Overview: It is in your best interest to choose Jonah Chew! This review is for Jonah Chew. This was our family's first experience with a lawyer. With so many options and the difficult circumstances of the case, it seemed daunting to settle for ONE attorney to advocate for our family member. Based on a combination of Jonah's experience and education, track record, professionalism, and personality we trusted him as the most qualified for the best outcome; we do not regret our decision! Jonah guided us through the entire process, giving us invaluable advice and instilling confidence even before we officially hired him. Jonah is very reliable and responsive; you'll never have to wait long to hear back from him through phone, text, or email. The Case: Multiple DUI's... This 2nd DUI, within a 10-year period, resulted in an auto-collision. Our family member had a (potential) 3rd DUI that fell out of the 10-year period, but nonetheless was unfavorable as it is still on the driving record. The Outcome: A Very Favorable Sentence... Jonah and his team achieved the most favorable sentence considering the circumstances. In lieu of jail time and a hefty fine, the sentence included: 8 days of community service, a reasonable fine, completion of an 18-month OHS program, and license suspension (unavoidable) for just 1 year. Note: Jonah also successfully negotiated the removal of an expensive alcohol-monitoring (SCRAM) device.

Jonah represented me for my DUI/refusal case and the results exceeded my expectations. My case was dismissed and I was able to learn from a stupid mistake without being charged for it. Jonah knows what he's doing and is very knowledgable in this area. He kept me informed about everything every step of the way and never made any empty promises. Always responded very quickly and answered any questions I had. Very professional and confident, but his sense of humor allows you to be at ease. He took care of business and I can't thank him enough. I would highly recommend Jonah to anyone seeking representation.

Enthusiastically and honestly, with all confidence, I can state that Jonah Chew will do an excellent job defending you. Alongside his extensive experience, professionalism, legal knowledge, exceptional energy, and well-deserved confidence; he is open, understanding, and non-judgmental. He also offers a quick wit and a unique sense of humor, helping to relieve my substantial stress along my frightening journey. I made a mistake. I made an irresponsible choice one night (after drinking heavily-surprise, surprise!) and, as a result, I was in big trouble with the law. Unfortunately, I needed a good criminal attorney. Immediately upon meeting Jonah, I felt like I was in good hands. And, I was. Jonah’s results were miraculous to me and better than I had expected. On top of that, he responded quickly and clearly to all my questions and concerns and often welcomed, and then, almost always, relieved my worries. If finding yourself in the scary situation of needing excellent criminal representation, I cannot recommend Jonah Chew more highly. He told me he would take care of me. And, he did.

I was referred to Jonah from my auntie, that auntie is getting a nice gift for Christmas. I've had a few meetings with other lawyers, but none were as confident and knowledgeable as Jonah. He was more than willing to make it work with me payment wise since I'm also a full time student. My case was a DUI, but marijuana related. I went through a checkpoint after work, and was stopped because my car "smelled". I passed the sobriety tests, but they also measured my pulse. Who's pulse wouldn't increase with 10 cops and a bunch of bright lights around you? My car was towed, and I was arrested. I was completely sober the whole time I was detained. As soon as I hired Jonah, he immediately faxed the DMV to contest since my license was taken. After a few long business days, I got mail from the DMV saying that I can get my license! My arraignment was postponed because Jonah met with the DA prior. After being anxious waiting for the results, I eventually get mail saying everything was dropped. Jonah was amazing and very informative the whole time, making you feel comfortable about everything. You get way more than what you pay for.

This is a review for the attorney Jonah Chew. I had a DUI and Felony Hit and Run case where Jonah represented me. Jonah is very knowledgeable in these fields and had a way of putting me at ease. Even though I was facing a huge fine and jail time, Jonah worked hard and answered all my questions and was there for me every step of the way. Jonah was very honest and upfront about his fees and also worked out a payment plan for me. I highly recommend Jonah. And I also wanted to say that I asked Jonah if I could write a review for him and not the other way around because I was impressed with the service I received.

Jonah Chew was the perfect lawyer for the situation I was involved in. Complete professional who did a great job and keeping me informed of what was going on but also helping me stay come through a very stressful situation. It was a long process but Jonah was there every step of the way to guide me and keep me focused on what was going on. He spoke with various different parties on my behalf and not once did I feel out of the loop. Glad to know there are attorneys out there that do care for their client and do everything they can to provide support.

From January 2012 to May 2015 I had been fighting an incredibly serious case in which (up until September 2014) could have put me in prison for my ENTIRE LIFE without the possibility of parole. My case was one for the textbooks, a wrongful accusation of a heinous and violent crime that I had nothing to do with, simply in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong person. I am a UC Berkeley Graduate and ordained pastor whose integrity and freedom was put on trial (literally) for many years. Over this three and a half year process, I endured a painstakingly inadequate investigation on the part of the prosecution who ignored even some of the most obvious inconsistencies in their version of the story, even when the true perpetrator was handed over to the court on a silver platter, our witness testimonies and hard evidence were largely ignored. In the first 2 years of this trial I went through two other lawyers who did little in terms of advancing my case and I spent enough legal fees that could have been a sizable down payment on a house. Once Jonah was brought into my case in 2013 that is when we really started making positive progress. In September of 2014 Jonah successfully got the third of 3 felonies that I was being charged with dismissed reducing my potential sentence in half. Jonah handled my case with utmost attention and professionalism all the while making me feel confident in his ability to defend my innocence. I am BEYOND ecstatic to stand here and tell you that as of May 8, 2015 thanks to Jonah's tenacity and expertise, I have been EXONERATED of all charges and have finally gotten my life back! I would highly recommend Jonah to anyone who is in a situation in which they need to prove their innocence and character! Thank you Jonah for helping me get the second chance at life that I have yearned for over these excruciating three and a half years!
