Reviews

“When I was denied my Life-only, accident and health license, I could’ve said I was rather hopeless and was going to switch careers.  My attorney recommended I go to Matthew Truong, and I have zero complaints.  Went later in May, he chatted with me, said to give him the paperwork he needed.  Now I’m a licensed agent! (Well it was just approved today, waiting a week or so for CDI to issue it.)  Very friendly office and highly recommended by me Thanks Matt!”  -Tyler J. on Yelp

“Best law firm you can choose if you have been denied your license from the Dental Board, which was my case.. I was denied for having a criminal record, in the past.  I did a lot of researched before I reached out…for help, best choice I could of made, for the determination of my career.  Matthew was the attorney assigned to my case, he worked closely with, kept me well informed, and stayed on top of the Dental Board.  I was expecting to go to court and hopefully getting my license with restrictions and probationary period, Mathew, somehow got me my license with no court date, restrictions, or probation!  Thank you Mathew!  I’m forever grateful for the hard work and dedication you gave!!!”  -Pammy M. on Yelp

“Attorney Matthew Truong is amazing.  He helped me get my California LVN License cleared through alleged state bureaucracy.  He knows how the system works, and is the best person to have in your corner when battling with the state.  Everyone was very nice at the law office.  Matthew always was very professional, and straight to the point on how to prepare for a case.  He’s a major asset to the company.  Thank you again.”  -Edward S. on Yelp

“Matthew Truong, thank you for the exceptional representation! My case was unique and required a high level of expertise.  I appreciated your objective views, concern and level of professionalism.  Which offered guidance and comfort throughout this difficult ordeal.  Your assistance led to my case being handled expeditiously and favorably.  Now I can pursue my career as a Nurse!”  -L S. on Yelp

“Please forgive my blunt manner, but ATTORNEY MATTHEW TRUONG IS SPECTACULAR!  To say that dealing with Matthew Truong was a pleasure is an understatement!  Where do I begin?  Let’s start with adjectives…Professional, knowledgeable, CARING, unassuming, diligent, prompt, intelligent, pleasant, honest, and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!  Mr. Truong turned what was a tremendously tense and anxiety filled situation, into one that was palatable, and eventually his guidance afforded me the best possible of all resolutions!  I have dealt with a few lawyers in my time, and I’m sad to say that there are very few attorneys out there that can fit the bill.  Let alone follow through with what they promise!  That is, unless you pay an exorbitant amount of cash to have them represent you.  Even then, there’s still no promise of a favorable outcome.  If you’re reading this, I’m assuming that you may relate to what I was feeling, when I found myself in a position that required me to secure legal representation, while I was in the application for my Cal BRE License?  Unfortunately, I unknowingly made an honest mistake while filling out my licensing application.  Which ultimately caused all kinds of stress, havoc and truly excruciating delay!  So, after interviewing 5 different opinions, as well as the vast array of legal fees (topping out at $20,000!), you can only imagine how much relief I felt when I…was directed to attorney Matthew Truong!  From the very beginning he was the epitome of what all lawyers should be.  I will be forever grateful to Matthew Truong for his guidance and for truly being the first person to listen to me and care about what I had to say, about a situation that was just wrong from the word go!  If you are in a bad situation, big or small, this is the firm to contact.  They truly do care about you!  I have nothing but the highest regard…specifically Attorney Matthew Truong!”  -Susan J. on Yelp
