Justin Allen Chin

Justin is currently representing me in my divorce proceedings and he has consistently been caring, attentive, detail-oriented representation. After having put my faith in and invested my time and resources in other attorneys who regarded my case as little more than a quick payday, I have been very gl...ad to have Justin in my corner tirelessly advocating on behalf of me and my children.

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.

I usually don't write reviews but I felt it necessary and worth while after receiving such a great experience in an otherwise awful circumstance. Im a single father who wanted to file for a child support modification/ parenting plan revision. This was not the first time dealing with lawyer's for t...his matter and in the past it had not been the greatest outcome, so I was skeptical. I reviewed several lawyers' review sites and met with one (who I was very impressed with) but quite frankly could not afford. Then I met Justin. To be honest, it was Justin's lower fees that initially caught my eye. I had reservations working with him for this reason since in the past Ive thought "you get what you pay for. High priced lawyer= Best outcome" What I would like to say about Justin & Ashley, his paralegal, is that they showed me more professionalism and courtesy than any other attorney I had dealt with prior. My last attorney, who was much more costly, would rarely return calls and I always felt our interactions were rushed. Justin even followed up once a week to simply touch base in case I had further concerns or unanswered questions. As a father I had lots of preconceived notions from my past attorney who warned that "father's need to be grateful for anything they get". Justin was optimistic but more important realistic and didn't get my hopes up. He followed through with what he said he would do when he said he would do it. In the end we got the best possible outcome for my situation and on a personal note he didn't get unprofessional and try to smear my son's mother, or turn us against each other which showed a level of compassion that ultimately left me feeling good about our case. Im glad I took a chance on the "little guy", his expertise and empathy has given my son and I an amazing opportunity.
