Our client was seriously injured when a commercial truck driver ran a red light. The insurance company initially offered $300K. We conducted a thorough investigation, secured expert witnesses, and negotiated a $2.1M settlement just before trial.

Previous Offer: $300K Settlement: $2.1M

Business Litigation

Breach of Contract Defense Victory

A small business owner was sued for $1.2M in a breach of contract dispute. We filed counterclaims, conducted extensive discovery, and successfully moved for summary judgment—resulting in dismissal of all claims against our client.

Claim Against Client: $1.2M Result: All Claims Dismissed

Family Law

Full Child Custody & Support Victory

In a high-conflict divorce, our client sought full custody of their two young children due to the other parent's history of substance abuse. We presented compelling evidence, secured expert testimony, and obtained full legal and physical custody, plus appropriate child support.

Full Legal & Physical Custody Child Support Awarded

Our client's employment-based green card had been denied three times by USCIS. We identified the legal errors in the previous applications, gathered additional evidence, filed a new petition, and secured approval within 6 months.

2018–2024 Honorees

"I was terrified after my car accident. The insurance company was offering me pennies on the dollar. Sarah Hale and her team took my case, treated me with compassion, and secured a settlement that was 7 times what the insurance company initially offered. I couldn't recommend them more highly."

Maria G.

Personal Injury Client | Avvo 5/5 Review

"As a small business owner, I was being sued for $1.2M in a breach of contract dispute I thought was completely frivolous. Michael Chen not only got all claims dismissed, he also recovered my attorney fees. He was clear, strategic, and always kept me informed. Worth every penny."

Robert J.

Business Litigation Client | Google 5/5 Review

"I was going through a very high-conflict divorce and was terrified I'd lose custody of my kids. Elena Rodriguez was compassionate, patient, and incredibly tough in court. She got me full custody of my children and a fair child support arrangement. I don't know what I would have done without her."
