When I contacted Stephen to handle my divorce, my X & I had already equally divided assets, $ from sale of house, cars, etc. In addition, Stephen was able to get me a sizable LUMP sum that I was entitled to, from my X. If you ever need a GOOD Divorce Atty, Stephen is the one....Responsive, Knowledgable, Fair & Honest.

10 STARS!!! Beyond thankful for Stephen Chen's wisdom/advise in Family Law, compassion towards his clients needs, his communication (email, text, phone), execution and always available in a moments notice. Stephen's dedication TRULY sets him apart in Family Law. He's knowledgable, a straight shooter and an attorney who listened to our every concern. He was also prepared with questions and always kept our meetings on track without wasting our time (which could cost more money). Prior to Stephen, we had a nightmare of an experience with another attorney and that costed our DVRO case (including crucial evidence i.e: pics, text, videos that was dismissed with the DVRO). It was such an injustice and devastation to our family. However, before custody issues (case) began, Stephen was able to see the truth behind our jurisdictional concerns and shed light over a scenario that was going south very quick. No other attorney was able to understand the UCCJEA and explain it like him. As a result, he redeemed our family with facts and the judge was able to see through the slander from opposing party and counsel. The judge relinquished jurisdiction in CA, turned the case over to its rightful owner & closed the case all together. Stephen Chen's work ethic, knowledge and quick thinking gives you the confidence that he's been in the field for decades. He researches and questions everything, we never had to doubt or worry that he was fighting on our behalf, in & outside of court. To give you a lil context, the complexity and trajectory of our case after the DVRO case needed nothing short of a miracle. We decided to call Stephen one last time (he was on paternity leave when we initially called him) he took on our case in a moment's notice and accomplished SOO much more in a 30 minute meeting than the previous attorney accomplished in the few months prior. Stephen's conviction opened doors that were closed according to everyone else. As a result, he opened the eyes of all the attorneys and judges involved -- Justice was SERVED! Stephen Chen's Assistant Valerie also privided us Excellent customer service. It's no wonder his firm keeps rising to the top. He will always be the first Family Law attorney we will call on and/or highly reccommend for legal advice. Thank YOU so much again Stephen Chen and Team, you were used mightily and truly the answer to our family's prayers!!

I HIGHLY recommend Stephen Chen to be your attorney. If I ever need a California attorney or if someone needs one this is the only person I would call. I was fighting for jurisdiction in Idaho and the previous attorney I had messed up my case. She dug us in a huge hole and did absolutely nothing for my case. I had to submit paperwork to the judge the next day and previous attorney didn’t start on it. We asked Stephen Chen if he could take on the case and he saved my case! I finally got jurisdiction over my daughter in Idaho. I don’t know what I would do without Stephen Chen’s help. He sincerely cares about his clients and super passionate about his job. Definitely the only person I would recommend as family law attorney. Thank you again Stephen Chen.

I hired Stephen to keep my best interests in mind, and he did just that. Professional, prompt, direct. Explained things to me I wasn't sure of. Almost all interactions and paperwork/signatures were done online saving me TONS of time.

Best family law attorney in Los Angeles California

Stephen is very professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. I thought his writing style was very persuasive and compelling and I thought he was very reasonable and fair throughout his representation of me. When I hired him, I was in a very urgent situation that required immediate court intervention and not only was he able to get the paperwork done in a matter of a few days, we were able to get everything we requested on an emergency basis.

After trying to file my divorce documents on my own unsuccessfully, I decided it would be worth the time and money to hire a professional to help me with the process. My divorce case was pretty straightforward, as there would be no alimony or spousal support from either side. With my work schedule and the amount of paperwork required to file, I knew I wasn't capable of doing it myself so I contacted Stephen to review my case. The consultation was free, whereas other lawyers required $100-$350 for consultation fee. The whole process and communication was relatively easy, and from start to finish it took about 4 months to finalize. I'm satisfied with the services that Stephen and his staff provided during this difficult time in my life. Thank you.

It was a pleasure to have Stephen Chen as my lawyer. I was blessed to have found him on yelp. I read all of the great reviews he had so I figured i'd give him a shot and see if he would help me with my custody case. Let me just say that Stephen is very caring and very attentive. He is a lawyer that cares about his clients and will fight for what is right. I felt very comfortable with him. He is very knowledgeable and will explains things to you in detail. He is very professional and very highly respected. I'm happy to say that my case went very smooth and i'm glad Mr. Chen represented me. For anyone that needs a family law lawyer Mr. Stephen Chen is the one to call. Once again Stephen Chen Thank You for your services.

Stephen made the best impression out of all five of my attorney consultation calls. I retained his services immediately after speaking with him. On that call Stephen gave me more information than the other attorneys, which sealed the deal. His retainer fee is more than reasonable, and worth it. Stephen heard the specifics of my matter, and gave me his estimation of the situation (in monetary cost and emotional capital). The paperwork and procedures that followed were completed, as one would expect. In sum, the guy knows his stuff and will work hard for you. Look no further.
