Paul Chan saved my career.

Hiring Mr. Chan was the best decision I've ever made. I was confident he would try his best to get me back to work. I am forever grateful to him and his Office. I had a very good experience working with him. He was knowledgeable in policy and procedures for the Dept. I am currently employed for. Than...k you Paul for a job well done. I will be sure to recommend his office to anyone in need.

A lawyer's lawyer

I am an attorney who needed expert litigation counsel for a trial. I hired Paul to represent my client and he did a fabulous job. He is intelligent, experienced and hard working. I would hire him myself or recommend him to another client.

Best Case Scenario--- Paul = Results!

I hired Paul at a time when I was scared and did not know what to do to save my career as an RN. He was kind with clear answers and reassurance. He guided me in how to obtain reference letters to provide a strong mitigation case. His flat fee was very reasonable. He knows the law. Because of his le...gal experience and relationship with the BRN (Board of Registered Nursing), he was able to negotiate a public reproval and avoid a court hearing and probation. I am so grateful and relieved. I would definitely recommend him.

Finally, A Lawyer I Can Trust

I am a registered nurse (RN) by profession and before I contacted Mr. Chan for legal advice I asked several of my RN colleagues about his legal abilities in the healthcare industry. Each of my associates stated that Mr. Chan retained a reputation of honesty, legal astuteness, while maintaining a pro...fessional demenor with people but he was neither intimidating nor condescending when they were unsure of the legal course of direction they were to take. I have since referred several of my friends to Mr. Chan and they have all stated they were very pleased with the legal work he had performed on their behalf.

An honest lawyer who cares about his clients

Mr. Chan represented me about a year ago on an employment matter with the State of CA. The state terminated my employment and Mr. Chan not only got me my job back but he secured all my back pay plus interest. I call him up every once in awhile for legal questions and he talks to me and never sends ...me a bill. I have referred several co-workers and friends and they were pleased with his representation.
