Highly recommended

A friend referred me to Mr. Chang, and It was the best decision I could ever make. In a matter of minutes, Mr. Chan called and explained to me step by step what to do. I highly recommend Kravitz & Chan Firm, they are very professional, and they know the protocols to follow. The resolution of my case ...was fast and favorable.

Compassionate Honest Knowledgeable

I was looking for a lawyer that would represent me for license reinstatement. It was a stressful situation and I had no idea where to start. I contacted Paul and was immediately put at ease. He was kind, compassionate, honest and extremely knowledgeable. He broke down the whole process into manage...able steps. I felt like he was in this with me, which made the whole experience far less daunting. My hearing went well and my license was reinstated. I am beyond thankful to Paul and his amazing staff.

Compassionate Attorney

I was in complete despair when I called Kravitz Chan and was immediately connected to Paul Chan. I explained my situation and he just listened. I called a few attorneys prior to speaking with Paul. The couple of attorneys who spoke to me were impatient and was only interested in getting me to pay ...their retainer. Paul answered all of my questions and was not trying to get me to hire him. I decided to hire Paul and his fees were more than fair. Over the next 6 months, Paul would respond to all of my calls and emails. He kept me informed and I am happy to say that he was able to get a positive outcome. He saved my license and my career. I’m forever grateful for him being there for me.

One honest, intelligent and diligent attorney

As a professional, having your license being revoked is an event that can destroy your career and self esteem. Especially when the allegations are neither true nor close there to. I was faced with a circumstance when I could have lost my license, notwithstanding my having been cleared of any wrongdoi...ng by both my colleagues and the hospital which employed me. Thankfully I was referred to Mr. Chan. He was not wanting me to settle my case; he knew I needed to show my professional peers my license and practice were both done according to the highest ethical standards. Paul believed me, not just on my word, but after he considered the evidence and did an exhaustive investigation of his own. He looked me in my eyes and told me 1) he knew I was I innocent: and 2) he would trust his family to my care. I broke down crying, knowing a top legal professional both knew of my innocence and trusted me with his family. With Paul’s support and extraordinary legal skill, I was shown innocent. No plea; a trial showed I did more than required to help my patient. Thank you Paul, for being an expert attorney and an honest, kind and talented man.

Excellent Lawyer

After receiving a DUI, I was placed on nursing probation. I was very thankful to have Paul Chan as my attorney. He is very knowledgeable about the law and how the board of nursing works.
