Posted by Todd | July 31, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

We won!!

I hired Justin to get custody back of my girlfriend's child.  At the first court hearing the opposing party didn't have a lawyer and since Justin threatened him he hired Stearns & Montgomery. We had a second court hearing where they did not show up and Justin threatened them for not following procedu...ral rules. At our third hearing, we got custody back and opposing counsel walked out of the courtroom furiously calling Justin a "sh %^*#" lawyer. It took a little while with the pandemic but follow all the instructions your lawyer gives you and don't give up!!   So happy my girlfriend has custody of her daughter back in time for school this fall! Thanks so much Justin!!

Extremely professional lawyer that gets the job done!

I hired Justin in October and he settled my custody case in seven months in the pandemic. Through mediation Justin and Kara got me primary custody of my two children and all decision making authority. Child support will be decided in court because he didn’t force my hand to settle at a number I was u...ncomfortable at. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Justin for your case. He makes things clear, cut and to the point!

Do not hire this guy to do your taxes

I hired Mr. Justin chin 6 years ago to do my taxes. The first two years he came to my house and he did my taxes with no problem and I paid him in full. The third-year I went to his home and dropped off my papers so he could do my taxes he filed an extension and my taxes were not done for a year after... I give him all my papers. Finally, he did my taxes and I paid him in full. In my fourth and fifty years, which was 2019-2020 I give all my papers bank statement everything that he needed one year before my taxes were due. As usual, Mr. Chin file an extension and didn't do my taxes for the year of 2019 until just a couple of weeks ago after I threatened him that I will file a complaint with the Florida State Bar because he hasn't done my taxes either for 2019 or 2020 and here we are April of 2021. Every single time when Mr. Chen did my taxes I paid him in full. Because he didn't do my taxes for 2019 and 2020 I give him a $100 down payment so he can finish my taxes and I told him that I will give him the remainder of the $300 when he finish my taxes. He never finished my 2020 taxes and he only finished the 2019 2 and 1/2 years after the papers were given to him. I did not want to do a review on Mr. Chen due to the fact the first 3 years I didn't have any issues until he decided that he wants to do people's taxes in his timeframe not when they are due. As a result of this, I am concerned about my stimulus check in conjunction together buying a house or a car because my taxes are not done even now. Mr. Chen might say that I might owe him money and this is absolutely a lie. I have paid him for every single year that he has done my taxes and the only reason I didn't pay him because he didn't finish the 2020 tax and he was late 2 and 1/2 years on the 2019 taxes. I might consider reevaluating Mr. Chen and his work and maybe change my review on him only if he decides that he will do people's taxes on time without filing extension which is doing nothing but causing issues and problems for me including with my Obamacare. As of right now, I am giving Mr. Chin 1 * very poor work this past 2 years of not doing my taxes leaving me out there while I needed my taxes this year more than anything else because I wanted to purchase a house and a car. This is not the way to do business with people when the papers are surrendered together with the bank statements the taxes are supposed to due on time not filing extensions and doing it whenever you feel like doing it.

Mr. CHIN of Chin Family Law, is Professional, Passionate, and Determined. Thank You Sir This is just a little insight on my situation TPO / DIVORCE On October 30th I was served with a TPO from my wife of 11 years., it turned my world upside down, I literally didn't know what the hell was goi...ng on, when the sheriff came to my home where I pay all the Bills down to the smallest bill., to remove me from my home for 1 month., For the 1st time in my life I had NO rights for the things I work so hard for including my kids, I was really upset and confused., My wife the petitioner soon to be Ex. told some outrageous lies to the Cobb County Courts. I wasted no time looking for legal representation., Just like you, I was searching through Google, reading reviews, trying to find good representation at a good price., After hours of searching, getting quotes and making calls, I found MR. CHIN on this site around 4am it showed he was Online, I started texting and sending messages and asking questions he responded right away., He gave me a lot of insight on the TPO matter and filing for divorce, which I already had plans to do. and ways we can approach this matter. I paid my Retainer in full., did all the paperwork Mr. Chin requested from me and in 3 days of me being removed from home my divorce request was filed and was being served., My court date for TPO hearing was on NOV. 24, 2 days ago., Mr. CHIN presented evidence in my case I submitted., my wife (the petitioner tried to reschedule after viewing evidence she knew she could be in trouble)., The Judge DISMISSED the case. I can now go back home and also have communications with my kids. Thank you Mr. Chin for everything Sir.

Contested divorce

Justin is my 2nd attorney for my divorce and he has been a breath of fresh air compared to the previous attorney. His professionalism, insight about custody law, and character have far surpassed my expectations and we have not made it to court yet. I feel that his representation is what I need to ac...hieve the desired outcome for my divorce.
