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.

She called me back herself, (not an assistant) and during our phone consultation she took the time, was patient with me & answered all of my questions (some don't- trust me! ) I knew right away she was going to be great. She took the stress out of the entire situation for us. She was always quick to respond to emails, she did what she said she was going to do, she did things in a timely manner & she was sure to check with us on important details, exploring every option with us, before making any decisions. In the end, the outcome was better than we thought possible. We couldn't be happier with our choice and I would definitely use her again. I'd recommend Shay in a heartbeat to any friend of mine looking for a family law attorney.

I hired Brandon Stevens for a K-1 fiancé visa petition, and I was referred to him by my co-worker…read morewho is also processing the same petition. After I paid him the full amount for the service, I noticed that he began being reluctant in answering my calls and avoiding me by always using the excuse of being busy. He did not assist me in finding the right psychologist for a prior conviction that I had expunged through the court in the past, but an evaluation from the psychologist was necessary for a K-1 petition. He did nothing for my case, but gathered all my documents and submitted it to USCIS, which ended up in a denial. If you are looking for an immigration attorney with a prior conviction, I do not recommend Brandon Stevens, as he is not very experienced with immigration law. Don't waste your money with this lawyer as he is not good to handle complicated immigration processes which requires many years of experience.

First of all. Lori Saxion was recommended to me by a person who used her office for her daughters…read moredivorce. I needed a divorce attorney so because she was recommended , I hired this attorney. My first complaint was that Ms Saxion wrote in the divorce decree that "my husband can take over the debt he accumulated while we where married". And all Joint accounts....Guess what?????This isn't possible, I felt she should have known that. It caused me a lot of grief and sleepless nights. It's been 4 years but hard to forget this difficult time in my life that she added to. Also Ms. Saxion did not show up to one of my scheduled court dates. Like I said my divorce was relatively easy compared to some, but Ms Saxion made it difficult and more stressful than it should have been. I cannot recommend this family attorney.

I know it was my fault for not keeping the end of my bargain as agreed. But nonetheless, I want to thank Atty.Chillquist for all the hardwork that he did for my case. This is the only way I can repay all the good things he did for me is to inform all of you how good of a family law lawyer he is.

I really can't say enough about Clement Law Center. Specifically Desmond Kolke and Melinda Luna…read more We've worked with the firm in the past when Kristina Gibbs Ruby was part of the staff and she was amazing. After a few years we revisited Clement law center and unfortunately she was no longer part of the team but did refer us to Des Kolke who has been absolutely fantastic. His paralegal Melinda Luna is equally as great if not better. Yes, it's spendy but is it worth it? YES. Des Kolke has been in the game for over 30 yrs and definitely knows what he's talking about. He will cut the shit and tell you if you have enough or not for your case to proceed. At least this way you have piece of mind to know your money is not being wasted. We will never use another attorney again, and I'm sure we'll always have adequate causes to keep him on retainer!

Not worth it. Des just does not work with the client. The…read moreworst. Divorce from 2020-2022 finalized in 2024 when I walked away from it all. Good luck and I hope this helps you. Grant it I've only been divorced once but I don't think it could have gone any worse. Desmond is not someone I would recommend to represent as an attorney for a divorce. I am a male and my experience with him was pathetic at best. A couple dozen of unanswered emails, and unused pertinent information that would have been beneficial to my case. Failed to send me a zoom meeting for a pre-trial. Calls me while I am on vacation and asks if I were going to join the meeting. I had to rush to my hotel and join the zoom meeting. His paralegal even charged me a small amount when she needed to review my case when they decided to change paralegals on me. The OC sent an email to Des explaining to him that I need to stay out of the home of my ex, that is her primary residence. I explained that I had not been in her residence for two months. They sent the letter two months later, the next thing I know we are in trial and I am ordered to pay $1500 of my exes lawyer fees because I had not stayed out of her house. They had zero proof of me being in her house subsequent to the first or second letter sent to Des. Des just did not look at the evidence and the lack thereof evidence to defend me. Des told me that was his fault and it was his responsibility to contact OC. Des never contacted OC. I wanted to have GAL or counselor to talk to my kids about the living situation, the OC opposed it and Des did not fight for the GAL or a counselor. He gave up and let the ex win that request. Even the Judge called out the fact that no GAL or counselor was used and he has nothing to go on from the children's perspective. I provided Des information about how my kids felt regarding the living situation, Des did not use it. It fell on def ears again. I was forced to get a CMA for my home, Des never used it as an exhibit and used a made up value of my home that he submitted a value to OC and to the courts resulting in $45K more than the value of my home. I asked for a mistrial, he never pursued it. Had multiple reschedules and when I asked Des, he said it was the OC requesting the rescheduling. I reached out to my ex asking why is her lawyer making all these reschedules, she informed me that it was my lawyer. In my opinion, they were working together to gather as much money from "us" as they could. I wish I would had fired him. I spent around $60k on my divorce only to be told by Des, in my 25years, that was the second worse ruling I've ever had. I had to ask for pre-trial conference with Des after our first trial date. Des was totally unprepared for my case. Had he used the information from the emails I sent him, things would have turned out better for me. I feel Des has become complacent in the divorce world for men and doesn't really care. He got his $60K (ish) from me and moved on. Months later I did receive an email or phone call stating that the judge Leroy McCollough and or his bailiff failed to send Des the final judgement / ruling and it was way past the appeal date. Maybe true, but I have my doubts because of past behavior. He said he would still try and appeal it for me. He did try, cost me another $1700 for their time. I did back out of the appeal, I felt I would have lost even more. He is good at knowing the law, he is good talker, I believe it may have been an hour of free phone call time during the almost 2 year divorce process. Des is a nice guy, he just lost his passion. The one thing I remember most about why I would never recommend him as a divorce lawyer to anyone that outweighs all the above.. My daughter wrote him a letter to be read in the courts and used as an exhibit (I never read the letter), well, he lost the letter that she wrote. Rick S
