Horrible

I went to the courthouse today to get a final copy of my child support order only to be told my case was dismissed and a order was never received. What did I pay $2500 for?????? Justin failed to show up as an attorney on my behalf after I paid a hefty retainer fee. I retained Justin in October of 202...1 it is now December 2023 and nothing was accomplished on my end. My case has been dragging for 2 years. Every time I had court Justin had an emergency hearing with another client. It was so difficult getting the opposing party served. Let's not mention the fact that all you get is excuses when you question him about something or a let me check on that and I'll get back to you. I can never get a direct answer as to why it's talking so long with my case. It seems like after Justin received payment from me he dropped the ball on my case.

Great Job

Justin was able to resolve my legitimation case in five months from start to finish. Justin won’t sit on a case without a settlement offer in the other side’s hands at all times. My ex was started with an offer giving me supervised visitation and I have been way more participatory in my son’s lif...e than the average Dad, taking off work to accommodate my Ex’s schedule to help my Son. The final settlement was exactly what I would get in court without paying the expense to go to court. Justin kept pushing the mediator to get me what I should get but won’t make someone settle either.

No Help at all

I hired Mr. Chin to help me with my divorce. I had just moved to Georgia and was trying to get divorced from my husband who lived in Louisiana. Mr. Chin allowed me to pay $1200.00 and failed to mention he had no jurisdiction in the state of Louisiana. I then paid another $360.00 of money I did not ha...ve due to being strong armed by my husband. He took this money and I stood in court alone and represented myself. When I asked him to refund my money he ghosted me and I still have yet to be paid back. Countless calls, emails, and voicemails where left for Justin Chin and his paralegal Ashley McClure and yet neither of them has gotten back with me. SHAMEFUL!!!

He knows nothing about being a lawyer

This guy completely failed me to in trial. First, he had months to work on my exhibit and case, but he waited until the night before trial to file them. Second, he actually filed on the morning of court on the last court appear prior to this one. He is not an attorney you want fighting for your child.... This man watched the other party go through their exhibits in trial and I begged him to go through mine to show the evidence and proof and he did not walk through my exhibits which caused me to lose because everything was delivered last minute and they didn’t look at my evidence. I was texting him during the virtual begging him to ask the other party certain questions and he did not ask not one question. The man grilled me harder than he grilled the other party. It’s almost like someone made a bet with him to be a lawyer and he did. I have had 3 other attorneys tell me that a lot of his clients fire him because they realize how much money was wasted on him to lose their case.
