My mom was in a car accident about 2yrs ago and was referred to Christine Chao at the Law Offices of Derek Lim through a friend. Unfortunately, the person who caused the accident didn't have insurance and my mom suffered injuries that required extensive medical treatment. When my mom first contacted Christine, she was very unclear on the details of how these types of cases were handled so I asked my mom to contact Christine so that I could correspond with her directly.

Prior to contacting Christine, I called another lawyer to ask for some details about these type of cases. In California, there is a 2yr timeframe from the date of the accident to file your case in relation to all costs, medical treatment, etc that may be part of your claim. When I called Christine, she provided pertinent information and discussed how these types of cases are handled and reviewed. She was very professional, personable and easy to understand. All the information that I received from the other lawyer was consistent with what Christine told me.

The majority of our correspondence throughout the 2yr timeframe was done through email. Initially, my mom was referred to just chiropractic treatment but after little benefit and worsening symptoms, I checked with Christine to see what were the appropriate next steps. Christine always responded within a business day and was very clear about appropriate steps to take. Christine and her team would touch base periodically and ask for information and updates on my mom's care.

As the 2yr timeframe came to an end, Christine again followed up and provided her professional guidance on what she felt would be best for the claim/settlement. After reviewing the information and documentation she provided, we agreed. Throughout the entire process, Christine and her team did a great job keeping us up-to-date and checking in.

I am extremely grateful that my mom was referred to such a great practice to assist with her case. Christine and her team made it easy and pleasant despite such a long and laborious process and although I hope no one has to deal with such situations, if you did, I think Christine and the Offices of Derek Lim would be a great option to assist with your needs.

We had a personal injury case that required assistance because the driver who hit my family member fled the scene and the insurance company was not cooperative. We needed to get compensation for my family member's injuries and we decided to contact the Law Offices of Derek Lim. They were good at returning our calls promptly and met with us quickly after we contacted them. They pursued the case diligently and got the insurance company to accept liability. They helped us to eventually get a fair settlement without the need for litigation.

We enjoyed working with Derek and Christine because they were easy to talk to and explained to us the steps needed to resolve the case. They kept us updated with the case progress and were available to answer our questions.

We are satisfied with the result and highly recommend them to people needing assistance with personal injury matters!

(Translated by Google) Mr. Lin is very experienced and will communicate with you with all the details, which will make you feel at ease; the assistant ability is also very strong. My case was complicated, but fortunate enough to find them, and now all issues have been solved perfectly. Recommend to more people who need legal help!

Mr. Lim's Law office is representing me on my PI case - I was in a three car accident (3rd party fault). Originally I was averse to getting services of any lawyer, but I am VERY glad I did.

Having a lawyer representation helped me in dealing with several challenges: While I wasn't even fully recovered. my own insurance company low-balled me; the police report of the accident barely had any details (even though I remember first respondents taking pictures and video of the scene); the third party insurance company refused to accept liability and dragged the negotiation on and on and on! It has more than a year and my case is still not completely closed.

However, Christine and Mr. Lim's staff have been persistent and firm in getting a fair settlement for me. They have been prompt and very helpful in answering my questions. My case is still ongoing, but I am very happy with their efforts so far.

I worked with Derek Lim office for my Mother's immigration case and I can tell that I had a very professional service.

I mostly worked with Penny and Christine and they helped me step by step to complete this case. They basically did all work, I just provided the necessary documents.
Concerning the price of the service, I found it very reasonable.

I advise anyone with immigration case to contact Derek Lim Law office.

I had a rear-end car accident. The insurance paid me for car damage in first week, but we can't get agreement on personal injury. I contacted with the Law office of Derek Lim. Ms. Christine is a professional case manager. I'm happy law office of Derick Lim did great job on settling my case.

(Translated by Google) In May of this year, I cooperated with Lin lawyers in the asylum case in early December. This was inseparable from the professional and meticulous analysis of D.Lim's lawyers. I followed the requirements of Mr. Lin's request for a step-by-step preparation of materials to be successfully reviewed under his professional guidance. Our family is very grateful to him. The members of their team are very Nice. Very professional and patient. I am very grateful to you today. I have worked hard.

We had a car accident in July 2017, and reached out for help. This was the first time for us to deal with such situation and had no clue where to start. Christine took our case and made the whole process easy for us. Following her guidance, we provided all documents needed, then she took care everything, and we went back to normal life. She fully represented us on handling all the communication and negotiation with multiple parties, while kept us informed on progress and status. It was so much work she and her team have offloaded from us, and she fought very hard on maximizing our benefit on the settlement. We are very satisfied with the service and result we received in the end. Highly recommend as lawyer for accident case.

I had gotten into a four-car accident a little over a year ago and sought out the Law Office of Derek Lim for some guidance. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and did not have much experience in this area. Luckily, I was referred over to talk to Christine. She handled everything professionally and made the whole process very easy. After she gathered all the information she needed about the accident, I was told that no further action was required and they will take it from here. Simple as that!

Every month, she would either call or email me with some updates and that put my mind at ease. There were some negotiations involved with the other insurance but everything worked out great in the end. Christine and the team fought for a big settlement check for me, which I greatly appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed their staff and attorneys because of how much time and effort they put in to help me through the whole process. If anyone I know needed an accident lawyer, they will be the first people I refer. I was extremely satisfied with their service and results and highly recommend them to anyone in need of an accident lawyer.

We badly need a lawyer for our case before because it's not the usual case. I came as student and got married here. My petition got current and since we need to apply for green card already we seek help from atty. Derek Lim and he did gave us payment options as well as helping us in identifying what are the requirements we need to submit. The staff and secretary were on the spot always in helping us and making a follow ups everytime. We enjoy working with them. The day we received the interview date, we were so happy and amazed because after more than a year of waiting they still help us in how to answer questions and making sure all requirements to be presented are correct. That alone make us believe in their services.

(Translated by Google) Because of Lin's specialty, my mother's immigration case was successfully resolved. After my friend and I came to Mr. Lin's office, we told Mr. Lin about the immigration we encountered. Lawyer Lin gave a clear shot of what we should do and gave us clear steps to let us know how much the case is worth. Before we went to court, he repeatedly told us to look at the information we had previously handed to the immigration office, for fear that we would forget because we were afraid. Almost a week before we finally go to court, we will go to him for another exercise so that we know how to deal with different questions of the judge. He doesn't collect the money at one time, but collects it every step, and we think the price is reasonable. Another thing is to thank his assistant Penny for helping us sort out the case so that the judge can see it at a glance. Thank you so much for helping us fulfill our American dream.

因為林律師的專業,我媽媽的移民案件得以圓滿解決。經過朋友的介紹我和我媽媽來到林律師的辦公室,我們把我們所遇到的移民狀況告訴給林律師。林律師就一針見血的說出我們應該要怎樣做,還給我們講清楚步驟,讓我們知道這個案件的勝算有多少。他在我們上庭前,一而再再而三的囑咐我們要看看我們之前遞給移民局的資料,生怕我們因為害怕而忘記。到最後差不多上庭的前一個星期,我們會到他那裡再進行一次演習,好讓我們知道如何應對法官的不同問題。他不會一次性收錢,而是每到一個步驟就收一次,我們覺得價錢還算合理。還有就是要感謝他的助理Penny的幫助,幫我們梳理案件,讓法官一目了然。真的謝謝他們幫我們圓了美國夢。

My wife and I were in a car accident about 1yr and half ago and Both of us were injured by the accident. I call Christine Chao at the Law Offices of Derek Lim three days after the accident. My car accident happened in LA but I live in Bay Area. However, Christine said they were be able to take our case.

We met Christine and attorney Lim one time at Fremont office and signed the contract. She was very professional to explain what the steps will be and followed up with us every status. It was really easy to work with Christine and her colleagues Penny and Tiffany. I did enjoy working with them.

As the 1yr and half timeframe came to an end,we were very happy with our claim with a reasonable compensations. After reviewing the information and documentation she provided, we agreed to close the case. Throughout the entire process, Christine and her team did a great job keeping us up-to-date and checking in.

I am extremely grateful to have Christine and her team working on our case. I think Christine and the Offices of Derek Lim would be a great option to assist with your needs.

(Translated by Google) I applied for a marriage visa before, and waited for 7 years, waiting for an immigration notice, saying that I want to cancel my temporary green card status and suspect the authenticity of the marriage. Through the introduction, I came to Lin Law Firm and had the honor to meet Christine, a very beautiful and intellectual woman. She helped me sort out my ideas, sort out the logic, and was a thorough explanation of my arguments, which was very responsible and efficient. Even after I submitted the divorce application, I can still defend my success. I got a 10-year green card this month, and I am very grateful to everyone at Lin Law Firm for their hard work in my case. Thank u so much.

之前申请了结婚签证,等了7年,等来一张移民局的通知,说要取消我的临时绿卡身份、怀疑婚姻的真实性。通过介绍,来到了林律师事务所,有幸认识了Christine,非常美丽知性的一位女性。她帮我整理了思路、理清了逻辑,更是通宵达旦的翻译我的辩解理由书,非常负责任和效率高。甚至在我把离婚申请递交上去以后,还能申辩成功。这个月顺利拿到10年绿卡,非常感谢林律师事务所的各位尽心尽力为我的case做的努力。Thank u so much.

Very nice law office. They handled my immigration application. I made some additional requirements on my case. They have done them well. Very fast response. High effects on pushing the progress. Good communication. It's easy to get answer from the attorney and their staff. Our boss is not familiar the application, Law office did good explanation to our company. Based on that, I can get the documents which application needs. Now I got case approved. They are very helpful!

Through my employer, I hired the services of Derek Lim's firm to apply for US Permanent Residence (employment based) and my experience was successful in all ways. Throughout the process, they handled each step of my case with great professional manner; all went very smooth. A couple of times, the USCIS requested additional information and the firm immediately acted in gathering the required documentation and effectively responding. I always felt confident that things would go through well... and they did, my family and I obtained PR in less than the average time. Special thanks to Christine Chao who led my case, she is very professional and knows the ins and outs of the law in the topic. I highly recommend hiring their services.

Derek and his Group are excellent professionals. Not only they are very thorough in all details required but also very helpful and extremely friendly. When in their office it seems like being at friends place rather then some attorney`s office.
Derek is very honest and intelligent person and so is Christine.
