Brilliant Attorney

Mr. Whang proved to be a very solid and strong attorney. He demonstrated unsurpassed knowledge of the law and how to apply the law to get me the best outcome possible. He is well connected in all realms of the legal world which I believe helped my case. Along the way, he maintained a personal conne...ction helping me stay calm providing me with insight and support to decrease my anxiety. I strongly recommend Simon Whang as an attorney.

Incredible Lawyer

Simon has not only restored my life for myself and my family but also restored my faith in the legal system as a whole. He is an amazing lawyer, and his attention to detail is far beyond my expectations when it comes to proving the the truth and fighting for justice. I have the ability to start my li...fe again and eventually gain back what I have lost over being falsely accused. Thank you and so much more!

Review from Marcus Emory Blackwell for Simon Yhang

I am writing this review for two reasons. First, Simon Whang, defended(protected) me, recently, in a criminal case....... using legal knowledge and common sense. I was found not guilty of any wrongdoing. Second, during consultation....Simon made me feel very comfortable in telling the truth, unafr...aid that I may say something wrong...I felt he was on my side.....professionally.

Saved my family

Simon Whang was amazing and meticulous during our case. He worked endless hours to bring justice for our family. He researched our case and saw through the lies and deception. He brought out the lies during the trial. It was amazing to see his compassion towards finding the truth and getting us t...he justice we deserved. I will be forever grateful to all the hard work and endless hours of research to give our family peace. Thank you so much. You are truly gifted trial lawyer.
