Michael Spencer Chin

We have used Micheal two times and have referred him to another friend, who also hired him and won full custody of his kids. Micheal does his homework- he is very thorough and communicative and he preforms well in court. The last hearing we didn't say a word. We will continue to use Micheal and his w...ealth of knowlegde personally and refer to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Michael helped me with both my pre-marital agreement and my divorce settlement. He and his staff were available to me during some of the most difficult times and for that I am grateful. Michael is a kind, caring professional who is as "real" as lawyers come and make you feel at ease. I'd recommend Mi...chael highly and without any reservation

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!

Michael represented me in a divorce case which included a trial for custody and child support. Michael was patient in explaining processes, plans, steps, reasoning, and details and worked WITH me to get the best Parenting Plan and Child Support Order to fit mine and my child's needs. Michael and his ...staff treated me with patience and compassion during a very difficult time. His rates are reasonable and in accordance with the service I received. Through this attorney, I had a successful trial and was able to keep the majority custody of my child. I would hire him again for future legal purposes. Job well done!

Michael was incredibly helpful with helping me plan my out of state relocation with regards to parenting plan. I have a lot of respect for anyone that isn't all about the money in their profession. I imagine that there are many lawyers that would've just wanted to take as much as they can from their ...clients. Not once did Michael give me that impression. I also didn't imagine someone as positive and enthusiastic as Michael in family law. Thank you sir.
