Stephen K Chen

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!

Divorce is not easy but hiring Stephen Chen was the best decision I made. He listened carefully to what I wanted and effectively obtained a favorable outcome for my case. No detail was overlooked in my divorce settlement and Stephen ensured my interests were protected. Stephen addressed all my concer...ns and questions, always responding promptly to emails and phone calls. He demonstrated an ability to respond with patience and provided guidance based on his professional knowledge. I would highly recommend Stephen for any area of family law!

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.

After a brief consultation with Stephen, I knew he was the lawyer for me. He explained the separation and divorce processes and prepared me step by step as to what to expect. He provided me with valuable, honest and accurate advice. He was professional and supportive. He did not waver and maintained ...a strong work ethic throughout the process. From the beginning, I trusted him and knew my case was in good hands. Getting through a divorce is a difficult, nerve- racking and painful experience ( at least it was for me), but I knew Stephen was there for me representing my best interest. He kept me focused, answered my many questions, emails and phone calls, and effectively dealt with the endless paperwork, emails, and negotiations. I highly recommend Stephen.

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!!
