Gross Negligence and Financial Devastation

My experience with Attorney Justin Chin was deeply disappointing and distressing. Throughout my divorce proceedings (file no. 2018CV307378), I encountered multiple instances of negligence and fraudulent conduct. Mr. Chin consistently avoided and deflected my requests, displaying a lack of accountabi...lity and transparency. There was a substantial mishandling of escrow funds, with $$$, unaccounted for in the escrow account calculation, and a refusal to produce documentation regarding disbursements. Furthermore, I felt coerced, manipulated, and extorted for Mr. Chin's personal gain. Despite my financial vulnerability and inability to pay rent without agreed-upon assistance, Mr. Chin withheld my rent check and disregarded my concerns, prioritizing his own agenda. His representation lacked fidelity, marked by falsehoods, malicious delays, and unnecessary case extensions. The final decree presented to the court contained gross errors that did not align with the judge's decree during trial. Mr. Chin's response to my concerns was dismissive, stating we would appeal, yet for a year, I was misled about the progress. The appeal was eventually dismissed in February 2023, while Mr. Chin accumulated charges through unproductive meetings without updates on the appeal status. In September 23, 2023, Mr. Chin sent a Settlement Agreement and Release, which I amended; however, he disagreed and voided the agreement, cutting off communication since then. This situation left me in a dire financial state, impacting custody of my minor son and resulting in homelessness for my daughter and me during the pandemic. Despite a 14-year marriage and substantial assets, including multiple properties and significant liquid funds at separation, Mr. Chin's neglectful handling left us in an unimaginable situation. text: 929-206-8850
