Mr. Chung handled an appeal for me against the telemarketing industry and a judge who seemed to me had a vendetta against me. I found Edward to be very knowledgeable, explained things well, and he handled a legal situation other lawyers would not touch. And we won big!

"Ed is bright, persistent and understands the complexities surrounding business law. I endorse this lawyer."
"I happily refer clients to Mr. Chung who have criminal defense issues. I have had two clients in the past year who used Mr. Chung's services and were exonerated. They were happy with his work, his pricing, and, most importantly, his results."
"I endorse this lawyer. Edward is an excellent civil trial lawyer. I have personally observed him handling a case and can attest that he does a great job. I would definitely recommend him in the area of civil litigation."
"Mr. Chung has been a great mentor and one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Seattle. Mr. Chung is capable of solving even the most complex cases and negotiate best outcomes for our clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Chung is an outstanding attorney with an exceptional reputation. He is a strong and zealous advocate for his clients. I highly recommend Mr. Chung's legal services."
"I have known Mr. Chung for several years and worked closely with him on various litigation matters and believe him to be an exceptional litigator attorney who advocate for his clients. I strongly recommend this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer and approve of his work ethic, integrity and skill. I have seen his work and approve of it."
"If you have a complex legal problem that requires a practical and efficient resolution, Edward is your man. He brings a myriad of skills to the table and is also a seasoned litigator. If there is a way to solve your problem and avoid extensive litigation, Edward will find a way to get you from point A to point B. If, however, litigation is required, he is skilled trial attorney who will fight for your rights at trial. The best thing that I can say about Edward is that he achieves optimum results in whatever way the problem presented requires. Whether you have a simple dispute or are facing a multi-million dollar problem, Edward is a skilled advocate in whom you can put your faith and trust."
