Chan Ahn advised me on an employment matter with a very professional and extremely helpful manner. He took the time to explain the law and exceptions to the law. I received a wealth of information and advice that provided me with an effective strategy in approaching the situation with the tools needed to present my concerns to my employer successfully. I highly recommend Mr. Ahn. Thank you.

I was sued at fault for an incident that could result in a lengthy process, talking maybe years, and a financial issue. I found Anh and contacted him with very little hope. Long story short, Ahn came up with a great idea and resolved the issue in a very short time. In addition, I am no longer responsible for any judicial matter. I am so thankful that I met Ahn. I highly recommend him as I would also seek Ahn in the future for any problem.

Mr. Ahn handled an immigration case on behalf of my wife, filing for citizenship via naturalization. In the initial interview, he was very forthcoming and explained exactly what needed to be done, as well as described what the overall time frame might look like. Along the way, we had an issue with the assistant working our case, Sean Tropea, which Mr. Ahn quickly remedied by expeditiously moving our case forward. Overall, we were able to get the entire process completed within 7 months, which is surprisingly quick. More time was spent waiting on USCIS than Mr. Ahn's office - so we were very pleased with the amount of attention that was given to our case. Financially, Mr. Ahn is very fair priced and all expenses were well explained. Well worth the money for his office's services! He speaks fluent Korean and English, so the entire time both my wife and I were able to completely understand the process and the status of the case. Excellent immigration attorney whom I'd recommend to anyone in the SC, DC or GA area!

Assertive and knowledgeable representation. I was very happy that I decided to do business with Attorney Ahn and his practice. The communication during the process was phenomenal, as were the results. He kept me informed regularly and educated me throughout. Highly recommend!

I consulted with Chan about me paying for a car warranty and not actually receiving the warranty, thus leaving me with the cost of repairs. I knew from the initial conversation that he had my best interest at hand. He explained everything in laymen's terms and was careful not to patronize me. He provides you with the pros and cons, upfront, so there are no surprises. He is also clear about costs and which way may work better for your specific case. I immediately hired him. He is a hands-on lawyer and answered a lot of my questions where he could have easily allowed the paralegal to answer them. He's very detailed and thorough in everything he does. I called and emailed a lot and not once did I feel pushed off or like another random client. If you want someone that's available, detailed, and thorough, try Chan. I was able to get representation, professionalism, return calls, emails, etc. at a reasonable cost. Lawyers like Chan are sure to get both repeat and new clientele. I won my case, I think, simply off of how detailed he is. 5 Stars for Chan!

Chan had the opportunity to help both me and my realtor in the course of this case and he was very professional. Both me and my realtor were very please with his performance. He was very courteous and fair as well as very thorough in handling our case. If we had the opportunity of doing it all over again, we would chose Chan as our attorney to handle our case. I would like to thank Chan for all his diligence and hard work.

Chan was very empathic and understanding of my employment situation. He was upfront with all the different options that were available to me and the cost associated. He was super prompt in returning all emails and calls. In fact he actually emailed and called me far more than I did him. He kept me abreast of all statuses. He notified me immediately of all decisions to be made. He is a hard worker and very intelligent. He has strong interpersonal skills as I immediately felt comfortable to work with him and that I could trust him. I never had a doubt whose "side" he was on. I felt the cost associated was worth the value he brings. Hopefully I will not need a lawyer in the future but if I do, he will be the first and only I call.

I referred a work discrimination case to him and he acted so swiftly to save me from losing my job within days. He further led a powerful negotiation which led to getting me the best litigation package any one could dream of. This was after I had contacted another law firm who refused to getback to me after I had paid $350. He is empathetic, honest and above all professional in his dealings. Will recommend his services to everyone without hesitation. My family and I are for ever grateful to you. You are the best and perfect lawyer.
