Granddaughters' interest

I have worked with other attorneys in the past, but have found my experience with Calvin S. Louie and his associate, Jennifer M. Hutchinson, outstanding! They were knowledgeable of the law, responsive to our questions and they created a legal strategy that helped resolve the case in our best interest.... I highly recommend them for• your legal needs.

Prepared and Thorough

Our nonprofit agency needed legal counsel quickly over the holidays and Calvin responded. Not only was his guidance helpful during a stressful period, he helped us calmly walk through the necessary steps, making sure we were informed and prepared for the many possible outcomes in court. He and his ...staff encouaraged us to ask questions and when we did, they responded promptly with professionalism and thoroughness. Calvin and his staff exude an enthusiasm and passion for what they do. We were able to achieve the outcome we sought and feel we have also gained a trustworthy friend.

fabulous lawyer

We are very lucky to meet with Mr. Louie. Our case is very complicated and serious because false claim caused arrest and we did not have any power to sentence guilty must cause losing VISA status in the US. Our family was almost destroyed. We almost gave up everything… However, he encouraged us and s...olved all our problems, not only legal issues but also family issues. He was always carefully taking care of us and gave us the best advices. On the last court day District Attorney mentioned about Mr. Louie’s work with such words, “Great!” “Excellent!” “Impressive!”. It is the evidence of what he did for us and what he can do. We think he is the best lawyer in the Bay Area for criminal cases of family issues. If you have any similar problem, we strongly recommend contacting with Mr. Louie.

Helpful and empathetic

Calvin was helpful in providing a strategy for my case and to assist me in completing the case after it became contentious and beyond my means to complete.

Calvin Louie is a great advocate and a very knowledgeable attorney

Calvin Louie has been my attorney through some very trying situations over the past several years. He and his staff were always available for questions, for support and follow through. He successfully advocated for me through some very difficult times. He trusted what i had to say, and helped me p...rove my case successfully through several rounds of negotiation and court hearings. He is very knowledgeable about family law, and was able to help me understand what the law said, while at the same time fighting for my rights and making sure i did not do anything that would harm my case. I highly recommend him, and would hire him again instantly
