These Ladies ROCK

Today these Ladies worked with my nephew on a child support & visitation case. Not only did they represent him well but Assistant Attorney Jasmine worked with my nephew before, during, and after the case to ensure that he was prepared. Because I live in another state, Attorney Vy Nguyen ensured that ...I and my nephew were well educated in family law so that we understood the process and what would take place, and how best to prepare. Special thanks to Meghan for her support in the details. We are thrilled that everything was handled expediently and the best possible outcome for all was attained. Hire Nguyen Law Offices - you will be pleased that you did!

Terrible follow-through and lack of communication

Vy promised the world on the initial consultation and then lacked any type of follow-through after I hired her. She was very uninvolved in my case. I had to email and call multiple times and almost never got a response. She finally quit responding and kept my retainer.

Very cold/Noncompassionate/unresolved/ lack of communication

I feel like she was more worried about payment. I paid the retainer fee of $1500 to file for sole custody and get my abusive ex served because he took our daughter from daycare on a Monday, she filed a EPO to get her back on Saturday. He got arrested at our next court date. They ordered a paternity ...test even though there was a AOP already signed. It got reset after that. Nothing ever got resolved, my rights nor my child support. While he was in Harris county jail, i had to keep missing work being reset multiple times. And apparently she knew this is why it kept getting reset and never informed me. She would not help my case any further until i paid another $1500 sending me an invoice and then denying she sent it after I had a copy of her email . He was in Harris county jail when I first posted this review . He has been out since February our court date got reset due to COVID nothing still hasn’t been done for a year after initial review court got reset 2 more times and she didn’t represent me another person did. Update: it is now October of 2020, the last my ex admitted to making a false accusation to CPS and I tried fighting it but my lawyers assistant just told me to cooperate which I did. No communication since first time she was notified CPS came to my door. Still no update on my case , I don’t know if it has been reset and I’m still trying to get sole custody of our daughter. Lack of communication and nothing has been resolved and it was a pretty simple case. It’s been almost 3 years.

Laura, The reset was not our fault. The court reset due to him being in jail. He was in jail mostly during this case. I was the attorney who handled that matter to have him placed in jail, along with getting the TRO to get your daughter back, and was present at the bond hearing with you. My office and I spoke with you last week after CPS called again and stated that you were still avoiding their calls, had not taken a drug test, and refused to allow them to conduct a home visit. You were advised once again to submit to drug testing and allow the caseworker to inspect the home, because CPS was threatening to file an emergency suit due to your non-compliance. I advised that you should cooperate with CPS based on the case that he is trying to make against you until it is closed. You have been avoiding their phone calls and home visits. We have the texts and calls from CPS that they were looking for you as well as texts from you last week regarding their attempts to contact you. It doesn’t make you look better avoiding them. You avoiding them was not advised by me. It is unfortunate that you chose to leave a negative review with false information. .

Vy and Meghan Are the Best

I hired Vy's office to take over my custody case with my two boys. My first attorney just wasn't getting anything done. From the very first meeting, I felt at ease knowing that Vy was handling my case. Her paralegal, Meghan, always answered every call or text, even on weekends. I was kept in the loop... for every step of the process, even when my ex changed attorneys several times in an attempt to stall the case. Vy and Meghan kept pushing for a resolution. I won custody of my 1 year old and 7 year old sons and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Vy and Meghan!!

Honest Lawyer, fair prices

After searching online for divorce lawyers and calling many, Vy was the only one picked up the phone her self. I explained my case and she gave me a reasonable price and a very good time frame for my divorce to be finished. My ex wife filled in Texas and I live in Virginia. I couldn’t go to Texas to ...deal with the case. Vy took care of everything for me, our communication was via phone calls, emails and text. Everything went very smooth. I highly recommend Vy as your lawyer.
