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.

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!!!

Mr. Chan is a great lawyer, he fought for me from the first time I reached out to him. Kept in touch with me throughout the whole process. Answered all my emails, and I have to admit they were excessive! lol He responded immediately anytime I reached out to him and broke down the process so i actuall...y understood what he was talking about. He is well liked by other lawyers, and is well known in Sacramento. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I hope I never need him again but if I do he will be the first person I call. I know people in similar circumstances who did not get the same outcome as me because they did not hire an attorney. He's worth every penny and is willing to work with you. Give him a call, HIGHLY recommended!!!!

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.
