DUI

Since day one Ariel has made me feel ten times better about my case. She even took the time to explain in detail the entire process and what I have to do on my end to ensure that my priorities are met. Any questions I have, she is able to answer without a problem and on top of it, makes the complicat...ed legal talk not seem so bad. I have not had to attend a court date, which is extremely convenient, up until the final charges and Ariel always follows up after each appearance. She and her partner are the ones you want to hire! Thank you Ariel and Thomas!

An Attorney who cares

I contacted Attorney Chiu in the mid-night after I picked up a DUI because it was my first DUI and I was really panic. Despite of late time, Attorney Chiu talked to me for about 2 hours and explained me what was going to happen. In the conversation, attorney Chiu kept trying to calm me down and worri...ed about my mental condition. She helped me out throughout the process and always kept me in the loop so I know what is happening at the moment. Thank you very much, Ariel

"Ariel is an absolutely amazing attorney. Not only does she possess the necessary legal skills and knowledge, but she combines that with her unyielding tenacity in court. Put that together with her genuine concern for her clients, and you have an unparalleled criminal defense attorney. If I, or someone in my family, ever need a defense attorney, Ariel will be the person I call. I have no reservations at all about endorsing Ariel. Any client would be lucky to have Ariel by their side!"

"Arial and I attended the elite Trial Lawyers College together offered by legendary defense lawyer Gerry Spence. Arial was a star of our program, competing with lawyers twice her age. She is exactly the kind of lawyer I would want on my side--and at my side--if wrongfully accused of a crime or in need of representation. She is not only a gifted and skillful advocate, but also a compassionate human being with great character and integrity. And Don't let her youthfulness fool you. She's the kind of lawyer Gerry Spence says he most feared in a courtroom."

"Shoshuen Chiu, or 'Ariel' as I know her, is a young attorney I have known for over a year. I have had the opportunity to work with her on several matters with complex legal issues and I have found her to be super-smart with a keen legal mind. She is made for a lawyer. I have been an attorney for 15 years and I have never found a smarter young attorney. In addition, she is one of the best legal writers I have met, and that is saying a lot. And she is as nice as they get, which is not always the case with one with such a great talent. Because of the foregoing, I heartily endorse attorney Shoshuen, 'Ariel' Chiu."
