My daughter and I are so blessed to have come across a such wonderful attorney.Hong will always be remembered in our hearts, because of him my daughter and I are reunited and I highly recommend to anyone who crosses my path in such difficulty with family law or any other situation that needs justice,... I truly recommend Hong as a trustworthy, loyal, and dedicated, committed, and the most hard-working intelligent attorney I've ever come across. This is such an inspiration to write this especially during this time of year, a great way to end the year we are truly blessed and thankful, I couldn't have asked for more. Sincerely, Jenny

"Very professional"

Hong Lyu is a very good attorney and i would use him again. Kept me informed about my case. He got my child support reduced. Was very pleased about the outcome. Thank you again.

Posted by Sean | May 31, 2012 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Very Professional and Diligent Attorney!

I hired Wallin & Klarich to represent me in a traffic matter that included three counts of speeding, failing to use designated lanes, and failing to stop for emergency vehicles. I was looking at a $994 fine and points on my driving record. On the day of my court trial, my attorney Hong Lyu appeared o...n my behalf and was able to get one of the counts dismissed. He was also able to get traffic school and a significant reduction in my fines. I would certainly recommend Mr. Lyu's services to anyone facing similar circumstances.
