Clueless lawyer!

1. Probably one of the worse lawyer anyone can hire! 2. His lack of professionalism and incompetence are astonishing. 3. When he took on the case, we spoke on the phone and he assured me it will be a "slam-dunk" for him as it's a simple traffic ticket. 4. The communications with Mr. Chang were al...ways off, he didn't keep me updated with the case unless I keep messaging him. His answers were always just few useless words. 5. At the court date, he didn't even ask me to show up, he just sent me a text message that he lost the case and I had to pay the fine. He even texted me with the wrong fine amount! 6. My brother in law had the same exact ticket at the same court, and he was easily able to get it dismissed by a written declaration. 7. When I spoke with Mr. Chang on the phone, he was very dismissal, then he said it's nothing, it's just a fine (what was the point if hiring him in the first place then?!). 8. He also went on blaming me with non-sense lecture. 9. Lastly he started going in circles that he's a bottom feeder who takes little cases hoping to make some money out. 10. I later knew that his performance at the court was awful, he barely spoke, and and he looked like a joke. 11. If you are looking for a lawyer, go somewhere else, he is the WORST!!!

Firm and will fight for your case

" I have been struggling with child support for over 2.5 years. I just had enough of the court system and my patience had reached it limits with trying to work "magic" with my children's father. I was not referred to Robert! I took on my website skills and good luck in finding a close to home child s...upport lawyer. I was taking a risk! This was one of the best risks I took! At first I had a bad experience with a previous attorney I had hired at a different place. I was taking a high risk in putting my trust and my children's financial future! Robert is a very professional young lawyer who is very honest and knowledgeable. Robert, has showed me a side that I never thought a lawyer would care to show!!! Robert is very caring and a good listener and kept me positive during the most negative times of my life. I have to say, I will always consider him as a friend for all the support given to me and the practical help, by extending time and patience in getting all my necessary paper work in order. I highly recommend this law firm". I will hire Robert once again for my bankruptcy filing and will highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Very Competent and All-around Good Guy

Robert is terrific. I had a number of questions about a family law issue and he was generous with his time. He really helped clear up a lot of issues for me. I highly recommend him to anyone who has a family law issue.

Highly Recommended!!

Two very common pitfalls in life nowadays (divorce and bankruptcy) often go hand-in-hand...when you and your spouse no longer do. This is how things turned out for me, as a matter of fact. It's awesome that Mr. Chang is able to represent you and assist you through both of these life-changing events... at the same time! Brilliant! I've worked with many other lawyers, and I have to say, Mr. Chang is a rare breed. He actually replies to all of your emails and calls in a timely manner (often within a few hours, if not immediately). He even called me back while he was vacationing in Hawaii with his family! Talk about dedication! He is extremely personable, patient, honest, and actually cares about you and your case. He's really funny too, which definitely makes these very dreadful situations much less dreadful.

I highly recommend Robert Chang, he took care of our bankruptcy case. He was knowledgeable, reliable and always got back to me timely. He explained everything to my husband and me and made what could have been a bad experience, not so bad. You can't go wrong working with Robert Chang.
