We found this law firm as a provider from my company legal plan. After the appointment with Adam Chang (one partner of the firm), we decided to move forward with them and we completed all the document and signed retainer and provided with $512 deposit (half of the full price) and they agree to proceed with our case on 12/18 (see attached photo for record).
After more than one month (1/21), I received a phone call from Lalit Kundani (another partner of the firm) and he told us that they couldn't proceed with our case unless we paid $500 more out of pocket!
The reason that he refused to take our case was because he requests us to have an extra Qdot (qualified domestic trust) with our estate plan because my husband and I are not Permanent Residents yet.
1) This company is very unprofessional! We originally consulted with Adam Chang and he provided us with the estate planning that we both agreed to move forward. After more than one month, another partner asked to increase our price, otherwise he will reject our case! How can any one trust this company who can't give professional and consistent suggestions?
2) This company lacks of integrity! If it is your company gave wrong directions for your customers, why should the customers take responsibilities for your mistakes especially they were waiting for one month and a half and wasted their time and energy!
3) This company is very irresponsible. I frankly mentioned to Lalit Kundani that my husband and I already passed our immigrant interview, we are just waiting for our priority date to become current and we can official become permanent resident. I ask whether the firm can keep our case, once we change our immigrant status, they can start to process our case. Lalit refused my propose even though both of us already signed the retainer!
4) This company finagles their customer for more money. As I checked about Qdot, it will help with foreigners only if one of couple passed away, the succeeded one can 100% marital deduction. However, permanent residents have $11,400,000 exempt in lifetime gift tax exemption, PR usually don't the Qdot any more. Moreover, both my husband and I are at our early 30, Lalit Kundani still forced us to pay extra $500 to have Qdot which will not have effect once we received our green card (which can happen within 3-6 months).
It wasted our time and energy to work with this firm and we did not get anything done. We shared this experience because we hoped that you may avoid the same incident. So avoid working with this company!
I cannot recommend anyone better!
I've been so impressed by every person with whom I've interacted at Kundani Chang Khinda Wilson. Their service was just top notch. I felt like our trust and estate matters were so well taken care of - every item was thoroughly explained, every matter was addressed. Considering these weighty issues and important decisions, I wanted to carefully screen and work with people I could trust. From the moment our working partnership began, I just knew I was in good hands. I recommend KCKW very highly - and I've happily forwarded the firm's information to my closest friends. I think everyone in California should have an advanced healthcare directive, a will and trust, given legal matters upon passing. Don't ignore this issue - hire the firm, have them help you through it. They are excellent!
Kiran was very helpful once the settlement was reached and was there to explain what to expect next with the paperwork and proceedings from the court. She always responded to my questions in a prompt manner. My daughter had to attend one of the court proceedings and she prepped us with what to expect. I remembered after the proceedings, Kiran went out of her way to buy ice cream for my daughter. She was beyond ecstatic after a long afternoon in the courthouse. Small things like that I will be forever grateful for and appreciative of.
I cannot recommend Kundani & Chang enough. Completely professional and responsive to their client needs.
Not only were they very professional, but were also easy to talk to, patient, and very knowledgeable about what they're doing - I was informed everything I needed to know about insurance companies on my first phone meeting with Lalit. They were also passionate and aggressive about getting the best results and wouldn't settle until we did. One or the other was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had and were quick to respond to any email or text. I always felt confident in their work because they always assured me everything was taken care of and explained each step along the way throughout the whole process. I was also walked through on what I needed to do on my end in order for me to have a graceful and stress-free experience while I was waiting for everything to settle. I definitely felt like a high priority client.
Distance also wasn't an issue when working with this law firm. I live west of the San Fernando Valley (almost the other end of the LA county), and their offices are in Anaheim and the surrounding areas. I didn’t have to meet with them once, and somehow everything was handled smoothly! Even overnighted me some documents I needed to sign so I wouldn't have to drive. Costs were also very reasonable, they actually had my best financial interests at heart and in the end I was very satisfied with the results -- my case just closed this week!
Lalit & Kiran are brilliant lawyers who work under high integrity values, both reasons why I was recommended to them and why I ended up choosing them. I highly recommend them, regardless of whether you have experience with legal issues or not.
Lalit always answered our questions and was easy to get a hold of on phone/email. Some of the other parents at the school had similar positive experience with him, I have already recommended my sister to him and will be telling my other friends as well.
Trust, Reliability, and Understanding are important qualities to us....all of which we experienced when dealing with Lalit. We look forward to working with Lalit and his associates, and we highly recommend them. Thank you for your help and hard work thus far!
