Lawyer Reviews:

Below is a heartfelt review from a recent bankruptcy client. Additional reviews are on Yelp.

This is my experience with Ann N. Nguyen a very savvy and dedicated lawyer practicing out of Oakland.

I recently had a great experience concerning a very involved stressful legal matter.

Just a bit of background:

I was very ill and almost died. At the time we were going through some tough financial times. My wife had not been able to stay employed, it really was the beginning of the economic downturn. I don't make a lot of money and we had gotten into some serious debt. After struggling for some time through my illness and against the tide of overwhelming bills I was ready to throw in the towel. I knew a bankruptcy would be my only way out of this mess. Reluctantly I decided to seek help.

At first meeting her, I immediately felt comfortable and she seemed to be quite personable and professional. We discussed the case and I thought her fee was perfectly reasonable. Never during this time period between consultation and the hearing did I ever feel pressured about the money which was a great relief after what we had been through.

Ann was very attentive to details every step of the way which was quite reassuring. I felt like I was in good hands and with someone who really cared. There was never a glitch in the process at anytime. She had a habit of double checking and continually updating pertinent information as we went through the process. She was also prompt and on time at every meeting.

Everything went absolutely smooth and I would ask for Ann's assistance in any legal matter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone with a legal matter. I hear she's an avid Snow boarder also and gave up going professional to work in law so, her hip factor is +10!
Thank you Ann...and that's from my heart.

ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY REVIEWS:

Ann was extremely patient and comforting in answering all my questions about the bankruptcy process and explained the pros and cons of filing and which chapter made the most sense.

My situation was complicated with a business and multiple properties and Ann made it very easy and her rate was reasonable and her service was great. I would gladly refer anyone I know to her.

Meeting Atty Ann Nguyen in time of my family crisis was a great blessing. She has been very professional, knowledgeable, straight forward and yet still capable of expressing compassion.  After knowing of my situation, I did not have to asked but she voluntarily gave up a big chunk of her legal fees.  I also admire the fact that she did my paperwork right away in front of me.  So when I left her office I felt like she has unloaded my big burden and brought back my peace of mind.  Whenever I have questions and concerns, she communicates in a haste either via phone call or email.
On my  court hearing I met Atty Phan.  I was upset and really sad.  Her sincerity and reassuring gentle words, "Don't worry, it is over", and finished with a sweet smile comforted me. The year long ordeal I went through was like a nightmare but having good people to lean on is definitely a huge help for survival.  Thank you so much Atty Nguyen and Atty Phan.  I would highly recommend your excellent service.

My experience with Ann N. Nguyen was extremely positive.  During our first meeting, she gave me a very precise step by step description of the bankruptcy process; her counsel was thoughtful; she responded to questions in an unhurried manner. She has my recommendation and I will go back to her if I need legal services again.


Ann's a great lawyer. She tells you how it is.Gives you great advice. Listens and answers your questions thoroughly. You don't feel rushed. And the first consultation is free and you get to talk to her. You get to talk to a real lawyer not some gurl who thinks she is a lawyer just cause she works at a law firm.

Ann N. Nguyen, most patient, intelligent lawyer I ever met.  Helping my 80 yr old mom through bankruptcy!  Talked and walked my om through the entire process. 
With Ann's help, my mom, was able to complete the whole process.   I can not thank her enough. As I am on the East Coast unable to assist my mom.  She is the best!!!!!!!   Thank you!!

I found Anne very thorough and efficient in handling my case after I had to dismiss another attorney for negligence.  The office rates were fair and she was cognizant of every detail as it related to my case, which led to a successful resolution of my problem,  I would recommend this office highly.

Ann took care of my case well and her price was very reasonable.

Ann is very professional, knowledgable, and kind! She helped me with every aspect of my bankruptcy case and took her time until I understood what was being done. She was never pushy and always respectful. I would recommend her to anyone who wants the best lawyer in town. She put her heart and mind into my case and I was very pleased with the results. I don't just consider her my lawyer, she is my friend and I'm glad she was there to represent me. Her legal knowledge is superb and she knows the law very well. ! Thank you Ann.


I had a personal legal matter that I needed help with recently. I was really nervous and scared, as things that deal with the law usually make you feel that way. I was referred to Ann and consulted with her. She heard me out and helped me with my case. I was very pleased with the outcome. She also seemed very understanding that I didn't have much income, and seemed to know where I was coming from. Her fees were more than fair. I will be going back to her if I ever need legal services again.
