The BEST Auto Attorney in AZ

Mr. Choi is a very intelligent, professional and super knowledgeable individual who knows how to get the job done. I'm very pleased with the results Mr. Choi and his team achieved in my case. I highly recommend Mr. Choi for anyone who is looking for a great attorney. I would like to THANK his ...paralegal team especially Daniel for answering my questions every time I emailed him; very quick in response. By the way Mr. Choi was featured at ABC 15 "Let joe Know" volunteering his time and helping consumers with his knowledge and legal advice. I wish I was able to give Mr. Choi Thousands of Stars !!!

Highly recommend!

Mr. Choi was amazing! He helped my wife and I with a lemon case in AZ. We would have never been able to do it alone, and we were so happy that Hyung was able to help us throughout the whole thing and take care of us. He helped us navigate all the legalities, and he always knew what to do and how to p...roceed. He was always on top of everything! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his services!

Mr. Choi and his paralegal Daniel were amazing throughout this entire process. They were super informative and navigated me through a difficult process. A plus communication, follow through, and results from their office. I would recommend their services to anyone

He’s fabulous!

Mr. Choi provided legal representation for me against a local car dealership in the Phoenix Valley in 2010. After months of back-and-forth in what seemed like fighting City Hall, and while in a state of complete distress, frustration, and desperation, I turned to another lawyer who ultimately pointe...d me in Mr. Choi’s direction. Within a matter of weeks, he was able to discover evidence of wrongdoing by the dealership, and a few months later we settled out of court after he put an immense amount of pressure on the dealership’s legal team. I was able to acquire the vehicle that I wanted all along—with monthly payments that were reduced significantly—and the dealership had to ultimately pay for all of my expenses which finally gave me some peace of mind. Mr. Choi also provided legal support to my father after he was injured in an automobile accident while visiting Arizona. The outcome of that case was also a positive one, and it further demonstrated to me Mr. Choi’s abilities as such a diverse and savvy litigator. However, the most important aspect of my relationship with Mr. Choi’s is the recognition that he’s such a caring, compassionate, and wonderful human being. Although I no longer live in The Valley at this point in time, he and I have remained in contact to this day. He always gives me sound advice of all kinds whenever it’s asked of him. He will do whatever it takes to provide fair legal representation for you, and it’s very reassuring knowing that he is always on your side. I give my full endorsement to Hyung Choi, as I truly believe he is one of the best litigators in the Phoenix area!

Compassionate and Supportive

I had to contact Mr. Choi after purchasing a car in Scottsdale. There were issues with the extended warranty (the dealership charged me for one but they never paid for it). I had no idea how to proceed, as the dealership was not willing to honor our contract. I do not live in Arizona and was fortunat...e enough to contact Mr. Choi regarding this issue. He was very kind and supportive and listened to what I was going through- I finally felt like I had some help. Mr. Choi was able to settle this in an effective and diligent manner. Everyone at his practice was kind and supportive and I cannot say enough for everything they did. I appreciate all of their hard work, support and as I live out of state, communication. I could have never gotten the dealership to honor the contract that I paid for on my own and I am so thankful that I was able to have an advocate like Mr. Choi on my side.
