Michael Spencer Chin

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.

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!

If it was possible to even give more then 5 stars I would!!!! From the very start, searched for a family law lawyer in the Snohomish county area, googled Michael and made the call. Knowing that this case was going to be rough my husband and I set up the FREE consultation. From the start we knew, that... Michael knew what he was talking about, from the way he listened and was able to explain how the law applied to our case. This was a back and fourth case for my husband, and definitely a headache of a case. Michael handled our case with extreme care, truthfully as if it was his own. I would spend every dime 10x over for Michael without a blink. We had a high litigation mediation, where Michael was able to get a 60/40 split parenting time!!! Which is more then we even expected. Then a back and fourth with dealing with a woman that just continued to make any attempt to keep the child away! Michael never gave up and kept supporting us and doing what he does best!!! Knowing the law and proceeding with the best representation that you can ask for. He doesn't just treat you like your another case, or more $$$, he genuinely cares about his clients. I would recommend Michael to ANYONE and EVERYONE. I have never slept so good knowing that he is on our side. I truly cant speak for others but I would say I feel sorry for whoever goes up against him, HE IS A TRUE work of MAGIC in court!!!
