Great Law Firm - Very quick to answer questions, Attentive to our needs and all around super professional. I would recommend this Law firm to my family and friends.

My mom was in a car accident about 2yrs ago and was referred to Christine Chao at the Law Offices of Derek Lim through a friend. Unfortunately, the person who caused the accident didn't have insurance and my mom suffered injuries that required extensive medical treatment. When my mom first contacted Christine, she was very unclear on the details of how these types of cases were handled so I asked my mom to contact Christine so that I could correspond with her directly. Prior to contacting Christine, I called another lawyer to ask for some details about these type of cases. In California, there is a 2yr timeframe from the date of the accident to file your case in relation to all costs, medical treatment, etc that may be part of your claim. When I called Christine, she provided pertinent information and discussed how these types of cases are handled and reviewed. She was very professional, personable and easy to understand. All the information that I received from the other lawyer was consistent with what Christine told me. The majority of our correspondence throughout the 2yr timeframe was done through email. Initially, my mom was referred to just chiropractic treatment but after little benefit and worsening symptoms, I checked with Christine to see what were the appropriate next steps. Christine always responded within a business day and was very clear about appropriate steps to take. Christine and her team would touch base periodically and ask for information and updates on my mom's care. As the 2yr timeframe came to an end, Christine again followed up and provided her professional guidance on what she felt would be best for the claim/settlement. After reviewing the information and documentation she provided, we agreed. Throughout the entire process, Christine and her team did a great job keeping us up-to-date and checking in. I am extremely grateful that my mom was referred to such a great practice to assist with her case. Christine and her team made it easy and pleasant despite such a long and laborious process and although I hope no one has to deal with such situations, if you did, I think Christine and the Offices of Derek Lim would be a great option to assist with your needs.

We had a personal injury case that required assistance because the driver who hit my family member fled the scene and the insurance company was not cooperative. We needed to get compensation for my family member's injuries and we decided to contact the Law Offices of Derek Lim. They were good at returning our calls promptly and met with us quickly after we contacted them. They pursued the case diligently and got the insurance company to accept liability. They helped us to eventually get a fair settlement without the need for litigation. We enjoyed working with Derek and Christine because they were easy to talk to and explained to us the steps needed to resolve the case. They kept us updated with the case progress and were available to answer our questions. We are satisfied with the result and highly recommend them to people needing assistance with personal injury matters!

Very nice law office. They handled my immigration application. I made some additional requirements on my case. They have done them well. Very fast response. High effects on pushing the progress. Good communication. It's easy to get answer from the attorney and their staff. Our boss is not familiar the application, Law office did good explanation to our company. Based on that, I can get the documents which application needs. Now I got case approved. They are very helpful!

Through my employer, I hired the services of Derek Lim's firm to apply for US Permanent Residence (employment based) and my experience was successful in all ways. Throughout the process, they handled each step of my case with great professional manner; all went very smooth. A couple of times, the USCIS requested additional information and the firm immediately acted in gathering the required documentation and effectively responding. I always felt confident that things would go through well... and they did, my family and I obtained PR in less than the average time. Special thanks to Christine Chao who led my case, she is very professional and knows the ins and outs of the law in the topic. I highly recommend hiring their services.

Derek and his Group are excellent professionals. Not only they are very thorough in all details required but also very helpful and extremely friendly. When in their office it seems like being at friends place rather then some attorney`s office. Derek is very honest and intelligent person and so is Christine.
