• “[My fiancé] and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I wish there was a way I could repay you to the extent of the gratitude which I feel for you and your help, and I hope that if you ever find yourself in a crisis in life, that you will magnetize people to your aid who can save the day for you, as you have for me. I wish you my lasting gratitude!”
  -A.G. (Criminal defense client).
• “Thank you for all you[r] time, and for listening to me, and my case.”
  -H.R. (Cient who was falsely arrested).
• “As the one who steered R.B. in your direction, I would like to thank you for the way in which you engineered a successful resolution to his case. He, of course, is most grateful..”
  -C.B. (Referred client arrested for videotaping public officials and charged with interfering and disorderly conduct).
• “I wanted to take this opportunity to personally thank you! For your well done job that you did in defending me on the two cases that was filed against me. Secondly, I wanted to say how much I appreciated you believing me. Because I real did tell you the whole truth about this situation that I have found myself in! I never thought I would be here in jail while the true criminal is walking around free to do what ever he feels. Thank you Mr. Joun.”
  -E.S. (Client falsely accused of indecent assault and battery on a child).

  -R.M. (An OUI client).

The following testimonials are taken from “Client Reviews” at Avvo.com, an online directory of lawyers.

• “From what I understand, an outcome as positive as this was unusual, and unlikely considering the circumstances, but it seems that Myong represented me very well, excellently really, and I do not believe that there could have been any outcome as positive as this for me. Because of Myong, my health care is secure, my future is secure, and I thank him, eternally grateful for making this stressful headache go away. Had I hired a different lawyer, I could be in a very bad situation right now and my health could have started to decline, with no hope for getting better (as my conditions are very reactive to stress, and there was certainly enough stress to make my conditions worsen and deteriorate, just after they have finally gone into remission after 3 years of hard work.) This situation indirectly, had life and death possible-consequences for me, and I am convinced that, indirectly, Myong has been as much of a literal life-saver as the best of my doctors. I highly recommend Myong’s services to any person considering him, and I am thankful to him beyond words!”

• “Incredible lawyer! Myong was everything I needed in a lawyer and so much more! I was falsely accused of a crime I did not commit. Many lawyers wanted me to plea out. Myong was the first lawyer who took the time to listen to me. I mean REALLY listen to me. He then went to work for me. He was an expert. He filed motions for discovery, motions to dismiss and a motion to suppress. He fought for me like no one else would. After knocking out some of the charges on motions, he took the remaining charges to trial. Myong was a brilliant advocate who convinced a jury of my peers to find me NOT GUILTY on all charges. Myong has my highest recommendation. I will not hesitate to send my friends and family to him if they are ever in the awful position of being accused of a crime like I was. Thanks to Myong, I have my life back.”

• “Above & beyond. Myong was referred to me by the National Lawyers Guild, and even though I got in touch with him so close to my hearing date, AND he had an appointment at the time of my hearing, Myong went out of his way to accompany me to court and it was such an incredible relief. Once in court, Myong’s experience shined through. His comfort and knowledge navigating the court system was reassuring, and his expertise landed me the best imaginable outcome. He really went above and beyond the call of duty, and I’m forever grateful.”

• “A Conscientious, Capable, and Personable Attorney of Top-Level Professionalism and Character. Mr. Joun completely embodied what everyone prays to find in a lawyer – a highly capable, conscientious, and knowledgeable individual who does the best job possible for a client out of a top-level sense of professionalism and personal character. From the moment I first spoke with him, I felt personally comfortable and at-ease and became confident that he would have my best interests at heart and would responsibly and efficiently aid me in my situation (as opposed to other lawyers I contacted, including a well-known and advertised lawyer in the field who made me feel like a number and like he was more interested in collecting my fees than in helping me). When in personal face-to-face discussion, Mr. Joun was attentive, clear, professional, thorough, and open in explaining the details and process of my case, as well what would be required of me and the potential outcomes. He was thorough in his preparation and in preparing me for my court appearance. His fees were very reasonable, seemed fairly structured, and were based relative to the amount of work that was required of my case. He always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely fashion, whether by telephone or email. During my court appearance Mr. Joun presented himself with absolute professionalism and very effectively argued my side of the case. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel in his areas of expertise and if I were ever to need his services again I would not hesitate to use him.”

He was well versed in the law and was able to provide me with a clear direction to follow to bring my case to a favorable close. He truly works for his clients.

It’s good to know that there are great attorneys out there like Mr. Joun. Professional, knowledgeable, and passionate in their field and working hard for their clients! What more could you ask for.”
