I wish I could give him 10 stars!! I'm so happy with the outcome! The only thing I regret is not obtaining him as a lawyer sooner! Thank you so much Hieu Vu!!! After 8 years of having a warrant, I can now close that chapter!!! Thank you so much.

I am 100% in ahhh of Mr Hieu Vu's diligence and knowledge. He will 100% listen to you without judgment and go above and beyond to provide you with peace of mind and assurance that he has your back! From the moment I contacted this attorney that is exactly what he did, he provided me with such a sense of assurance, and kept reassuring me, that he will be by my side, every step of the way. His communication and openness is incomparable. He goes above and beyond to answer your calls and text at any hours. He has an open door policy for his clients. GET HIM ON YOUR TEAM ! He's the BEST !! I promise you!! you will have no regrets! I can't thank him enough for what he's done for me thus far !! Thank you Mr Vu!

It’s unfortunate that you were dissatisfied with my consultation. I always try to be upfront and transparent with my potential clients. Sometimes, that means telling them that I’m not the right person to handle their case. I don’t want to take your money or mislead you in any way. I have high standards of ethics and quality, and I don’t want to compromise them or your interests. I hope you appreciate your understanding and respect for my decision. I sincerely hope that you find a good solution for your case.

Sorry you feel that way. I'm always open to giving free advice and talking to people about their case (as indicated in my other reviews)

"sorry i can't help" so much for free consultation - Aurora H.San Francisco, CA01Dec 18, 2022
For me, I had an extremely unpleasant experience here. He is the most unfriendly and arrogant criminal defense lawyer in Orange County in my opinion. He has a horrible personality and very poor communication skills. This guy lacks in compassion.
Almost 10 months ago, I was attacked by my roommates. I decided to hire Hieu for legal advice. He won't answer any questions unless you have paid him a retainer fee and have signed the agreement. So I paid him a retainer fee and signed the representation agreement. All the fees that I have paid him were in a timely manner. I didn't owe him anything.

I have scheduled an in person meeting with him. I met him for the first time. I felt very stressed at that time. It was a difficult time for me. I thought that he was able to answer my concerns as well as my worries in an in -person meeting. He did answer some of my concerns and questions. However, there were many times that he was inclined to interrupt the conversation whenever I asked him about legal questions. He made jokes about rape. He said that it is nothing. He laughed. All his jokes he made were so inappropriate and unprofessional. It made me feel so uncomfortable. I didn't condone such rude behaviors and offensive languages. In addition to that, he asked me about my school, my major and my personal life. He has crossed the line. He has crossed my boundaries.

The day was monday. He said that he was available at 2:30 pm. This was a phone call. He didn't show up on time. He told me to wait. So I waited and I called him back. It is very unprofessional for me. I wrote him an email and said that I will pay him for his time. After that, I didn't receive any responses from him. During this phone call, he even asked me " where are you?" I said that I was out of town. Then he asked why you were not here. It is very unprofessional and inappropriate for him to ask me in a phone call.
In the written agreement, it was written as " Scope of services: Scope of representation which is trial." However, there was no trial. My case is not filed. As a result, I asked him if I am entitled to a refund. He became so defensive with me through text. He replied to me, " Read it more. It is for my availability. I cover you ask the way to trial." Then he made the statement about the contract. He added " Your contract also covers my consult ( the 90 minutes you sat in my office and the numerous reassurances), my availability..."
I was like "Where was 90 minutes coming from?" I sat in your office for less than an hour. And you charged me an hour for your time. I am certain that he overbilled me.
Besides, his contract was too vague and generalized. He charged me a retainer fee that represents more hours than a case is likely requires.There were no terms and conditions. He didn't rewrite the contract when circumstances changed. He failed to communicate with me reasonably. He didn't inform me in writing. He charged me the fees without my knowledge and permission. For example, he charged me 10 minutes per task for the court checking. For me, it seems very unnecessary. He called " 10 minutes per task is industry standard." He charged me for the legal services that were not written in the agreement.
He is rude and impatient whenever I ask him for more clarification regarding the fees. All he does is that he ignores my questions intentionally. As a client, I can not understand you unless you give me specific explanations.
For me, he took advantage of my situation. He took advantage of my kindness. He took advantage of me.
Please avoid him at all costs and do not waste your time. When it comes to any legal matters, take my advice- do your own research and trust your own judgment.

5star service.
Before I had decided to call Hieu, I was going through anxiety and not knowing what's next.
Hieu was very knowledgeable and gave me reassurance once again.
Free consultation was awesome.
Very straightforward and left no answers in the air for me.

Hieu is absolutely THE PERSON you want in your corner if you get into some trouble with the law. He took care of me back in 2019. He helped get a deferred judgment on my case, and after I took a class, he helped to dismiss the case. I never had to step foot in court, which was a godsend. Hieu was professional, super quick to communicate, and made me feel like I was in expert hands throughout the entire ordeal.
Fast forward to 2021, I'm trying to apply for a license and started getting stressed about my previous run-in with the law. I texted a quick question to Hieu and he immediately gave me a call and provided guidance. Talk about top-notch service even after 2 years since our last contact!!
Hopefully Hieu's and my paths never cross again for my sake lol, but you can tell that he has your best interests first! Thank you, Hieu!
