“I felt I had a highly capable professional as well as a good friend in my corner. He gave me sound advice and deferred to my decisions. I learned a lot about about negotiating from him. I also feel he was always honest with me - even when the feedback was potentially upsetting, he gave it to me straight. He was a genuine advocate - he kept me out of court and got me a fair deal. His billing was straightforward and reasonable. I’m grateful that Stephen is out there - during a turbulent time in one’s life, when you find yourself most vulnerable, it’s heartening that there are professionals who won’t exploit that vulnerability. Stephen is a good man doing good work.”

“The cliche I heard most commonly about lawyer selection was that you should find a “pitbull,” but in my experience what you need in fact is a lawyer who can exercise tact and discretion, but can bust out a little pitbull when needed. Stephen Chen neatly struck this balance for me, and I will continue to work with him in the future.”

“I was always under the impression that “marriage is scary” and “divorce is way too expensive.” Now, I am confident mentally and emotionally going into marriage. I think Stephen says it best, “Marriage is hard work but nothing in life worth having comes easy.””
