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. .

Best family law attorney hands down

Mrs. Nguyen Is awesome at what she does. I struggled with another for almost 12 years trying to get my daughter, I hired her and literally within less than a year I had her. I live out of state and with my last attorney I had to travel back and forth for all kinds of things in court and Mrs Nguyen di...d everything for me with me having to travel. I highly recommend her for sure.

Strong Representation

In my time of need Ms. Nguyen has helped when no others would. She is a champion for fathers rights, and even when I have become discouraged and frustrated she has always been there to guide me through this. Not knowing the ups and downs of the legal system she has always assured me that the law is... for the best interest of the child and the truth will prevail. I would respectfully refer the law offices of V Nguyen and Associates to anyone that may be in my position.

Amazing!

I would like to thank attorney Vy and her staff in handling my case. She was very polite and professional. She treated my concern with the upmost importance and listened attentively as I poured my heart out. She took the time to explain to me page by page about documents during our first meeting an...d answer all of my concerns about those documents. She responded on every email and text that I had questions and concerns and I got answers promptly. She reassured me throughout the process. I inadvertently called her while she was on vacation and she took my call and still discussed my concerns. The hearing went smoothly and there was no hiccups along the way. I'm grateful for Attorney Vy being in my corner. I pray she comes to the central Texas area more often, we need more attorneys like her. Thank you once again on doing a great job. Not only did I have an amazing attorney but I felt like I made a new friend in the process. I would highly recommend Attorney Vy she was delightful to work with and I know that I have an attorney for life.
