Awesome Experience

Mr Chin responded to my request within 5 minutes of reaching out to him. No secretary or third party, but he called me himself. After a lengthy discussion, I provided all documentation/evidence that I had for my upcoming case. He reviewed everything and called me the following day to discuss whethe...r we had a viable case or not. We then discussed the fees and a plan to execute. Being a black working father in America, I took the initiative to fight for my son the way that I knew would be most sucessful. In the past I tried fighting on my own but came to terms that I needed help this time around. I was able to make payments and we spoke as often as needed leading up to the court date. Communication was no issue. Understand that I contacted many lawyers and they were more concerned about being paid than caring about my case. Mr. Chin showed up and we ended up winning this custody battle that has been going on for about 3 years now. From here on Mr. Chin will always have me as a client.

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.

Great lawyer

Justin helped me gain custody of my 9 year old daughter which is very hard for a father to receive custody in Georgia. I really appreciate his hard work.

Vince, wow. Thank you for the review. That is an understatement. You are an amazing Father and all the best with your daughter. Justin

Full custody father case

I like Justin’s response time from the time I reached to retain him to each individual time through the case when I had questions. Once I provide him with all the information needed he delivered it in court in a strategic manner that was beneficial. I commend him for taking on a case where he normall...y would represent the mother. He did very well for representing me as a father.
