He did nothing for my case for months then when I started to inquire about any progress he gave me excuses and then sent me a large bill for services that went against our original agreement. I didn't pay and fired him and he was refusing to be fired. Unre...

Herbert J. Tan is unreliable attorney. He could not even serve subpoena to corporation. Because of his mistake, my case was dismissed and he did not even inform me of this court decision. He had charged nonrefundable fee and did not do any work towards my case. I would not recommend this attorney ...

Herbert’s comment:
“These disciplinary matters (NJ and DC) arise out of the same incident. With that said, the statement regarding my undergraduate studies was based upon the need to care for my wife and young daughter. My dedication to protecting the rights of employees for the past decade, should also be given consideration.”
