Excellent Family Law Attorney

Stephen Chen was absolutely great to work with in my divorce. I met with many attorneys prior to Stephen, all who seemed competent but pushed to take the most difficult and expensive route possible. Stephen understood my situation, listened to what I wanted and how I wanted it handled and he delivere...d it. I am very thankful for how painless he made the process for me. Each time we met, he was fully caught up on my case and I didn't need to remind him of my details or particulars. If you are in the unfortunate situation of needing a Family Law Attorney you will be doing yourself a favor by contacting his office.

Finally, an attorney with integrity and lighting speed work !!

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

Excellent, smart, affordable, easy to work with, gets the job done

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.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"When I substituted into an existing case, I found Mr. Chen to be a pleasant and respectful opposing counsel in a tough divorce case. He communicated with me promptly and cooperated with me to negotiate a fair resolution of our case without either side needing to incur additional attorney fees. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I hope to have a case with him as opposing counsel again."
