James Chau

After being separated from my children for six months due to a highly complicated di-vorce and restraining order, I felt like I was fighting an uphill battle with a minimal chance of winning. Everything changed when I switched to Attorney James Chau. Right away, he gave me hope by providing clear dir...ection and a brilliant strategy. James and his paralegal Angelie Opalla move quickly, work with absolute integrity, and are incredibly thorough and detail oriented. James truly knows the law inside and out, always anticipating risks and looking out for things that could harm your case. With James, you can trust 100% that he is on your side and fighting fiercely for your rights. I cannot thank him enough for reuniting my children and me. On June 5th, 2026, we finally got to celebrate being back together! Quan T.

I hired James and his team to assist with my father’s divorce and child custody issues last year. For anyone this is a difficult time, with a ton of stress and frustration, but James’s guidance and knowledge was godsend. He is diligent and concise - everything was timely, and well explained (especial...ly as a third party to the situation). I hope to not need his services again, but if I did I would definitely reach out to James and his team!

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).

I had the privilege of collaborating with Mr. Chau during my child custody case, and I am satisfied with the level of service and expertise he delivered. His professionalism was exceptional, and he maintained clear and open lines of communication throughout the entire process. Mr. Chau also exhibite...d a remarkable ability to establish expectations, eliminating any room for unexpected surprises. In sum, I have absolutely no reservations about seeking his counsel again for any future similar cases.

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!
