Avoid - slow, rude and incompetent

Attorney forgot who my fiancée was, took several months to close a premarital agreement, tried to upsell us work and didn’t act in our best interests, provided zero edits in reviewing the document. Neither competent, well mannered, nor effective.

Very responsible lawyer!

Ms Zhang is a very responsible, supportive and fantastic lawyer. She encouraged, supported and helped with me for the past a few years. I cannot be me without her. I find myself and confidence in life. She is the best family lawyer.

If you don't want to lose everything, change her now

I chose her because I speak Mandarin and I thought it will help case communication but it ends as a nightmare. She was very mean to me and said it's court training for you but she was very nice to opposite side. No matter what I requested her to say or to do in the court, she rarely did it but no mat...ter what other party asked, she mostly said Yes. She has no idea about tech company profit sharing and you need to spend your time and money teaching her. She called me to discuss the case in the night, even 10pm. She is terribly incompetent in the court and made my first hearing totally a mess. I'm not even sure if she knows family law. I changed her immediately after that and my case suddenly is totally different. If you don't make your case worst, find another one.

Please try to avoid

I am a Chinese, so I think Melinda would be a great help since she speaks Mandarin. However, she seriously does not understand family law. She has an assistant where she always asked him for advice time to time. She's very aggressive me, but shows her incompetent in court and dealing things with the ...attorney from the other part. Please try to avoid. I switch to another attorney after her and it is a BIG difference. She is just trying to make things more miserable.

Probably saved my life

Ms. Zhang handled my asylum application, and I truly believe that without her, I might not be alive today. I went to another attorney first, and they told me that I had little chance of staying in the U.S., that I should just leave and hope for the best. Then I found Ms. Zhang, and she agreed fig...ht for me. We worked many late nights putting together information needed. She charged me a low fixed price, because that's what I could afford. She made me get documentation that I never even considered would be useful. We had to resubmit some parts, and she helped me with that as well. When I received notice that I could stay in this great country, I cried for an hour. I highly recommend her, and wish her all the success she deserves.
