The only Attorneys you need

Top level Lawyer!!! Trial tested and experienced!! I don't write novels for a living and my words written here will not do justice for MS. Chung and her abilities! Ms. Chung is thorough in her approach to the evidence and facts to proceed in your best interest. I was facing life sentences and after t...wo trials all charges were dropped!! I hope that's a strong enough statement!! I proclaimed my innocence from day one and defended my honor in court not once but for two trials before all charges were dismissed. I prayed to the Heavenly Father when I began searching for a Criminal Defense Lawyer and my prayer was answered in guidance to hire Ms. Chung! God is good but the prosecution team is not so selecting the right Attorneys is crucial! Make no mistake innocent people go to prison so whether you need a proven Trial Attorney or a well respected Criminal Defense Attorney to get you the best possible outcome hire Naomi Chung! You will not regret it!!!! May God bless you and best wishes

Professional, empathetic, and a relentless advocate...

Professional, empathetic, and a relentless advocate, Naomi took hold of my case and rid my life of an extremely detrimental problem. It's cliché but true: sometimes the mistakes of the past come back to haunt us. And after making a stupid mistake when I was 19 and being arrested, pleading no cont...est, completing my sentence, having my record expunged by the court, and staying out of trouble for 20 years, my record resurfaced. So much for expungement. A friend recommended I see Naomi. She listened intently, asked insightful and pertinent questions, and learned all she could from me. She tracked my 20-year-old case down (no small feat I'm told) and then came back with even more information from the court so she knew every inch of my dilemma. She gave me multiple options, guided me through her process, explained why she was choosing the route she was, walked me through possible outcomes, and kept me updated every step of the way. I'm happy to say she made the expungement stick this time. I'm no longer burdened by the dumb mistake I made and do not have to worry that my record might still be out there in the ether somewhere. I would highly recommend Naomi to friends, family and colleagues who need an attorney. Thank you, Naomi!

Best of the best

I feel extremely fortunate to have hired Naomi to handle my case. She always made time for me and my family, left no stone unturned, and fought for me every step of the way. Naomi is an aggressive and brilliant lawyer. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a great result. She will fight fo...r you!

Wonderful Attorney

I give Attorney Naomi Chung my highest recommendation without any reservations. I retained Attorney Chung to represent me in a very complicated case and she was very professional, hardworking, dedicated and extremely smart. If you need a great attorney, there is no need to look any further.

Extremely Satisfied

Naomi is dedicated, proactive and very passionate about giving her clients the best representation possible. I found her very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. She understands that being charged with a crime is a frightening situation that most of us don't deal with frequently. I always fe...lt like she was available when a question or concern arose and she made sure I understood my exposure and options. She's a defender of rights, she's the real deal. If you hire Naomi you can rest assured that you are in great hands.
