She's the best!!!

Want an attorney that will listen to you? Keep her word and give it to you straight when discussing matters and make you feel appreciated? Look no further. Cecilia Chen is the consummate communicator who says what she means and means what she says. She breaks complex issues down so clearly you cannot... misunderstand or misinterpret her. You will know exactly where you stand and can take what she tells you at face value. If she says she’s gonna do something, she does it. She is also very knowledgeable, pleasant, respectful of your time and works quickly. You won’t just trust her…you will like her, refer others to her and even write a review for her. I work 75-90 hours a week and don’t have time for anything yet even I made time to write a review for her. That’s saying something! Cecilia is not your average attorney…she’ll be your legal savvy friend. Call her for a consultation…you’ll see.

We highly recommend Cecilia Chen

Cecilia was terrific throughout our whole Chapter 13 filing. She was very knowledgeable and helped us through the whole experience. She was very responsive to any questions we had and fought to get us the lowest payment possible. I would highly recommend Cecilia Chen if you are considering filing ban...kruptcy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
