Family Law Review

I had an excellent experience working with Chi on my family law matter. From start to finish, she was professional, responsive, and supportive. My case involved a high-conflict situation, but Chi remained strategic and calm throughout the entire process and guided me every step of the way. Thanks to ...her knowledge and advocacy, the case was resolved in our favor. I truly appreciated her clear communication and dedication, and I always felt confident knowing she was handling my case. I would highly recommend Chi to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable family law attorney.

Easy and Painless

Easy and Painless process here! Chi was great through the whole process! Answered any and all questions! Provided her with all my paperwork quickly and I was discharged within a few months of starting! Will recommend to any one.

She gets the job done!

She's simply awesome! I started a process with a different lawyer over a year ago. It kept getting pushed back and back. I consulted with regarding my issue and she took care of it with two weeks. Very knowledgeable and takes to time to explain things to you so you can make an informed decision.

Moving Violation

I'm usually a very patience driver. However, being late to my appointment got the best of me. I got a speeding tickets last month and I reached out Diem-Chi Nguyen to defend for me! I would highly recommend Diem-Chi Nguyen. Her fees is very competitive and their communication and service is even... better. Everything can be organized through email, so it is quick and convenient I recommend Diem-Chi Nguyen for all of your traffic ticket needs! She is great at what she does!!! Thank you for your help!

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.
