Excellent representation

Justin Chin is a great lawyer, he thoroughly helped me in a complex stressful Juvenile Dependency case Involving DFCS and get satisfactory results! He’s kind and knows his knowledge of the law. Thank you Justin for helping get the satisfactory results out of our complicated situation and not allowing... the system to screw us over any longer!

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.

You do not want him....

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.

Bad experience

I hired Justin for a misdemeanor Case and we went to trial and was murdered.He seem content with making friends and speaking to people around the court house.Its obviously from the reviews he’s more of a family Lawer because he seemed extremely lost during my trial.I would not advise anyone to hire ...him for a criminal trial.

That is not true. You did not pay your balance for services so you resorted to posting this review to escape your contract.
