No representation

Hi hired Mr. Nguyen to handle my employment pre-hearing issues on a demotion. It was a wrongful demotion. Mr. Nguyen initially showed some interest in my case however, after he got paid I could not reach him on the phone for several days. When he returned he decide to call me. Even thought, I wante...d to cancel my services with him I new I will lose the money I paid him ($1,500.00 for a hearing that was less than an hour). I was hopping to talk to him before the pre-hearing. However, a few minutes before the hearing he asked me what I will be willing to settle with if they make an offer. I was shocked he waited to the last minute to address the issues when he knew the date of my pre-hearing. But to compound the issues I had to do all the talking during the pre-hearing and he didn't say a single word. He wanted me to hire him for the hearing but I could not. I don't think he's a bad person or attorney however, he shouldn't take a case he does not have any interest in. My evaluation is not base on his professional abilities since it was not demonstrated during my case therefore, I don't know if he's a capable attorney.

Linh is in it to nguyen it

While other attorneys wouldn't give me the time of day, and were cherry picking cases, Linh promptly returned my call within 20 minutes. This man went out of his way for me on his day off, and gave me a free consultation. He informed me that my case appeared strong, and took it on a contingency. He p...romptly returns all inquiries the same day. He has a professional demeanor, and the resume to back his statements up. He is a respected legal professional. If you have an employment case, or suspect you do, I have great confidence that his demeanor alone can set your employer and their attorney. straight. I recommend this attorney.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
