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!

James Chau is The One!

James Chau was awesome at helping me finish my ongoing custody case that seemed to never end prior to his support. He was readily available when I need him, very neutral and comes from a non-bias perspective, and works very efficiently to address issues of concern. He is fair in pricing. I thought I ...would never be able to hire and maintain a lawyer and a great one at that, but James Chau was there for me. He helped me gain all my goals for my case and more. I enjoyed working with him and can now finally say my case has ended thanks to him! If you can hire him, do it! You will not regret it.

Very professional and responsive divorce lawyer

James chau has helped me in the middle of divorce process at the time I was stuck to finalize my divorce. After his professional advice and legal process, I can finalize my divorce with reasonable divorce settlement. James Chau provided me very useful professional legal divorce and he was very resp...onsive on my case. Definitely I will use his service again for my future marriage advice and also I will recommend his service to any friends I might know.
