Hired attorney , anonymous Jun. 20, 2020

Highly Recommended

With such a big decision, I’m so glad that I made the right one by choosing Mr. Chang. The communication was outstanding, professional and the outcome more than I could have hoped for. At such a vulnerable time, I had other attorneys that I interviewed using fear tactics that almost worked. I had to put my trust in the intuition I had (as well as another good reference) that Mr. Chang was the best choice, and he was absolute perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Such an Amazing Attorney!

Mr.Chang is An Amazing Attorney,I was extremely scared with what I was charged with especially never being in trouble before with the law.He had so much patience with me( I sent a lot of emails with my concerns)... He responded very quickly and reassured me numerous times that he would get me the best possible result.which he did!no jail time,I would recommend this lawyer to anyone,and if I ever have anymore issues with the law which heaven forbid I do,he will be the first lawyer i contact Thank you Mr.Chang you have saved me and my family's future.

Won jury trial

I hired Mr. Chang for a very serious criminal case in Osceola county. I was kept informed of all matters pertaining to the case up until the time of trial. Mr. Chang showed incredible trial skills and the jury returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone charged in a criminal matter.

Very responsive!

We had a VOP case and Mr. Chang did exactly what we wanted which was to serve time. He was able to get the state to top out at a certain amount of time. He is very responsive in his emails, comments and uploading documents for your case. He also uses a website to do online pay, upload documents, etc. which was nice to have. If needed in the future, I would definitely hire him again.

Incompetent and uncaring.

Hired attorney Mike Hill (who mine as well be a state attorney himself) and ended up having Ernie on my case. My very first charge or experience in the criminal justice system. I had no idea the different options or outcomes, that is why you hire "competent" legal counsel. They failed to secure a good plea deal in my best interest to include adjudication...

Thank you for help 15 years later

In 2002 Mr.. Chang represented me in a federal case, in which he helped me get one of my charges dismissed and no time in jail. Fifteen years later I contacted him with questions about my case and how to best explain my charge to potential employers. With the clarification I received and good advice on how to move past my charge I feel more confident with my past and future. Thankfully he personally spoke with me at that moment and provided his valuable time and info to support me and I'm grateful for him then and now 15 years later!

Not Just An Attorney

More often than not, I'll assume that when you hire an attorney, they are just that: an attorney. Ernie is not only an exceptional attorney, he made me feel as comfortable with him as I do with my family, and to me, is also a friend. I never felt like Ernie sugar coated things or performed a "bait and switch" in any of my interactions with him. He was a straight shooter who ALWAYS kept me in the loop and ALWAYS kept me prepared. My case was not an easy one. It was very serious and the outcome was looking extremely bleak. Ernie worked very diligently to get me the best possible outcome but was never unrealistic. Ironically, my outcome turned out much better than even our best case scenario was thought to be. I would recommend Ernie to any potential future clients that want a dedicated attorney that is not going to oversell himself and then fall drastically short, an attorney that will be honest no matter the situation, and an attorney who actually cares for his client and not just looking for a "quick pay day". Thank you for everything Ernie! You made a huge difference in my case and I'll be forever grateful.

Hire a defender not a plead bargainer!

I was facing a 3rd degree DUI felony. Ernie got it reduced to 1st degree DUI misdemeanor. I interviewed 5 lawyers in Brevard county. Ernie was the only one that talked to me about taking my case to trial. He worked an aggressive offense on the strength of my case not the weaknesses. He didn't take the prosecutors first offer, instead he kept fighting for me. I was facing 5 yrs. I received no jail time. When your facing a felony, your 1st question to a lawyer should be how many cases have you actual gone to trial. He wasn't the cheapest lawyer but you get what you pay for. I was very satisfied with Ernie Chang and would highly recommend him on his results.
