Posted by Ed | July 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Great attorney. Definitely recommend.

Custody battles can be very difficult situations for all parties involved and especially for the children. Today I received full custody of my daughter thanks to Ms. Nguyen and couldn’t be happier about it. She worked tirelessly on our case to secure the results we wanted especially since my daughter...s mother was hard to locate and would move frequently. Ms. Nguyen kept me updated throughout the whole procedure and when she needed any information or something had changed she notified me very quickly. She was very well prepared when we appeared in front of the judge today, basically guided me step by step asking key questions and presenting important information pertinent to the case that got the judge to rule in our favor. Overall she made the whole process effortless and very easy for me to follow. I will happily continue to work with her in the future and highly recommend her services.

Divorced Mother

Vy gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to get through my divorce, while providing me endless support and informing me on my legal rights. With her help and guidance I was able to defend properly and peacefully what was right for my three small children and myself in the midst of adversity. ...She has a genuine care for my family and all her clients. Her attention to detail and swift thinking was ideal for my case and her support was one of a kind. We will always be grateful for her unwavering protection and defense.

Family Law

My son informed me one day that his father was verbally, mentally, and physically abusing him. He had been keeping this a secret from me until one day he couldn’t take it anymore. I went through a wide range of emotions and realized I needed to calm myself and find an attorney. By the grace of God I... found Vy Nguyen. She took the time to explain in great detail everything about my case that she could. She made sure I understood that she would do everything within the limits of the law that she could do to help my son and I. Throughout all of it she was my rock. She got me through the process of modification of visitation, mediation, and eventually relinquishment of parental rights. I will forever be greatful. The best thing I ever did was take her advice. I had to listen to it because it was what was best for my son and I.

Wonderful attorney

Vy- Thank you for being such a wonderful person and compassionate attorney. Since the first time we spoke, you worked so hard to get everything finalized for me. You were always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. The only thing I regret is not finding you at the start of... this case. You can tell you genuinely care for all your clients! Very thankful for you and how you made sure everything got handled! You're amazing!!!!! Thank you again for your hard work!

Family Law / Custody & Childsupport

I don't know where to begin with my recommendation for Vy. She is smart, humble, strong and more importantly she cares. She delivered all of her promises to me, times 100. It's not easy using the law to blend families and find common ground amongst enemies but she did an AMAZING job. I got ev...erything I could've dreamed of and more. Not with fighting and manipulation but with kindness & love. Vy guided me through mediation with a focus on what's best for my children. Keeping them as my focus, allowing Vy to use the law & power of love for the betterment of the children... WE WON!!! If you don't need her, tell someone who does. If more families loved, society would be a better place. It's starts at home. Thank you Vy!
