Rex Tran
Attorney
Since becoming a member of the California Bar, Rex Tran has focused his practice on representing consumer debtors in bankruptcy.
We’re extremely grateful to Rex for his top class service. He made an intimidating process seem straightforward, was prompt in his response, had a very agreeable demeanor and was knowledgeable in his field to the n’th degree. Exactly what one would hope for in an attorney…a true professional. After courting another attorney with a large office and staff before meeting Rex, the difference was night and day in his favor…i.e. a much more personal and hands-on experience. I would recommend him highly to anyone going through the bankruptcy process.
Couldn’t of asked for a better lawyer and firm! Rex is the best! He is very accommodating, very attentive, and very reassuring. From the first time we walked into his office I knew we had made the right choice. I highly recommend Rex and his firm, as they are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly! Whenever we had a question regarding our case, I would email Rex and he would get back to me within the hour if not the half-hour!
If there were more than five stars, I would have selected more! If you want honesty, integrity, expertise and value in a bankruptcy attorney, look no further. Health issues got us to a place that our bills piled up to the point of being buried by them. Rex Tran and the team at Chen and Tran Law Office helped us to get out from under that pile and gave us room to breathe. Rex walked us through the process from start to finish and was by our side at every...
