Devin Heng Fok

I am posting this public warning to protect other consumers from my catastrophic experience with Devin Fok and DHF Law, P.C. within just one week of signing a retainer agreement. This firm engaged in targeted professional abandonment, gross negligence, and bad-faith manipulation of time sensitive leg...al funding that directly resulted in severe financial devastation, housing instability, and documented physical distress. I hired this firm for a consumer protection matter against Checkr during an active housing crisis. Devin Fok explicitly knew my livelihood and emergency shelter depended entirely on securing immediate pre-settlement legal funding. Instead of acting with competence, he and his staff completely sabotaged my case through a systematic pattern of "ghosting" and malpractice. Written Admission of Sabotage (Rockpoint Funding): Devin Fok explicitly admitted in a written email that he submitted a half-made, incomplete packet to Rockpoint Funding because he "didn't get a chance to fully review" my vital DMV records. Withholding mandatory documentation during an active housing emergency directly caused the delay and denial of my emergency funding. Failure to supervise staff & total failure to Communicate: His paralegal, Daisy, sent written emails explicitly apologizing for completely ignoring my critical 3:30 PM PST communications during my crisis Devin just simply responded with even more incompetence by admitting he actively sabatoged my perfectly good legal funding relationship with Rockpoint funding by purposely sending them a half done file case.... *THiS MANS CHARACTER iS HiGHLY FLAWED. HE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE BUSiNESS OF LAW AT ALL. Under California Rule of Professional Conduct 5.1, an attorney is strictly responsible for their staff's neglect.The Three Strike Ghosting Timeline: On Friday 7/10, he promised submission and ghosted me all weekend. On Monday 7/13, he promised submission again and ignored all status updates. On Tuesday 7/14, after I independently secured an opportunity with Legal Bay Funding, he refused to send the packet, made false promises, and abandoned me completely. Admitted Professional Greed: When confronted, Devin Fok explicitly stated on the phone that he was dropping my case because he "did not need it" and had "other higher paying cases." Under California legal ethics, an attorney cannot dump an emergency client out of pure financial greed to pursue larger payouts elsewhere.The sudden psychological pressure and severe emotional distress inflicted by his willful misconduct reached a breaking point, causing a physical crisis that required active medical monitoring and hospital documentation. I have formally terminated his services effective immediately as of July 16, 2026, and have filed a formal Attorney Misconduct Complaint with the State Bar of California Intake Department for clear violations of California Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (Competence), 1.4 (Communication), 1.16 (Declining/Terminating Representation), and 5.1 (Supervising Staff).Every phone log, timestamped screenshot, and written email admission from his office has been fully preserved. Stay far away from this firm if your life, livelihood, or shelter is on the line.
