Divorce Final!

Ms. Jin was my fourth and final attorney on an agonizingly long divorce. Ms. Jin cane highly recommended. Once I met her I knew immediately I liked her fire and spark. She was willing to take on a divorce that was stagnating. My divorce was actually very simple and involved no cusstagnant should have... been quick and simple. However, due to reasons beyond my control, it was not. Ms. Jin was Not intimidated by my spouse's attorney! Finally, due to her knowledge and expertise things began to move forward! She was supportive and listened to issues that were important to me. I can not express the extreme joy I felt when I saw the email, from Ms. Jin, and it read "Finally done"! I would recommend Ms. Jin to any friend in need.

Attorney Jewels Jin is a fantastic lawyer!!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jewels Jin Attorney at Law for the first time in the court room hallways of an exparte hearing at the Orange County Courthouse family court division. My attorney was on able to attend the hearing on such short notice and contacted Jewels Jin Attorney at Law to be ...a substitute for him. I was so impressed by Jewels intelligence, professionalism and amazingly positive demeanor that I immediately requested that she be my full-time lawyer in my divorce proceedings. Jewels represented me that day and throughout the divorce proceedings as best as I could have hoped anyone would be able to. Jewels was courteous, and sincerely considerate not only of myself but of my two angel princess daughters who were also devastated by their mothers unfaithfulness! I highly recommend Jewels Jin Attorney at Law to anyone who is considering being represented by the best attorney in any legal proceedings.

Jewels is aptly named

Ms. Jin was a great asset and advocate for a difficult and emotionally charged family law case. First, her initial consultation was provided at no charge. She laid out the various avenues and potential obstacles of each. She was very straight forward about her fees, and the range of hours involved..., based on several different factors. She was aggressive as I asked her to be, but calmed me down several times throughout three months of hearings. She was very savvy with all the other parties to the case, including the judge, family court services, and my ex-spouse. She has been very sensitive to privacy, my children, and current spouse. Altogether, she made a very slow and patience-testing process through the courts, bearable. Moreover, she helped shoulder the burden of stress that accompany most family law matters that cannot be settled outside of court.

Jewels Jin attorney at Law

This journey that I was on had me going a bit out of my mind. When I first contacted Jewels she immediately told me what needed to be done and how. Jewels was supportive, kind, caring and very generous in her efforts to complete the paperwork that needed to be done instantly. To understand this b...etter, Jewels had helped me with my first and last divorce. I am/was a domestic violence victim and she understood my needs, my wants and my concerns. I have two beautiful boys whom I love very much, and I wanted nothing more than for them to be with me always. I'd like to point out that Jewels was thorough on her work. She new that I was low income and had given me a reasonable rate which was worth it! Jewels had everything prepared on time mostly 95% of the time. I mean lets be honest, she is a lawyer who was not only working hard for me but for other low income clients as well. Jewels had taken full note into my needs and wants. She took notes on everything I said and needed such as, child support, visitation rights for my ex, and joint custody. She told me how and taught me how to save information for court in case it needed to be used against my opposer. Jewels had fought for me, she stood up for me in court, even though my opposer never showed. She was prepared, honest, and willing to admit any mistakes at any time and correct then that day or the next. In the end I ended up getting everything I wanted thanks to Jewels and her speedy and efficient work! I got joint custody or 90% sole custody, child support, and the visitation times I wanted for my ex. Thank you Jewels!!

" She is a powerful lady who goes above & beyond !!! She is the best ! "

In October 2012 my husband of 16 years served me with domestic violence and restring orders. I was so shocked by his action that I did not read it till I the 8 days be for I need to respond to the orders. I read the orders and I had know ID that it was very serious.,that I could have had a record...ed of violence against me for the rest of my life. Just for insulting my husband through text message. At that moment 8 day be for our court date i know I need to find a lawyer and fast. Made some calls and appointments for a free consultation. The free consultation to find out $12,000 I could never afford. I was in a state of panic now with only 7th day be for court date I got a list of League Aid lawyers called all 4 on the list. The 4 lawyers were help full but i need to find the means to pay. The 6th day in I thought will I ll just have to represent my self. I was all alone. Then I got a call from one of the 4 lawyers from League AID, Jewels she was so patience with me on the phone when i was a lost mess. She put me in my place.... and told me she will help and I need to pull my self together . Jewels is a power house of a lawyer she had 5 day to get all info that she need plus to get me in the right state of mind too. I was a serious mess did know left from my right . I so worried about the losing the case. Well Jewels Jin whip me in shape and work around the clock for me. JEWELS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ME ON THIS CASE AS I'M SURE SHE DOSE FOR ALL HER CLIENTS.. Jewels is at the top of her class she is the best thing that walk in to my life with out her to come to me and push me to see what could have been for me. Record of against me for life the lose of visitation with my daughter. WOW!!! Jewels pulled it off !!! She is a no nonsense lawyer who go out to win. I will be rehiring Jewels for my divorce too . I couldn't think of any one better then Jewels to get what i want out of my divorce and put her all in to the case. I highly recommend Jewels Jin.
