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!

Excellent experience

I hired James to handle my divorce case. He is very sharp, organized, and focused. He went to work on my case quickly from the start, was diligent in going thru documentation, and pays attention to details. I appreciate that he responded quickly via email or calls, and was very much on top of thin...gs, wasted no time. He explains things clearly and effectively. I'm very glad that he represented me for my case. I strongly recommend him.

Trustworthy and competent

I hired Mr. Chau for my custody case. He provided immediate assistance and quickly reviewed my needs. Unfortunately, my situation changed. After informing Mr. Chau, he was reasonable and fair allowing me to exit without complications. He is a good legal resource. He has offered his open door, shoul...d my needs change and I really enjoyed working with his support staff, Jamie. Together they worked hard to facilitate my needs. They are a pleasure to work with and always kept my best interest at the forefront, beyond my expectations. I recommend reaching out to the Law Office of James Chau for your family court needs.

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.
