I had an excellent experience working with Chi on my family law matter. From start to finish, she was professional, responsive, and supportive. My case involved a high-conflict situation, but Chi remained strategic and calm throughout the entire process and guided me every step of the way. Thanks to her knowledge and advocacy, the case was resolved in our favor. I truly appreciated her clear communication and dedication, and I always felt confident knowing she was handling my case. I would highly recommend Chi to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable family law attorney.
I am thoroughly disgusted with Attorney Chi Nguyen’s lack of professionalism and communication.
I found her through Yelp in July 2025 with glowing reviews. After a July 4th consultation, I hired her to handle my parenting plan matter (not my protection order, though she gave advice on that too). What followed was one of the worst professional experiences I’ve ever had.
Here are the main issues:
Never in court – She never once appeared in person, only via Zoom. We paid her the same as anyone else, yet she didn’t show up physically.
Unprofessional appearance – On Zoom, she dressed in casual T-shirts, not courtroom-appropriate attire.
Paralegal overseas – The paralegal assigned to our case (Bernard) was working permanently out of the country. This made direct communication about our case nearly impossible.
Bad legal advice & dishonesty – She advised my child to drop a protection order to “help” with a 50/50 parenting plan, then denied ever giving that advice in court. This damaged our case.
Unprepared in court – Judge was visibly frustrated with her lack of preparation and awareness of required next steps.
Communication failures – She ignored the client portal (where we receive notifications) and instead sent critical updates by regular email, which caused us to miss deadlines and hearings. Documents were submitted incorrectly and late, resulting in continuances, sanctions, and extra costs we had to pay ($700).
Recent failure – For a GAL hearing, financial documents we sent in late August were submitted at the last minute. She failed to consult us on which GAL we preferred, leaving us blindsided in court.
We left court feeling defeated every single time. Yesterday’s hearing was the final straw—we fired her immediately.
⚠️ Hiring an attorney is stressful enough; you need someone professional, prepared, and communicative. Chi Nguyen was none of these. Do not hire her.
Owner response
Ms. Hanson, <br>Our representation of your son is consistent with how we represent each and every one of our client. <br><br>When you first retained, we notified you we were located in King County and that we would be appearing via zoom. You had no objections to this. The yelp info would confirm we are located in King County. <br><br>My appearance has not been deemed inappropriate by judge or opposing counsel nor do I view what I wear as inappropriate for court. My paralegal works during office hours and we responded to each text, message, email and phone call from you and your son - even after hours.<br> You and your son represented yourself in the DVPO - we had no relations to this. You asked my opinion and I provided it. I did not advise you to drop your case - you did this of your own accord as you wanted to be able to communicate with the opposing party regarding the parenting plan. <br><br>I was prepared for each court appearance and the court was neither frustrated nor deemed that I was unprepared. I provided you with a summary of what happened after each court appearance. We provided communication with you through the portal, through text, through email and through calls. You missed the deadline because our email went to your spam. I explained the process for a GAL and what a strike means and explained why I had to contact GALs for their availability and find out opposing counsel's strike. Your decision to terminate effectively immediately is within your rights. We provided the accounting and ceased work. <br><br>You then decided to write this review because we notified you we would not appear for the next hearing give notice of immediate termination. <br>While I understand your frustration - your review is neither accurate nor reflect what actually transpired in our representation of your case. This effectively is an intent to smear my name and necessitated a response. <br>
Highly recommended! Chi demonstrated excellent communication and thoroughness throughout my case. Each conversation provided clarity and reassurance and all my questions were addressed promptly. I truly felt supported throughout the entire process. Thank you again for everything!
If you see this message, stay away from this unprofessional lawyer.
She represented me in Renton Municipal Court and on the day of the court she asked for an extension because she had not studied my case thoroughly.
She just wants your money and will never do a good job of legally representing you.
Owner response
It is general practice to move a hearing if we newly came on board so that we can review your case and present the best defense for you. It appears that you are a client from 2021 and we were able to get your matter dismissed as a result of our representation.
Chi helped me with my divorce, and she was able to give us the information that we needed. She provides wonderful counsel and is very communicative about the process. She stays on top of things and makes sure that your needs are met. I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you, Chi and team!
Thank you Chi and staff for providing above and beyond service to me during my most challenging time with post divorce and move order with my children. Not only were you professional but you provided clear and concise explanation throughout the whole process. If only I found you before my previous lawyer who were really there to get money from me during my already stressful time snd made everything so much more difficult on me. Thank you so much for everything. For others seeking service from DC Law, I’d recommend her to anyone with no hesitation.
Owner response
We are happy you were satisfied with representation!
We had no clue what I was doing, we knew we needed to get something done so that if anything was to happen to my husband or myself that our girls would be taken care of. Mrs. Nguyen was very knowledgeable and helped set us up. Thank you
Owner response
Thank you for trusting your family’s need with us!
Ms. Chi Nguyen is a lawyer I would definitely recommend. She was the consummate professional throughout the whole process.
I never once felt a need to question her directions because she presented a clear and concise strategy for my case and was always available to answer any question I had.
My best interests were at the forefront and that is something you want from your lawyer!
Owner response
Our clients interests are always at the fore front of our representation. Thank you for trusting us!
I had to take a minute to share my experience with Chi to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.
I have worked with over 20 attorneys in my life for various reasons. My experience with Chi was by far the best because she used her obvious intelligence and understanding of the law to find a quick solution to the ongoing legal issue I was having with my ex-husband.
I have never heard anyone say their lawyer didn’t charge them enough but I have to say Chi could have charged me ALOT more money for the work she did. I had to Venmo her a tip.
Chi is an exceptional attorney and obviously cares more about the people she helps than the money she makes.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
