Stephen K Chen

After consulting with a handful of lawyers, it became clear to me that Stephen was the best representation for me. He focused only on how the best possible outcome could be achieved and without a doubt he was the key person in bring truth into the light at the hearings. He protected my parental right...s and prevented a series of false allegations from adding injury to an already incredibly difficult part of my life. He represented me a second time after my ex just couldn't bare not obtaining any of her unreasonable demands and filed for a modification of custody orders. Once again, Stephen insured that my parental rights remained intact. The two different law firms from the opposite party were no match to Stephen's effective, truthful and honest approach to practicing law. I would recommend Stephen Chen to any of my family or friends without reservations.

I had the privilege of having Stephen as my counsel during my divorce and custody proceedings. Stephen was compassionate and professional from the very beginning. He was friendly and gracious, knowledgeable and experienced, and a superb communicator. I could tell from the first consultation that h...e genuinely cared about me and my kids, and clearly set the agenda for future proceedings, which provided hope, and helped rein in the overwhelming fear and confusion during this difficult time. Unlike some other attorneys who had insisted on going to trial and ready to fight without knowing my story and understanding my priorities, Stephen was always looking for creative solutions that would allow me and my ex to have a fair and satisfactory agreement yet maintain dignity and respect for each other. This foresight has bore fruit as I am able to have a great co-parenting relationship with my ex. Having said this, Stephen has my total trust had we had the need to go to trial. In fact, it might have been due to Stephen’s impartial and articulate dissection of our case that persuaded my ex to pursue a friendly settlement. Stephen always had the big picture and long-range perspective in view. This was particularly assuring when at times when I was overwhelmed by pressure and threats. Stephen provided the empathetic yet sensible legal advice and “pep-talks” to get me back to my sound mind. I hope you do not have to go through the pain and suffering of a broken family, but if you are, don’t go through it alone. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephen Chen to be your advocate.

After a messy divorce, going through a child custody battle is both stressful and heartbreaking. I never imagined myself nor my child will be in this kind of situation. When I first met Atty. Chen for the initial consultation, I already felt the warmth and his passion for his craft. He was accomm...odating and he willingly answered all my questions and concerns. From then on, I already knew that he was the perfect guy to represent me and handle my case. He was incredible and well-informed about the technicalities. One very important quality I liked about him was that he was very meticulous. Every demand and request of the other party was denied because he was able to see details and errors on forms the other party submitted in court. During discussions, he guides, asks me what I want to achieve and gives me logical advice but leaves the decision making to me. He would give suggestions and pointers on how to approach each matter without me putting out more money. I also liked how he would always point out what is in the best interest of the minor child. With Atty. Chen's help and dedication I was able to avoid unnecessary court hearings and most importantly win this battle. Even after the case is over, he would contact me to check on things and make sure things are doing well for us. I would highly recommend getting his sevices just in case you are in the same situation because with Atty. Stephen Chen, you know someone got your back.

Divorce is no doubt one of the most difficult and trying times in one's life. Besides the emotional rollercoaster you inevitably are forced on, you also have to deal with finances, custody, and often times erratic, emotional behavior on both sides of the family. Its a tough chapter in life for anyone.... Stephen Chen was amazing! he is super calm, very compassionate and sympathetic, extremely smart and experienced. He is tireless, always accessible (even on his busiest of days in court), and very thorough in fighting for you, your assets and your children. In a tough time, Stephen Chen is exactly what you need. I highly recommend him!

My divorce began as a relatively simple divorce case, but my exwife decided to make it extremely difficult. Her actions extended the court proceedings, made false accusations and threatened to have my daughter all but removed from my life. I'm incredibly grateful for Stephen, who reassured me thr...ough the entire process. His dedication to my case was never wavering and his knowledge about my case ensured that the truth would eventually come to light. In short, with his help, we obtained nearly all that I had asked for, while my exwife and her counsel, were exposed for exaggerating the facts of the case. I could not imagine going through what I did, with the results I got, without his professionalism and due diligence. Of course these matters cost a considerable amount of money. However in the long run, Stephen saved me more money, spared me the stress of going it alone and gave me peace of mind in an otherwise chaotic time of my life. Thank you Stephen!
