I've been working with Bin for 3 years on my ankle injury that occurred at work. He's great to work with, and was able to get all my issues resolved before they went to a hearing. read more

I initially had a positive experience with Hooten and Chen LLP. Communication with Mr. Chen started strong and there was early momentum. My case involved long-term exposure issues tied to a workers' compensation matter, so I understood the added complexity and the need for careful handling. Over time, however, progress stalled. While I was repeatedly asked whether I was willing to move forward and sign, I was never actually provided with documents or a concrete opportunity to do so. I made it clear I was prepared to proceed, yet meaningful action and filings never materialized. Instead, communication became fragmented and slow. After nearly two years, I was referred out to another firm due to overlapping employment termination issues. Unfortunately, that referral resulted in being effectively dropped by both parties, leaving me without representation and forced to navigate the process independently. Since then, I have undergone surgery and am currently in recovery while pursuing specialized aquatic rehabilitation therapy, all of which I coordinated myself. At this point, the outcome of my medical recovery and claim progress has come from my own persistence rather than legal advocacy. While I understand the risks involved in challenging large employers, clients deserve transparency, follow-through, and continuity of representation. My experience felt more like being delayed and passed along than actively supported. If you choose to work with this firm, I strongly recommend securing written timelines, clear deliverables, and documented next steps from the beginning. read more

Wow this guy can handle a case!! Chen did an amazing job for my workman's comp claim. In the end we won a considerable amount and he communicated with me the entire time. Weekends or vacation if I had a question or problem he answered. If you're not local to Portland that's okay too!! I was in eastern Oregon and he still handled my case perfectly and timely. His rates are very reasonable too! read more

Mr. Chen has been a great advocate for me and my case. He's fought for me and my rights, and I could not recommend him and his team more highly. Happy to have him on my side. read more

Bin Chen is very easy to work with. He is thorough in explaining the process from start to finish, including potential options. Lines of communication are always open with timely, courteous and friendly responses to questions and concerns. He is an active listener and strives to keep his clients at ease. His compensation is very competitive and fair. We would definitely recommend Bin Chen for consultation and mitigation in all Worker's Comp issues. He and his staff provide excellent customer service. read more

I spent 18 years representing employers/insurers and was always frustrated when I saw Bin on the other side because he made me work harder than any other attorney. When Bin called me to point out errors resulting in his client being underpaid, I knew to have the insurer pull out the check book because he was right. Numerous contacts have asked me for referrals to an attorney representing injured workers and Bin is on the top of my list. I also have enough faith that I asked Bin to represent my 75 year old mom after a driver plowed into her car. Bin was able to get her the maximum recovery to help pay her medical bills, etc. I recommend him without reservation. read more

Bin Chen is very knowledgeable, personable, and devoted to helping his clients. I have used Hooten and Chen's services as a client and have referred people here because I trust the work they do. Workers compensation/LNI claims can seem very overwhelming and Bin was able to help me understand the process better read more

Bin in my first meeting never let me speak, then got up in the middle of our appointment to meet with a contractor, very unprofessional, over the last five weeks he will not respond to my phone calls very limited emails always has automatic reply on. He called me today, told me my case was no good and told me he will not represent me. This guy bragged about how much money he made on AMC stock sales the first time I met him, he is definitely compensating for something...if you like this kind of attitude from someone who is making money off you then by all means this is your guy. read more

Bin Chen and his wonderful staff went above and beyond the call with regard to providing expert legal service in a professional, courteous, and timely manner. I found everyone at Hooten & Chen to be thoroughly accessible, approachable, and knowledgeable, all of which resulted in an extremely favorable experience, one which I wouldn't hesitate to refer others to should they require Bin's expert service. Thank you, Bin. You and your amazing staff made the process easy to navigate from start to finish and I appreciate all your efforts in the handling of my case and wish you all nothing but continued success. read more

I also really appreciate that he kept me updated with the progress of my claim so I knew what was going on and he was always very responsive to my concerns and questions. Thanks Bin! read more

I'm so glad I was talked into seeking legal help through these guys. Being pretty young I've never been in a worker's compensation case and these guys made the process so much easier. They work very hard to ensure you get a fair shot at what it is you need to accomplish. No regrets at all and I learned a lot. Extremely friendly to talk to face to face. read more
