Peter Chang

I called this guy for some help regarding a speeding ticket. He was rude and arrogant, he doesn't listen, the guy loves to hear himself speak. In fact he'll hang up on you mid-sentence rather than listen to your questions or concerns. Peter Chang of the California Coast Law Office is unprofessional. ...When choosing your legal representation be sure to look elsewhere.

I was referred to Peter by the Attorney Search Network. It's my own fault that I didn't look at his reviews before hiring. Even during the consultation, he didn't want to hear what I had to say and just said he would be able to represent me. After hiring him and signing the contract, I reached out to... him multiple times to see what he wanted to do with my case, but he never replied to my texts or emails until I actually called him. When I finally got the court date, I asked him for advice on how to proceed and his responses were full of attitude. He also told me I had to be present for the trial, even though I did not need to (and I had hired him so I didn't need to be there physically in court). When I told him I was leaning more towards pleading not guilty instead of settling, he kept saying I should just settle even after saying my case was triable. It was clear he didn't actually want to fight my case and wanted to take the easy way out to save his own time. He also kept emphasizing how long we had already been on the phone which made it abundantly clear that he felt talking to his client was a waste of time. It was clear he was only concerned about collecting easy money rather than doing his job. I became very fearful that he wouldn't fight my case to the best of his abilities, and based on his reviews, he seems to have a history of not showing up for cases; I cut my losses and fired him. I ended up going with Adam at Ticket Crushers CA and he was able to get my case dismissed. If I had stayed with Peter, I would have had the speeding ticket on my record, but thank goodness I went with my intuition to terminate him and find a new lawyer. Peter's unprofessionalism is by far unmatched with any other lawyer I've spoken with. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your representation.

I got a red light ticket in Bakersfield. I wasn't able to go back to Bakersfield so I hired Peter to represent me. He rushed through the phone consolation He never showed up for the court date. When I went to renew my license I had an outstand ticket on my record. I contacted Peter who “Claimed” ...that the judge postponed my hearing. I contacted the court to find out that he never showed. After the second hearing I had to pay a fine and got 2 points in my license due to the fact of being a “No Show” to the first hearing. Then he had the nerve to ask for another $50 to cover his costs. The second I let his secretary that he never showed to the first hearing and it cost me points on my license and I would be contacting the Bar association for negligence of his responsibility, than the pestering calls stopped.

Hired Peter for a traffic ticket case, when he communicated with me, he didn't provide professional explanation about attorney's professional view of the case or what/why/how to handle the case clearly. Peter seems always busy and wants to close conversation quickly, instead of provide clear answers ...for client's questions. I had to do lots of my own research and guess what he will do for my case, and asked him the reason of his advise is because of this or that. Definitely not a good experience.

I was cited for speeding in Kern County Ca while driving a commercial vehicle. I hired Mr Chang to represent me as I live in Washington State. After a couple of phone calls and a few emails he set a court date and shortly after I received a letter thanking me for my business and letting me know my t...icket had been dismissed. I now still have a clean cdl with no CVSA points. Thank you Mr Chang!
