An Attorney You Can Trust To Be On Your Side!

Lasy year, I was in really bad shape financially because of the large amount of credit card debt I had incurred. Sally Chan and West Themis Law worked tirelessly to settle all my credit card accounts. I put complete trust in Sally and her team to always act in my best interest to get me the best o...utcomes possible. Sally was very knowledgable about the credit card industry and I was impressed with the methods and strategies used to get me the best results possible. Throughout the process, Sally's team kept me well-informed and followed up tirelessly with the credit card companies. As of February this year I am 100% credit card debt-free thanks to Sally and her amazing team at West Themis Law. A huge financial burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I am eternally grateful to Sally and her team for this. I highly recommend Sally and West Themis Law.

A true mastermind attorney!

As a seasoned business professional, I have retained at least 10 attorneys in the past for matters such as bankruptcy creditor actions, partnership disputers, labor law defense, customs disputes, commercial real estate and copyright actions. Of all the law firms my businesses have retained, Sall...y and her team at West Themis are by far, the most astonishing. They work 10x faster and more efficient than all of the attorneys and law firms that I've used. Sally's methods are very concise, methodical, and strategic. She filed a certain motion in a case that my former attorneys at a larger firm never did. With her firm, I got answers, strategy, and results at much lower rates. Sally is the managing partner at West Themis Law. This law firm has a team of attorneys and professionals that handle different related areas of law that helps them strategize and attack each matter with different areas of law. They don't do copyright. All in all, I am very impressed. I think their secret to delivering quality, fast, and affordable representation is because of Sally's management style and use of technology. Also, I am sure that not locating themselves in a high riser definitely translates to savings to their clients. Like I said, highly recommended.
