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!

Smart Attorney

James Chau represented my DV Case. He has battled for me; it has not been easy. It has been an emotional challenge for me. He made sure to be there for me on time at each hearing dates and make the journey smoother for me. He is a great attorney.

Super responsive and helpful

James has been with me on my case for over a year now. He’s helped me through tough issues like parental alienation and kept my progress moving steadily forward in this time. James cares deeply about his clients and their cases and is extremely organized. I never had to remind him of small nuances of... my case. My case is concluding this week and I believe we came to a great agreement. I wouldn’t have gotten there without James.

Trusted, strategic and effective attorney.

James handled my divorce case effectively and I rely on him for strategic counseling even when I am in pro per. My case was not as complicated and James was always knowledgeable around the strategies and solutions. In times where people may feel they can handle and file their own divorce case, it is ...wise to consult and work with an experienced and efficient attorney. James was definitely that attorney I needed by my side. I would recommend James to handle every scale of the matters, from uncomplicated to complicated matters. Knowing that James is available and will stand by my side when I need advice is an incredible feeling.
