Michael Spencer Chin

I am so excited that I had the chance to work with Michael and his team. I went through a divorce last year and I did not know what to expect. Michael and his team made the entire process smooth and flawless. They are very professional and kept me updated every step of the way. I thought that the pro...cess would drag out, but it didn't. I only was held for the mandatory waiting period. I will recommend Michael to anyone for any of their family related legal issues.

Michael and his staff were impressive from start to finish. First of all, I immediately felt more connected with Michael when he wasn’t trying to charge me just to hear why I was seeking an attorney. As a father in a custody case you automatically feel like you’re having more to prove climbing an uph...ill battle. Once I explained my situation and what I was fighting against and for, Michael and his staff seemed to have a personal stake in my case. They never made me feel like I was just another case, but truly in the best interest of my child. At no point in time did I ever feel like they were in it just for the paycheck. They were very open and honest on our proceedings, chances, options, and suggestions on how continue forward. Michael’s open and honest discussions kept me informed while building a trust that had me feeling confident every step of the way. His staff were especially helpful with every question I had, answering me often and frequently. Their positive communication to ensure every detail of our case was accurately filed and accounted for gave me a peace of mind that cannot be overstated. In the end we came out on top and my child is remaining in my custody. I am forever thankful for Michael and his staff.

I contacted Michael Chin for help with relocating with my daughter within Washington State. I have already been through a difficult divorce, which I did alone through DV issues. For this new case to move, I wanted to take the stress of court and filing out. Michael Chin and his team were exactl...y what I needed. He assesed my situation and provided a reasonable price for his services. I particularly like that when consulting with him directly, he had clarity and experience in his response. Helping me to make well informed decisions and less emotionally based ones. His staff has been courteous and responded quickly. Any questions I had or changes that were needed, were corrected immediately. My final result has been a stress free court experience. Without any escalation and resolved ontime for me to move with my daughter. Michael Chin and his staff are worth the time and money, and I would recommend them to anyone who was looking for assistance with family related court issues.

You are reading this because you are searching for a lawyer during a very difficult time. You didn’t think you’d be here in spending valuable time looking for a lawyer. You’re asking yourself, “Do I really need a lawyer; can’t I just do this myself?” The answer is that you could probably do this your...self but, you are likely to navigate these waters and incur damage that may adversely affect the rest of your life. Let’s face reality, you’re seeking the advice of an expert who has successfully navigated these waters before. Now, let’s settle on “Is this the right Attorney for me?” That is a question that can only be answered by you after you’ve had an initial consultation. You ask, “How can I make such an important decision in the initial consultation when he/she is taking up most of the time talking about how they’re the one I should select?” Great question! Come prepared with questions that are important to YOU and your particular circumstances. Why am I seeking a divorce? Am I and are my kids safe? Do I need a temporary restraining order? What will my living situation look like in the interim? What about spousal maintenance? What about child support? How long will this take? These are questions that can only be determined by you. I can only speak from my personal experience with Michael Chin and his Team. When I first reached out to Michael Chin’s Law Group, I was unsure. I was beyond discontent with my married relationship. I was wondering if I should be seeking legal counsel or continue with marriage counseling. Since I had already tried marriage counseling and it did not seem to resolve our “issues”, I was now seeking a Divorce Attorney. I had determined I would narrow my search to three attorneys that specialized in family law and specifically, divorce case law. On initial consultation, I was surprised that Michael listened more than he spoke. He seemed genuinely interested in my particular set of circumstances. He was careful to take notes and listened intently and asked confirming questions. He did NOT look at his watch and determine, “well our time is almost up and if it goes over, here is my fee schedule.” It was refreshingly unexpected. To some extent, Michael Chin is responsible for “selling” and securing his legal services. It would be easy for him to sell something that you don’t need. Instead, he consulted with me to understand what my needs were. He made suggestions and asked that I consider his professional guidance. He did not reveal his fee schedule until after I elected to use him after careful consideration of other qualified attorneys with expertise in divorce law. Ultimately, I selected Michael Chin’s Law Group because he was interested in me and not just another client to charge fees to. The Team at Michael Chin’s Law Group have been nothing less than phenomenal. The Team is what allows Michael to successfully navigate these sometimes-difficult waters. They have always been respectful and communicated well with my particular and difficult work schedule. I always understood that they had my best interest at heart and had difficult matters well under control. As a result of my experience with Michael Chin and his Team, I have developed a personal relationship and plan to utilize them exclusively for my future family law needs (i.e. estate planning, etc.). This is a difficult time for you, and I am truly sorry that you are in a difficult place. My hope is that you are able to eventually see beyond these uncertain times and benefit from someone who not only has expertise in these matters but , more importantly will truly take care of you, as well. I highly recommend Michael Chin and his Team!

There are no words to express how grateful our family and son are for the work Michael has done! After 2 long years battling a custody case for my grandbabies, we finally have peace of mind. My son’s case reached a point where it was chaotic and pretty much taking a toll on him. I started looking onl...ine for family law attorneys and thankfully, Michael was the first attorney to respond. From there, we were able to let go and let Michael take over. He did not just look for what my son was wanting out of this case but he looked beyond what was most important, our grandbabies. He sorted through the mess and chaos and started working through it. Michael was not only responsive, he was efficient and thorough. Michael’s team also played a big part in this in assisting my son and making sure that he also followed through with what was needed to ensure the successful outcome of his case. I highly recommend Michael and his team to anyone needing representation of an attorney. Thank you Michael Chin and your Team! May your work and family be blessed beyond measure! Thank you!
