I HIGHLY recommend Hogan at Song Family Law. Hogan is extremely educated, knowledgeable, and professional.
Mr. Song explained the process, as we moved forward through each phase, in a very calm and thorough manner; he assisted me in making the best decisions in a situation where I would have otherwise had no idea what to do.
Hogan returned all my calls in a timely manner and answered all questions thoroughly. He was direct and to the point when necessary but also offered options when available.

These reviews for Mr. Song are spot on. My divorce was just finalized and I was very fortunate to have Mr. Song represent me most of the way. I had initially hired another attorney, who had put me into a bind, and things weren't looking good for me. A friend of mine suggested I speak with Mr. Song regarding my case. Mr. Song gave me very good suggestions, and it was then that I asked him to represent me. After that, the whole tide changed and things started looking more favorable for me. I was very happy with the result of my divorce, and how I ended up faring.

I recently got married and had a lot of questions regarding what it meant to be married from a legal standpoint. I had questions regarding finances, property, divorce and even prenuptial agreements. Hogan took his time explaining exactly how my life finances would change once I got legally married. He is very prompt at returning phone calls and emails. He is an expert at what he does, I really appreciate the services that he provides. I recently also referred him a friend of mine that is going through a divorce and she had nothing but good things to say about Hogan as well.

I recently had a divorce after almost two years of process, requiring immigration help, and knowledge encompassing Japanese family law as well as California family law. He is caring, fair, patient, affordable, and very thorough and knowledgeable. He returns phone calls and emails promptly. He explains all questions and concerns with kindness and professionalism. I believe I could not have had a better attorney. I would recommend Hogan to anyone who needs legal representation.

The single 1-star review was posted by my soon-to-be-ex husband who is not a client of Mr. Song. I am the person who Mr. Song is representing in my divorce, and I have nothing but the highest praise for his services. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is also very patient and clearly explains all my options. He always responds to my questions quickly. He is affordable and efficient. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with a family law issue.

What a privilege it is to work with Mr. Song. His knowledge and expertise in Law is extensive and he is so patient and kind when working with his clients! He fights to protect his clients and spends the time to ensure that you understand the process each step of the way. Family Law can be emotional and challenging in so many ways and is it so refreshing to work with an attorney who is on your side from the start and fights to ensure that his clients come out on top!

Divorce is always a stressful thing to go through. I also happened to be gong through the more significant loss of my child due to cancer when I found myself in need of an attorney. It was important to me to find someone with integrity, who was knowledgeable and who would be looking out for my best interest. I found all of that in Hogan Song. He addressed all of my concerns and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He made the whole process as painless as possible. If you need an attorney who is as compassionate as he is efficient, Hogan Song is your guy.

I had a friend that was in the middle of a divorce and not happy with his representation. I put him in touch with Hogan whom I have known for a number of years. Within an hour of Hogan's free consultation, my friend was so impressed that he asked him to take over his case. My friend has told me, many times over, that Hogan was the best thing that could have happened to him during his most stressful time in this life.

I contacted Hogan Song based on the yelp reviews. He was very prompt in getting back to me and calling me at a specified time. He seemed very kind and compassionate, also very knowledgeable, helping me understand different options. He seems quite affordable compared to others out there with less favorable reviews and if i had the money i would definitely want him as my lawyer. Thanks so so much

I was lucky enough to choose Mr. Song after reading many great reviews and it did not take long to see why so many have such high praise for his service. Like many, I was dealing with a very stressful and difficult family law issue with a less than reasonable ex. Hogan immediately put me at ease with his confident and straightforward assessment of my case, I received straightforward and honest support from Hogan throughout the entirety of my case. Hogan was always available to answer my emails, texts or calls, and never once did I feel like I was just another case on his list. I would, and will

I had a 30-minute phone consultation with Hogan today. He was prompt calling in, and also responding via Yelp messaging. His advice was helpful, honest and genuine. At one point he even suggested that a concern could be handled without an attorney-- such honesty is refreshing and surprising. He also has a good amount of knowledge about past cases, and it was clear he had a good sense of family law, and the particular issues I brought up. I'm still gathering information, but based on our consultation, I would say he is someone with whom I would work well.

I consulted Hogan Song in some custody support issues. He was very knowledgeable in the area of divorce and custody support. His guidance and direction helped me greatly, even beyond what I expected. His rate was very affordable and can't believe he only charged me what he did. For any future issues that come up (I'm sure there will be more), I'll be sure to contact Hogan.

I had a challenging case and consulted with Mr. Hogan Song. He was responsive and answered my numerous questions. I admit I'm demanding and not the easiest person to deal with, but Hogan was always pleasant and professional and clearly explained my options objectively. He thoroughly reviewed my documentation and provided a realistic strategy, so there were no surprises. Best of all, the outcome was favorable and I was satisfied. I'd absolutely recommend Hogan.
