Stephen K Chen

STEPHEN CHEN was a God send in my divorce case matters. First off, he and his associate Nora will so gentle, clear, and thorough explaining the process of how it all works, what to expect, what it will cost, and if they thought they can make a difference in my case. After interviewing 3 offices, it w...as clear I was going with Stephen. Stephen is a husband and a father, and he really gave me great advice on how to approach my case, rooting in integrity and fairness. He wasn't pushing me to do what's best for me, but what was best for my family. And that showed me he really cares about humanity. He's not a yes man, but a great man! My case went as smooth as a baby's but. I only ended up paying $150 more than the original retainer you projected based on what my case would entail, which was so honorable, as many would be afraid of more bills stacking up. My case reached a settlement within 2 months, and the court approved it within 24 hours. It was honestly record time with no bumps or bruises. I can't thank Stephen enough, and I will consider him a friend for life now. I would hire him in a second again, but hopefully I won't have to to through another divorce. :). Lots of love

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!

Stephen is an exceptional and compassionate attorney. He guided me through many nuances and details of a complex divorce. He is innovative and a strong advocate for his client. He is also affordable, which is very important. His billing practices are fair and reasonable - he does not waste time or cr...eate any unnecessary work. Highly recommended.

I hired Stephen to put together a “fair and reasonable” settlement. Not the usual "win" mentality. He did an excellent job. He presented opportunities and approaches, including ones that could possibly net more but held true to my philosophy. Additionally, he was amazingly professional. His timelines...s was excellent. Conversations were always meaningful and concise. A real benefit in an hourly rate situation. He is passionate about his work and was empathetic about my situation. He was always aware of even the smallest details of the case. I never felt I was just another client. I felt like I had a friend helping me through the process. He’s everything you could want in an attorney. I highly recommend Stephen for family law.

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!!
