    All I can say is that Chi Nguyen is a professional in the law that she practices. She is a good…read moreattorney, being business like and personable. I came to her on the advice of my daughter. I decided to give her a call and we set up an appointment, lucky for me that she happened to be in the office because she is usually in court representing her clients. I just read some reviews and I'm not sure why the one negative review because she treated me well. Chi is good at what she does and that is she represented me as a client in court, I didn't even have to be there. While speaking with her on the phone, I decided to retain her as an attorney on my case as she sounded professional and knowledgeable. I brought everything that she asked, looked them over and she told me everything up front---the costs and what to expect of the outcome. She is prompt and courteous and she did everything that she said that she would do. She always replied to my phone calls and text---depending on which we had agreed to and set up. She would let me know ahead of time if there were changes or anything else that would be involved. With Chi, everything was up front. She got my ticket dismissed and also refunded me like 90% of the fees that were refundable ( I think that it had something to do with administrative cost. I feel that Chi is an excellent attorney and with her you will know what to expect and what to expect of her. She is honest and did me a great service. And to the one star, no one asked me to write this and it isn't a fake.

    I am thoroughly disgusted with Attorney Chi Nguyen's lack of professionalism and communication…read more I found her through Yelp in July 2025 with glowing reviews. After a July 4th consultation, I hired her to handle my parenting plan matter (not my protection order, though she gave advice on that too). What followed was one of the worst professional experiences I've ever had. Here are the main issues: Never in court - She never once appeared in person, only via Zoom. We paid her the same as anyone else, yet she didn't show up physically. Unprofessional appearance - On Zoom, she dressed in casual T-shirts, not courtroom-appropriate attire. Paralegal overseas - The paralegal assigned to our case (Bernard) was working permanently out of the country. This made direct communication about our case nearly impossible. Bad legal advice & dishonesty - She advised my child to drop a protection order to "help" with a 50/50 parenting plan, then denied ever giving that advice in court. This damaged our case. Unprepared in court - Judges were visibly frustrated with her lack of preparation and awareness of required next steps. Communication failures - She ignored the client portal (where we receive notifications) and instead sent critical updates by regular email, which caused us to miss deadlines and hearings. Documents were submitted incorrectly and late, resulting in continuances, sanctions, and extra costs we had to pay ($700). Recent failure - For a GAL hearing, financial documents we sent in late August were submitted at the last minute. She failed to consult us on which GAL we preferred, leaving us blindsided in court. We left court feeling defeated every single time. Yesterday's hearing was the final straw--we fired her immediately. Hiring an attorney is stressful enough; you need someone professional, prepared, and communicative. Chi Nguyen was none of these. Do not hire her. I only gave 1 star because Yelp wouldn't let me submit my review without doing it.

    Emailed a few times, maybe 3 times, in regard to a refund on the remainder of a payment I made for…read moreservices not received. I was not rude in any of them but firm on wanting the refund and inquiring when that would be. Lance called me with reasons why I "disregarded" the agreement I signed. I said I want to know if I will be receiving a refund or not from the firm, otherwise, I would do my part on recovering the remainder of funds. He then states, "I guess this ends our working relationship, idk who else you'll complain to" I'm not sure why Lance felt comfortable enough to speak to me in this manner but I don't appreciate it and I would advise against hiring someone who is rude for no apparent reason. Do better, be kinder. *I would like to note this was a DV case*

    I took up a lawsuit at a DSHS facility regarding contaminated water from the original plaintiff who…read morehad died at that facility. I filed numerous motions in response to the defendant's briefs. Over the course of nearly five years I fought the state representing the facility and those in charge. The case was dismissed in District Court, I appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal and prevailed. The District Court granted my motion for appointment of counsel due to the fact that there were 216 plaintiffs and I could not represent them as a pro se litigant. The Hester Law Group volunteered to take the case and worked on our behalf for several more years. During that time I assisted whenever I could. I often mentioned to the attorneys at the Hester Law Group that as the named plaintiff and due to my years of work on this case, that if there was a monetary judgement in our favor, I requested that I receive one dollar, ($1), more than anyone else on this lawsuit. The case was eventually settled for $7.5 million. Hester Law Group received about $2.7 million and the rest was to be distributed among the remaining 206 plaintiffs. In the end, some plaintiffs received a third more than I was awarded and all they did was sign their name to the lawsuit. I devoted hundreds of hours on this case and spent money I could not afford to move it forward. Despite my often voiced request for $1 more than whomever received the most from the settlement, I ended up receiving less than most. Even though we were locked into a settlement formula by the state, the Hester Law Group could have easily dipped into their $2.7 million to address my reasonable request and could have found a way to compensate me as the named plaintiff for the years of work equal to the highest paid plaintiff. There would not have been a lawsuit or settlement without me. I feel that their response or lack thereof speak volumes to their integrity. I would not retain anyone evolved with the Hester Law Group if money is involved.
