Justin Allen Chin

My first engagement with Mr. Chin was on Thumbtack. He contacted me immediately and began working out the details for my case. He not only did he obtain the information about my case but also information about me personally. He worked my case and we were victorious in the courtroom. Two years later,... we communicate and that is the coolest part!

I hired this person to handle a very sensitive case. He first stated that he would help me, that he was passionate about helping women and children and that he would get started on my case for a payment of $1500 with an agreement that I would pay the remainder within about a week or so of the first ...payment. That did not happen. He made excuses and delayed until the entire payment was made. He claims that he does not charge for phone calls or emails with his clients and wants to keep costs low but has not refunded any of my money. He spent an unbelievable amount of time asking me questions and I answered them, sent over paperwork, only to have him then ask me how I thought we should proceed. He is the lawyer and I hired him for that purpose because I do not know the law...if I did I would not need an attorney. He supposedly had requested help from an associate about my case and then sent over that person's questions to me and assured me that they were coming up with a strategy for my case. It took him almost two weeks to file my paperwork for the motion that he suggested, he claimed that he had dropped it off, but it is my belief that he simply mailed the paperwork because he was not in the state at the time I needed the filing completed. This would not have bothered me had he told me upfront that he was in another state. I provided this attorney with recordings, text messages and videos that would have shed light on my case and proven my case and he never used them. He knew that I would face a contempt charge, but stood shaking like a leaf in court, stuttering and stumbling over his words and when I asked him to admit the proof to the court while I was on the stand, he ignored me and said that he was finished presenting. I have copies of the transcripts of my hearing and he did absolutely nothing to help me. He did not earn one red cent of the money that was wasted on him and he did not do background information on my case which cause both him and me to look foolish. That coupled with all of the bad advice that he gave, caused me to suffer. I would never hire this person again and you better be careful, because if your case is complicated and serious, he will ruin it.

I never had any services done. I paid a $514 deposit and decided based on the lack of communication from the paralegal not to move forward with any work. I never signed any thing and I never did anything outside of speaking to the lawyer about my case. After deciding that the communication was awful ...and I never got a follow up after 2 weeks and paying a deposit I asked for a refund and Justin would not refund my money although he did no work. I tried to dispute it on pay pal and they favored him b/c claimed he has a no refund policy and that I signed a contract. I NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING WITH HIM. I only spoke to him and paid the invoice to secure my space in his que of people. He said he makes the clients that leave a deposit a priority and will begin starting the process if I left a deposit. I was told something would begin that day and Nothing was done in the 2 weeks I emailed him and his paralegal so I was merited a refund for his lack of follow up and no refund policy was never mentioned or listed if I got no work done. Do not trust the name...it does not reflect honesty and integrity knowing I had NO WORK done.
