Highly recommend Lydia

I went through years of litigation and switched attorneys several times because my prior attorneys did not respond to emails or articulate my position to the other side or judge. Lydia completely turned my case around and we were able to settle before trial. Other issues have arisen in my case, a...nd I trust that Lydia and her team will be able to successfully assist me in resolving those issues as well. I wish I had hired her from the beginning.

Professional, Efficient, and Compassionate

I cannot say thank you enough to Lydia and Lillian for their help! The turnaround time for everything was quick and it was GREATLY appreciated. They were able to help me compile documents needed before I got married and they were both so sweet and professional. If you are needing legal services I hig...hly recommend Foster Hsu.

Trustworthy attorney! efficient, professional AND compassionate

I am so grateful to have found Lydia during a complex and time sensitive divorce proceeding. She is an exceptional attorney who worked efficiently to understand my case and quickly began to strategize my options. The firm as a whole is highly responsive and also mindful of costs-so you are treated no...t just professionally, but also compassionately during a stressful time. Lydia understands the potential obstacles within the family law court system and provides clear and concise path forward. I highly valued her honesty regarding explaining the pros/cons during filings and when an issue was out of her family law scope- she even provided me excellent references. Working with Lydia gave me confidence that I was moving forward in the best way possible for my family and the investment was well worth it-highly highly recommended Lydia Hsu and her firm!

Professional, knowledgable and compassionate

Lydia is wonderful to work with. She walked me through what was happening every step of the way and ensured I understood. I appreciated how easy she was to talk to, her compassionate demeanor, and how knowledgeable she is. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. She was quick, helpful,... and professional.

Highly recommend Lydia Hsu

I was recommended to Foster Hsu after spending months with another law firm attempting mediation for my divorce. I'm very glad I called them. I'm very happy with the very personal level of care and consideration my case was given. Lydia was as very strong advocate for me, and was very realistic when ...presenting different scenarios when I had hard decisions to make. Lillian, the Office Manager/Legal Assistant, was always very helpful and attentive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this Firm based on the level of professionalism, and care they provide for their clients.
