I highly recommend Shim & Chang to anyone in need of a personal injury law firm. When I was severely injured in an accident, it was another attorney who recommended them to me. I was unfamiliar with the litigation process and not exactly sure I wanted to pursue it. My first meeting with Roy and Harvey changed my mind. They were very thorough in explaining each step in terms that I could understand. By the time I left that first meeting, I trusted them to move forward with my case if they thought it was viable. Harvey took over from there, and he was great to work with. He has enthusiasm and integrity

The attorneys of the law firm Shim and Chang are excellent, helpful, trustworthy, compassionate and conduct their business with integrity. Shim and Chang are not a law firm looking only to make money.
Rather, Shim and Chang showed me they truly cared about me as a person and client, as they helped me receive a fair settlement for my personal injury claim.
Mahalo to attorneys Harvey and Victoria for helping me to see my case through to its completion.
I highly recommend this personal injury law firm.
Thank you Shim and Chang for your continued excellence and dedication in helping the people

I had a great experience with Shim & Chang. I was injured in a moped accident and needed help with making sure all my medical bills were taken care of. Harvey was my lawyer, and he was excellent. He was very efficient and knowledgeable, and broke down every piece of what was happening in terms that I could easily understand so I knew what was going on. With the help of Harvey everything was settled and I was compensated for my injuries as well. Sharon at the front desk is also very sweet and helpful, she is very kind and also gave me a lot of information during the whole process. Overall I was

When the condo owner living above us caused water damage to our condo, we were displaced for nearly two months. When his insurance carrier refused to compensate us for the inconvenience and the temporary housing cost, we hired the law firm of Shim and Chang to help us.
They were easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and very professional. They put together a complete claim package showing the damage to our condo and listing the additional costs we had to incur through no fault of our own. Because they were so highly respected by the other side’s insurance company, they were able to resolve our claim

I was injured while on vacation in Hawaii and actually was referred to Shim and Chang by an attorney that had litigated against them in the past. I was told that if she were in my position that is who she would contact. Immediately that was a plus and a relief for me as I live in Arizona and had no idea where to start. I received a call from Harvey who asked pertinent questions regarding the incident. Immediately I was impressed by his honesty- he wanted to make sure we had a case before going forward- and his thoroughness in the questions he asked. After a couple of conversations, Shim and Chang

We called to see if this attorney could help us with the claim regarding a city and county injury. We are not the suing type however dozens of people, including another attorney said we need to do something because we have a strong case. After the attorney reviewed the brief description that his assistant wrote down he said he is unable to help us because he doesn't believe there's a strong enough claim. After asking him to further elaborate it came down to the fact that it wasn't a shoe in and dealing with City & County is challenging. After asking if he wasn't up for challenges he was offended

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our case and have Shim & Chang to thank for it.
Our case was a difficult personal injury case. Never having been a party to a legal matter like this, we had no idea what to expect, but from the beginning, the attorneys explained every step of the process, in terms that we understood. They were professional, responsive, patient, thorough and most importantly, realistic.
We were treated with courtesy and respect by both the attorneys and their staff. We highly recommend the firm to anyone looking for exceptional representation on a personal injury case

As a law abiding citizen, I had never envisioned a need for an attorney until I was rear-ended. Searching for an attorney wasn't a problem for me because I had heard a lot about the law firm of Shim and Chang. Mr. Chang is someone you will immediately feel comfortable with. In a short period of time, my anxieties had lessened because of his calm demeanor. Due to his reputation and years of court experience, my case was resolved in a timely manner and I was extremely happy with my settlement. Thank you, Mr. Chang!
