Stephen K Chen

Stephen Chen and his services are impeccable! When it comes to family law, there are often a lot of uncertainties, fear, and trauma surrounding the thing most precious to us all...Our children! Stephen is an extremely skilled and thorough attorney, who somehow has also maintained the ability to encom...pass empathy for the requirement to even need his services. Which alone is a foreign and lost skill with MOST high-priced attorneys! They always tend to make you feel like they're doing you a favor, even though you may be paying exasperated costs for their services! But not with Stephen! Stephen assisted my family with recovering our abducted child who had been whisked to another State; a state unwilling to consider the already sole legal and physical custody orders previously obtained in California, many years prior to the abduction. Stephen did not leave my family's side until all required legal formalities were met, and our loved one was returned. How can you put a value or determine the cost on the safe return of your abducted child? You can't! But Stephen's costs and expenses, and itemized explanation of costs, only relieved an already traumatic situation! He's just the BEST! Professional, Thorough, Communicative, Comparably Priced, Great Follow Up and Follow Through...And absolutely the attorney YOU NEED to help you with your difficult situation! Don't believe me...Just schedule your consultation and thank me later!

I can't say enough how grateful I am to have found Stephen to guide me in such a challenging divorce, especially with kids involved and having a difficult time to communicate and reach an agreement with my ex. He is a strategist, extremely professional and knowledgable of the Law. At the same time he... is sensible and attentive to his clients. We were finally able to settle our case after more than a year in the process, avoiding litigation which would be terribly stressful for the kids and saving a lot of money, time and stress. Stephen is the best!

10 STARS!!! Beyond thankful for Stephen Chen's wisdom/advise in Family Law, compassion towards his clients needs, his communication (email, text, phone), execution and always available in a moments notice. Stephen's dedication TRULY sets him apart in Family Law. He's knowledgable, a straight shooter ...and an attorney who listened to our every concern. He was also prepared with questions and always kept our meetings on track without wasting our time (which could cost more money). Prior to Stephen, we had a nightmare of an experience with another attorney and that costed our DVRO case (including crucial evidence i.e: pics, text, videos that was dismissed with the DVRO). It was such an injustice and devastation to our family. However, before custody issues (case) began, Stephen was able to see the truth behind our jurisdictional concerns and shed light over a scenario that was going south very quick. No other attorney was able to understand the UCCJEA and explain it like him. As a result, he redeemed our family with facts and the judge was able to see through the slander from opposing party and counsel. The judge relinquished jurisdiction in CA, turned the case over to its rightful owner & closed the case all together. Stephen Chen's work ethic, knowledge and quick thinking gives you the confidence that he's been in the field for decades. He researches and questions everything, we never had to doubt or worry that he was fighting on our behalf, in & outside of court. To give you a lil context, the complexity and trajectory of our case after the DVRO case needed nothing short of a miracle. We decided to call Stephen one last time (he was on paternity leave when we initially called him) he took on our case in a moment's notice and accomplished SOO much more in a 30 minute meeting than the previous attorney accomplished in the few months prior. Stephen's conviction opened doors that were closed according to everyone else. As a result, he opened the eyes of all the attorneys and judges involved -- Justice was SERVED! Stephen Chen's Assistant Valerie also privided us Excellent customer service. It's no wonder his firm keeps rising to the top. He will always be the first Family Law attorney we will call on and/or highly reccommend for legal advice. Thank YOU so much again Stephen Chen and Team, you were used mightily and truly the answer to our family's prayers!!

I HIGHLY recommend Stephen Chen to be your attorney. If I ever need a California attorney or if someone needs one this is the only person I would call. I was fighting for jurisdiction in Idaho and the previous attorney I had messed up my case. She dug us in a huge hole and did absolutely nothing f...or my case. I had to submit paperwork to the judge the next day and previous attorney didn’t start on it. We asked Stephen Chen if he could take on the case and he saved my case! I finally got jurisdiction over my daughter in Idaho. I don’t know what I would do without Stephen Chen’s help. He sincerely cares about his clients and super passionate about his job. He never leaves you stranded, always returns your calls and emails. Definitely the only person I would recommend as family law attorney. Thank you again Stephen Chen.

It was a pleasure to have Stephen Chen as my lawyer. I was blessed to have found him on yelp. I read all of the great reviews he had so I figured i'd give him a shot and see if he would help me with my custody case. Let me just say that Stephen is very caring and very attentive. He is a lawyer tha...t cares about his clients and will fight for what is right. I felt very comfortable with him. He is very knowledgeable and will explain things to you in detail. He is very professional and very highly respected. I'm happy to say that my case went very smooth and and got my case dismissed. For anyone that needs a family law lawyer Mr. Stephen Chen is the one to call. Once again Stephen Chen Thank You for everything.
