    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.

    Out of 100 lawyers, I was able to retain her, and she was knowledgeable and showed genuine concern,…read moreand we haven't even started our partnership.

    Let me ask you. Could you live in Seattle in a comfortable apartment or house on $1,530 a month???…read moreNo way. But Tom Atwood put a plan for me together to do just that. What it means is, I have to embrace my poverty. Girls say, "I don't talk to broke!" and I am cool with that. I cannot have any credit any more. Mr. Atwood put a plan together for me that forgives all my credit debt (believe me, they have billions $$$) and allows for me to live indoors with minimal supplies. Mr. Atwood is an expert in this. I had no other choice in my transition to full time work as a chef than to a disabled veteran on less than half what I was making before. Chapter 13 bankruptcy makes sense rather than blowing off your creditors, because Chapter 13 show that you care enough to avoid the wolf creditors while being immune from collections under section 207 of the social security act. This means I will probably never be laid again, and I am cool with that. I love my private, boring life without a car, but I do have 100% coverage medical through the Veteran's administration. I realize that American women today won't talk to broke, and that's fine. A lot less to worry about. Mr. Atwood in specializes in putting plans for you that invalidate most debts and allows you to live without that heavy monkey on your back, with six different due dates and 28% interest. No more, I said, I want something with real teeth that will keep the wolf from my door, and I did it with Thomas Atwood, Attorney, who specializes in bankruptcy options. Much better options than just abandoning your accounts to collection agencies. BK chapter 7 or 13 has real teeth which prevents creditors from garnishing your paycheck or SSDI benefits, the latter of which is guaranteed with or without a bankruptcy. Trust Tom Atwood to advise you correctly and what is the best path to take. Top rated. A ++++

    We interviewed two other bankruptcy attorneys before deciding to use Thomas Atwood. He returned…read moreour calls more quickly, and the initial interview gave us many answers we needed without any pressure. He has two offices (one in Issaquah and one in Shoreline) which was very convenient. He also is prompt in answering email queries which was very helpful. He was always generous with time and information (despite a flat fee for service), and everything went smoothly. He always prepared us accurately and appropriately which was very reassuring. We had personal setbacks that delayed the process, but he never questioned us. We had business losses, lawsuits, and job changes during the process, and he managed it all seamlessly which was very comforting during a time of great stress. We (my husband and I) would highly recommend him to others. Best wishes to you if you are considering bankruptcy.
