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.

I first went to Chi because she was referred to by a friend. However, my experience with her was…read morenot great at all. I contacted her around September to handle my case, and from time to time I asked her for updates in which she gave me very basic information. One day the DOL sends me a notice that my drivers license has been suspended because of failure to notice the court of my options. Mind you, this is something that is completely done by the lawyer. I message Chi, and she started to blame the court about how ridiculous they were, but in reality she should've kept status on my case. It's clear Chi treats each case as a $$ bag and doesn't care to check up on the status of her clients cases. As a result, this lead my insurance going up because Chi was unable to keep up with my case. Why would I go to a lawyer just to have my insurance go up....... and having to deal with that.??? Although she helped me with my ticket It's clear she doesn't value her customers and her replies are just straight up unprofessional at times. I wouldn't recommend her and steer away, there are other lawyers. A

Over the course of my case there was a dramatic change of communication from good to sub par to…read morenonexistent. It seems as if they are either understaffed or overbooked. Beverly did not once reply to an email, her assistants, Ann and Kiss'Shonna seemed to play hot potato with my case, had little knowledge concerning a divorce that involved children and a business, they do not prioritize customer satisfaction or peace of mind. My experience with this firm has left me feeling taken advantage of, ashamed as a father, and failed husband, and now due to the poor level of representation I chose, will end up seeing my son even less and paying off debt for years to come. The billing department does not reply to emails either. Dont bother trying to call anyone once you are a client, as that is near impossible to get ahold of someone without 10 minutes of hold music, and then a message saying to leave your name and someone will get back to you, if not call back in 10 minutes, over and over. Be careful you who trust in helping you with your case, do several consults with different firms/lawyers before you make a choice.

Roger Schweinler and his paralegals were very considerate of my limited funds and did not suggest frivolous things to run up my bill like the attorney I had before did. Communication was almost exclusively through his very competent paralegals which kept attorney fees low, and he did his job so I didn't have to worry. I ran out of money with my first attorney, so I thought I would finish out the divorce on my own. That was until my ex filed a motion to modify temporary child and spousal support orders. I was able to gather enough money to hire Roger Schweinler who went to that hearing and won it for me so everything stayed the same and my ex had to pay attorney fees for that hearing! As time went on, my ex came around and we were able to come to an agreement on final orders without having it go to trial or even mediation! Roger Schweinler and Kyra Warner finished up all the paperwork and it was done! Thank you guys so much!

During the process I also worked with Carly and Cathy, who are also fantastic and helpful in every way.

This review is specifically for Chelsea Miller and her assistant, Dara Tremblay at Blado Kiger…read moreBolan. I have previously had poor experiences with family law lawyers that led me to be wary of them moving forward. Now, years later, I found I needed legal help for a contentious parenting plan modification. Ms. Miller was recommended to me by someone else and I approached with caution. However, she immediately allayed my fears with extraordinary professionalism. She is blunt in the best way possible - cutting to the immediate issue with an immense amount of family law expertise to back her up. When I arrived for my initial consultation, she came prepared by having already read through the basics of my case online. She listened intently and asked specific questions and was honest with her opinions. While she takes a measured personal approach, she is fierce in the defense of her clients once a course of action has been plotted. She doesn't resort to cheap tactics or emotional fluff because she doesn't need to; she has the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve her goals and doesn't want to waste her client's precious time or the court's time. Ms. Miller and Ms. Tremblay are responsive and I've never felt ignored by either of them. She is personable and attentive. My case is not yet completely resolved but, whichever way it goes, I already know that I made the best choice for legal representation possible.

They made a difficult chapter of my life easier to navigate, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone who needs knowledgeable and dedicated legal representation. Thank you both for your outstanding work!

Jason understood the dynamics of my high‑conflict situation immediately, without me needing to over‑explain. He listened to what I wanted, helped me stay grounded in realistic expectations, and approached everything with proactive professionalism and care. Donna was just as exceptional, organized, communicative, and consistently on top of every detail. I had already completed a DVPO and renewal earlier in my case, and Jason and Donna stepped in and truly strengthened and protected my position during the divorce process. Their dedication made an enormous difference, and I'm genuinely grateful for their support. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs strong, reliable, and compassionate representation.

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.

She is competent, efficient, works amazingly quickly, and produces high-quality work. In the courtroom, she was absolutely relentless, but in a polite and professional way. She anticipated and came prepared for everything thrown our way, whether it was mudslinging from the opposing side or circumstances out of our control. She memorized the content of thousands of pages worth of evidence, and during the two weeks of trial, she would bring up example after example in rapid-fire succession. It was truly impressive. Her years of experience with the Tacoma courts and her knowledge of local cases both past and ongoing have been vital as she has been navigating my case through one complication after another for the past 20 months. Lindsay works with an incredible team at McKinley Irvin in Tacoma. I especially want to thank her paralegal Jacquelynn Chaffee for her competence, responsiveness, and hard work, consistently done on time with a smile and that rogue twinkle in her eye. I also want to thank Lindsay Noel for her warmth and her indefatigable sleuthing, which was absolutely invaluable.
