Worst experience ever

Mr. Chin does not respond and dropped the ball on my case multiple times over the course of 3 years. I am now in a situation I wouldn't be in if it weren't for his inherent incompetence, not to mention his receptionist who did any actual "work: (there was very little on their part anyway) giving inac...curate information. The minute I asked him to withdraw I found out a whole lot about my case that was not disclosed by him, making me look horrible for not attending hearings, scheduling mediation, general responses all because they were aware and simply waited until the last minute to tell me, if at all. I have now asked multiple times for a statement of where the retainer went and as with the majority of my dealings with them, they are simply ignoring the request. I've been better off since handling things myself. I received a text message (you read that right) from his son (a number I did not know) informing me that there was a hearing that morning that his secretary told me more than once was not happening. Her words were "I'm sorry your witnesses took time off but we can't change the court rules". They hadn't even contacted my witnesses anyway.

Best Lawyer & the REAL DEAL! Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Ronald Chin also the owner of "Chin Legal Group" is not only one of the many important pillars of our community, but he also passionately has devoted his life to continuing to helping his clients within our community! I have seen & had him go to whatever length it has will take in my case to see just...ice & ensure that his clients are fairly & accurately given the results of the legal system. His knowledge is beyond the many of these young outrageous priced "peacocks" in the area who think they are savvy with their high retainers, & yet he gets results over them time & again! Never once have I come out of any legal action in vastly complicated situations both in my cases & in the litigation without a "loss"! There is nothing more emotional, or taxing on a person than family law, hence why it is so expensive because the money-hungry flashy lawyers will say they can! Yet Ron fights for the GOOD, and what puts "JUST" in JUSTICE! He not only knows up he upholds the law, even challenging those in the face of "gotcha" moment in court! He also truly cares about you as a person as his client! He is someone I not only admire, refer anyone to that is facing the terrible reality of family law, but he is the type of person I believe is what the law stands for in the position of legal representation! He has never once given up on such a complicated & frustrating case! He has fought for my only reason to continue the battles I have faced, my child! Ron Chin works with you to stay on track, & focusing on the facts to protect you, your rights, your integrity, & most importantly your family life! Ron is one of the smartest, most knowledgeable lawyers in the area, doesn't judge people who have made mistakes, he focuses & sets you up to face them, & getting the results you want, need & deserve in all areas! I cannot be more grateful for having him in my life; along with his team who work so hard, advocate, & keep going when you're fighting for your life! You may feel defeated, but walk into his office, lay out the facts, the results you want, & he will fight for you & all will show you what you haven't been able to see in being able to leverage to get these results! There are no loose ends with "Chin Legal Group", & Jessica is one of the most amazing paralegals! The entire office makes you feel cared for, at home, and apart of your family! If you want an ethical, amazing lawyer, and one who knows Snohomish County inside & out, hire Ron! Also, it is pretty admirable how he has no problem with allowing his son, & other associates in the legal world help when needed. He is still always educating himself, and no two cases are the same, but his results & all of "Chin Legal Group" results speak for themselves! One of the best things in my life was meeting Ron, and I have no doubts that anyone else would feel the same! I am proud to be a client, & I will never be able to thank Ron or anyone at the office enough for what has been done!

Very Positive Experience

I engaged Ron to repair damage done in a case that was totally mishandled by another attorney. Ron not only did an Excelent job for me but working with him was one of the more pleasant experiences in my life. Thank you Ron

Awesome Attorney

Mr. Chin has been my attorney for the past 5 years, because my ex has a hard time letting go, Mr Chin has been with me every step of the way. I've always been able to talk to him when I call or he returns my calls promptly. His fees are more than reasonable and he has a lot of experience. His secreta...ry Cindy is awesome! If Mr Chin is not around she is more than happy to help me with what I need or answer any questions or make sure that Mr. Chin calls me back. I would without a doubt recommend Mr chin to help you fight your battle.
