This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Look no further!

I highly recommend Ms Chung. Ms Chung has been my consulting attorney the past 4 years. She has always led my focus to stay ahead of the legal situations that I've been faced with. It's been an emotional rollercoaster ride but when you have a strong, experienced and strategic attorney on your side... like Ms Chung you get winning results.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

One of a kind!

I met Ms. Chung in the mid 90’s thru a referral of a lawyer friend. She was the last of 3 attorneys that I had interviewed and I knew from minutes in that she was the one for me. That was one of my smartest decisions to hire her. Susan Chung is a smart, strategic, tough, and pragmatic attorney. She... provided me a 24/7 number to contact her if needed, but fortunately did not. My children’s welfare was always the forefront of her concern. After 9 grueling years, Susan settled my contentious divorce thru a MSC. Susan Chung is truly special and I feel fortunate to have her help when I needed it most.

Husband and wife team

Susan and Kevin make a great legal team. They are excellent at their profession. They help you stay focused on the important stuff. They care about their clients and are true advocates. I was a client 25 years ago (Custody case) but have stayed in touch ever since.

Best Family Law Attorney you will find

Susan Chung was my family law attorney and saved me and my children from sure disaster. I had the typical case with the ex feeling as if, "I made all the money, I get to keep it". Susan felt differently and let him have it in court. But, she is fair and doesn't try to destroy lives, just helps pe...ople to get a fair settlement and be able to move on. She did that for me and I will be forever grateful. I have her on retainer because I have one child still under age. I haven't needed to contact them, but just in case. My ex-husband just needs to hear the words, "I still have Suzy on retainer" and he falls right in line. I highly recommend her and I do to anyone who asks. My ex-husband recommends her too!

Grateful client of Susan Chung

Susan represented me in my divorce several years ago. She was strong, knowledgable and caring. She was a true advocate for me and my daughter. She was very responsive and kept me informed and focused so I was able to become pro-active and contribute information in support of my case. Because of th...e able representation of Susan, and her partner, Kevin Romano, I did not become a victim of the process nor of my former spouse. I highly recommend Susan.
