm trong môi trường chuyên nghiệp ứng xử như thế. Tôi rất thất vọng và bức xúc. Tôi viết những dòng này để bạn xem xét và tìm hiểu trước khi tốn tiền và thời gian vào nơi đây. Chúc may mắn.

I hired Ms. Duong for my divorce case in June 2014 with a verbal contract that she could get my case done within 3 months and I paid half the fee for her to submit all the papers. I don't know for some reason she waited until 3 months after the filled date to issue a citation for my wife instead o...f the first or two week after filed paper. That make my case delay longer. I did call her couple times to follow up my case but she never answer the phone. I lost my patience after 4 months of filing the divorce and finally I got contacted with her via Viber app. She told me to wait more and didn't know exactly when. I told her that I couldn't wait more than that and I would look for help from another lawyer. After that, I hired another lawyer to take over my case and they did very good job on my current case. However, Ms. Duong sent some papers to my current lawyers and asked for my money. She said I didn't pay her anything while I still keep the receipt of paying her. I also have the witness while we making verbal contract, she even ask for double money than the amount we set at the beginning. I can't pay more money for her cause she didn't finish my case as discussed. I will bring all evidences and witness to the court and let the judge decide it cause she put the fee in my case. I am strongly not recommend her for anybody
