Life saver

Worked with James through a difficult 3 year divorce. With his guidance, I was able to keep my kids and a great majority of my house despite having my wife divorce me from a 20+ year marriage with a laundry list of accusations, plus the kitchen sink. At first, my case didn't look promising. However, ...James slowly chipped away at all the accusations till the truth was revealed which resulted in a very good outcome for me. James balances cost and time so that the charges are as low as possible. Yet, he is thorough and concise in actions. With James, you can have the lowest costs if you have gone through a divorce before or have read up on what you are likely to go through. This way James doesn't have to explain the basics at a high cost to you. Great to have James on my side as he is head and shoulders above other more expensive lawyers (like my wife had).

Skilled and Personable Attorney

I can truthfully highly recommend Attorney James Chau who has handled a complex divorce and child support issue for myself a number of years ago. Recently when an additional family law issue arose, the first person I thought of was Mr. Chau. He is very personable, extremely knowledgeable in the are...a of family law and a true pleasure to work with. He let me know what to expect each step of the way, dealt with a difficult and litigious opposing party and always let gave me an accurate picture of the options and legal costs. The case settled with a resolution that was fair and equitable to both parties. Thank you Mr. Chau for all of your hard work on our behalf!

James Chau is an excellent attorney who truly cares about his clients!

He helped me to bring an end to over a year-long legal battle with my ex-spouse. My ex-spouse had been attempting to overturn several agreements that we made during our divorce a few years ago. Since I hired James, he was able to provide sound legal advice, keep me informed of every step of the proc...ess, and fought tirelessly to uphold my rights and interests. I am grateful for the favorable outcome that James achieved on my behalf. I highly recommend him.

Great experience. Highly recommended!

After going it by myself in my custody case for a couple of years, I began to feel hopeless and like I was spinning my wheels. I consulted with several attorneys, but after speaking with James Chau, I immediately knew he was the one. He was patient, listened to my story, asked questions, and shared w...ays we could proceed to achieve my desired outcome. Upon retaining James, he immediately got to work on my case, kept me well informed of progress, and always responded to phone calls and emails promptly. Though opposing counsel had a habit of dragging the case along, James made sure to keep her on task and kept things moving. Through all of this, James was also mindful of costs and always looked for ways and solutions to keep them minimal. I'm happy to say that I now share joint physical and legal custody of my children and I most definitely could not have done it without James Chau. Thank you james!
