Best tax lawyer I have ever seen. I was running into some weird situation with FTB due to a mistake made on my tax. I was so stressed out and did not know what to do. After calling multiple places multiple times, I got was so lost on what to do until I found Sun J Chung office. While many other places billed me with huge fees and everything, but the suggestion I got from Sun J Chung was very simple and straightforward to follow. After a few mins call with her, I have to say it's the best suggestion I have received after receiving all the complicated answers from different places. Sun is much

I highly recommend Sun J Chung for any and all tax negotiation with the IRS. She successfully resolved my IRS case over the course of 18 months. While many larger tax firms advertise fair pricing I did not find anything better than her FLAT rate pricing. She tirelessly worked many months and always kept me updated during this stressful process for me. No one wants to be in a collection with the IRS. It's intimidating but Sun made me feel like everything was going to be ok. Now I have a monthly payment amount that my business can support

I was recently selected for a tax audit with the IRS which completely stressed me out in the beginning. I did some research online and quickly found Sun on Yelp. She gave me a free consultation over the phone and we started from there.
Her service was exceptional. She worked diligently on my case even on weekends due to the time sensitivity and she brought the filed forms along with her during vacation, so she could mail them out on the exact day. What a tremendous help she was!

A couple of years ago, I found myself in some degree of trouble with the IRS, and the amount I owed in back taxes was an astonishing amount to pay with the cost of living around here and given my meagre income. Obviously, I didn't want to speak with the IRS themselves, as the only thing they would say is "send your check, please".
So I found myself speaking with Ms. Chung about it. She was nice enough to offer an extensive consultation in which she explained the various options available to me and recommended a particular course of action. I never formally retained her beyond that

I put off finding an attorney to speak to about my small business tax issue because it felt like an overwhelming task. After putting it off for as long as I could, I found Ms. Chung on Yelp and decided to give her a call based on her excellent reviews. I chatted with her about my issue and she was very knowledgeable, took the time to really understand the nuances of my case, and I just had a good gut feeling that she was the one to help me. When we met, I was again, impressed by her level of expertise, professionalism and overall kindness. She took the time to explain things to me, was very honest

Very pleasant receptionist, but I could not get a return call from Atty Chung after 3 calls over 10 days. On the first call, I was told to leave all the details of my case on Atty Chung's voice mail. Which was kind of strange. On my third call, the receptionist said Atty Chung was not available, and asked if I preferred to leave a voice mail or an email. I asked if letting Atty Chung know that I had been calling for a while was an option. She said it was not. She said she wished she had the power to make Atty Chung return her calls, but as the receptionist, she did not, and that she

I came to Ms. Chung with a very complicated international tax situation, that was way above anything I could wrap my mortal head around. Frankly, I felt helpless not knowing what to do next.
Ms. Chung immediately gave me guidance, helped me understand what was involved, and most of all, had an infectious sense of calm that immensely helped me deal with an otherwise icky situation.
The situation was complicated, and kept on changing as I tried to clear up misinformation that had been given to me. Ms. Chung remained extremely patient, and worked through every change, kept me in the loop, and went

On time. Thorough. Walks you through the process, effectively and efficiently, explaining each step along the way.
I found Ms. Chung after an exhaustive search online for a lawyer with her specialty. She lives up to the many reviews.
Sun is very clear with her information and instruction to clients.
She responds to client contact very quickly.
Is very honest and upfront with her cost and billing, which are very reasonable.
Upon my request she even referred me to a CPA with whom I'm equally very happy with.
I hope I never have to, but if I did, I would use her services again in a heartbeat

Ms. Sun J. Chung Esq. was very helpful and courteous to me and my wife when we visited her office. I found her through Yelp after a internet search. Our examination case with an IRS auditor was fast approaching and we needed clear direction and guidance towards a successful conclusion of this pending audit. Ms. Chung provided that with a one hour session to discuss the contents of the IRS audit appointment letter and an overview of things to expect during the actual audit. She also put us at ease with the demeanor of the auditors of the IRS. She focused on the fact that the auditor is not going

Sun is not your typical shark lawyer seeking out your vulnerabilities and milking you for every dime you have.
She is passionate, knowledgeable, personable, patient and honest. I presented her with my case, she was very thorough in her explanation, walked me through the steps of her approach and educated me about the process along the way. I'd have to say she spent more than 1.5 hours talking to me and didn't charge me a dime, she even offered to answer my questions in the future. I did not end up retaining her services as I am looking for a tax lawyer/CPA. I would refer her to
