Colin C. W. Chew

 I was assigned Colin Chew for my attorney in my family law case. I went through legal aid because I have been a stay at home mom with my son for almost 2 years. I wondered what my lawyer would be like and if I had the chance with him that I would with a high priced lawyer on my own, which I could not afford anyway (not to bring offense to anyone, I'm just being honest about my thought process). My husband made me so reliant on him and completely cut me off after I left him for abuse. So I looked up Colin Chew's reviews online and I could only find one terrible review, which made me even more nervous. I figured I will meet with Mr. Chew, see what he is like and hope for the best. Well...to my surprise I walked into his office and saw a very well put together, friendly man smiling and shaking my hand. That first meeting was over 2 hours long. I felt comfortable and was able to be completely honest without feeling judged (I had been through a lot in the last month with my ex, assault charges pending, etc). I cried a little, laughed quite a bit, finding the humor in some of my situations, and I left my first meeting understanding a little more about family law and like I had just met a great man/lawyer. Yes, he is older as the other review states, but this does not affect his ability to defend his client or for me (a 30 year old woman) to relate to. Since then, I've been in contact through email and phone calls, asking questions. Mr. Chew has never made me feel rushed or like I was bothering him, or that my questions were dumb. To be honest I even made some phone calls for a second opinion to make sure the advice I was being given was correct, and yes, everything Mr. Chew has been explaining to me is 100% true (my case isn't the easiest). I now have 100% trust in my lawyer and am looking forward to meeting with him again today to get this case moving forward and one step closer to protecting my son, to my fresh start away from a toxic relationship and a new beginning. Thank you Mr. Chew for being so patient with someone who pushes and questions everything!!
