I initially had a positive impression of this firm. My consultation with Mr. Chiao went well. He…read moreclearly explained my legal options, came across as warm and earnest, and made me feel comfortable retaining the firm. Unfortunately, once my case began, serious organizational and communication issues emerged. Although the complaint itself was well written, it was filed with the wrong court and contained an incorrect address. I was never informed of this mistake and had to discover it on my own. Correcting the issue required a change of venue, which cost me significant time and money for an error that was not mine. Communication throughout the case was inconsistent. At times, staff were responsive and reassuring; at other times, follow-up emails went unanswered and seemed to fall through the cracks. When I informed the firm that the opposing party was making threatening communications, my concerns did not appear to be taken seriously. After deciding to retain new counsel, I was surprised by how aggressively this firm interacted with my new attorney during the transition. Even more concerning, when my case files were transferred, I was mistakenly sent documents belonging to a different client. This raised serious concerns about their internal controls and confidentiality practices. I was also charged approximately $600 for work the firm claimed had been completed but which was never included in the file transfer. When I requested a refund, I was told the work had been done and that I would need to absorb the cost, despite having to pay my new attorney to redo it. Overall, this firm's lack of organization and efficiency ended up costing me more time, money, and stress than necessary. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend shopping around for other firms, even if they are located outside the Pasadena area.

I found Moryah in Yelp and she caught my eye because she was the only posting with straight 5 stars…read morewith tons of reviews. I was a bit skeptical but I thought giving it a try anyways and contacted her and left her a detailed voicemail. She replied promptly with more and useful information of what I had asked for and even a few steps forward giving me a panoramic view and timeline of what the whole process would be and cost. I called her back with a couple of Q/A and then I decided this was the person I was looking for. Straight to the point, no nonsense, extremely patient dealing with someone new in the process, she was very thorough, kind and knowledgeable plus her prices were extremely reasonable. Everyone I spoke before her while looking for help, would either, call me back a few hours or days later, answer my questions with two or three words and make you feel you were wasting their time. Moryah was a very pleasant and refreshing breeze of fresh air in this research process. Once I started working with her, everything went exactly as she had described it to me before except for a few mistakes I did but again she graciously and with so much patience accepted to deal with them without making you feel guilty, while at the same time, she was going through a very personal and painful family member loss. This might sound corky but I honestly felt she was the light at the end of the tunnel that gives you hope and motivation to keep going towards the end. I highly recommend her as a professional plus she is an exceptional human being.

I've been working with Greg for over a year and im sure there are times where he's thought about dropping me, but I'm extremely grateful to have met someone who refuses to give up on me. I haven't told greg this but on top of my current life challenges, i also struggle with an unhealthy level of anxiety in addition to some other cognitive challenges that i can do nothing about. I don't like to talk about them because it makes me feel weak so i just try to power through them. But I don't always do the best job of powering through them. I get stuck and have to dig my way out of these mental downward spirals and its hard. Because I can't help it, it's nice to work with someone who gives cares well beyond the money.

I needed a good lawyer for my contentious divorce and Stephen was my number one pick based off reviews and after our consult, I knew I wanted him on my side. I liked how he was straight to the point but also offered compassion and words of encouragement when things got tough. He even told me how I should compile discovery to make it less work for him and ultimately less expensive and I really appreciated that. His billing was extremely fair for his level of work and he didn't nickel and dime everything. He also took us down the path of least resistance and most cost effective. I never had to initiate anything or reach out asking for updates because he was always on the ball and has lightening fast response times. He did everything he could to keep me out of court and he not only did that but we settled on a number that was below my max. I'm forever grateful to Stephen for guiding me through these rough 9 months and leaving me in a good spot for the next chapter of my life. If you find yourself needing a family lawyer, please do yourself a favor and meet with Stephen first. I cant recommend him enough.
