Thank you

I'm so thankful for all that Jinoo Hwang and Isaac Jackson did for me during one of the most traumatic times of my life. I highly recommend working with both of them.

Expungement

Mr. Hwang, and his assistant handled my expungement in a professional, and timely manner. I was notified with each step of the process, and it was explain to me in detail.

Thankful and Grateful to Mr. Hwang

Throughout the time that Mr. Hwang and I worked together on my court case, I found him to be highly professional and precise in the work that he did as well as his social encounters with other people involved in the case. I was extremely pleased with how thorough he was in each section or part of the... case that he worked on. He was diligent and very aware of any and all changes that had to be made, and even on several occasions, went back several times to check to make sure that everything had been done correctly. He constantly conferred with me about everything involved with the case. His attention to detail and commitment to good communication was exemplary. Never once did I wonder what was going on with the case, as I received regular updates and explanations of what was going on and why. I give Mr. Hwang a big thumbs up, as well as five stars for his sterling work as an attorney. I would refer Mr. Hwang to anyone who was looking for someone to handle legal matters for them, no matter what was involved in the case. His knowledge of the laws of this state set my mind at ease, and I knew always that I could trust his advice completely.

To Whomever this may concern:

Jinoo Hwang legally represented me during the course of two years. It became readily apparent to me that Jinoo is not only a gifted man with the Law but has an ability to dig deep, gather the facts and place them in well planned documents. Through the months of correspondence; Jinoo maintained a hi...gh level of communication in a timely and easy to understand manner. Watching Jinoo communicate with clients and witnesses allowed me to see the confidence and professionalism he displays. Through time I have acquired a deep respect for Jinoo and consider him not only my Attorney but a friend as well. I have had the rare chance of seeing into Jinoo off the job. I've observed that Jinoo is honest, has integrity and a level of caring and compassion not often seen: not to mention that Jinoo is just a pleasant man to be around. I know for a fact that Jinoo has worked late nights, and on a crunch into the early hours of the morning to be prepared on my behalf. I am very Grateful for all that Jinoo has done for me. I can't imagine where I would have been without his help. As an Attorney and Counselor at Law, Jinoo has been a lifesaver to me professionally and knows when to be an emotional support as well. I would recommend Jinoo as an Attorney to anyone who needs Legal representation; as a man who can get the job done and do it well.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
