S Alex Liao

This ‘lawyer’ is a joke. He is the most irresponsible, greedy and disgusting individual I have ever encountered. At first, he would act like trustworthy, but once he got the case, everything changed. He didn’t do anything besides dragging on and on. I had to keep calling him for things; he just want easy money with minimal work, so when insurance company was hesitant to pay my claim, he told me «well, I probably cannot make much money out of this case, I am an attorney that charges X hundred dollars per hour, this is not worth my time, please go find another lawyer.» I was shocked by this. If it was super straight forward requiring only a letter then why I heck I need an attorney?! I tried to call him again, but he aggressively yelled at me then hang up the phone. So I had to sign the agreement to end the relationship with the Liao Law firm.
Luckily enough, I later got referred to a good law firm in Oakland from a friend, and the case was settled successfully.
Alex Liao was such a nightmare, please avoid this lawyer at all cost!!!

NEVER ever go with this lawyer.
Recently I heard this guy, Alex Liao, was on two Chinese radio (Sing Tao Radio & Sound of Hope Radio) advertising his business and giving advises to people. I really hope nobody else is as stupid as me to hire him for your car accident case. I never thought I’d write anything bad about anybody, but I just can not stand how he advertised himself over the radio.
Just to make my story short in writing this review. I had car accident 3 years ago and my case was obviously a «win» because even the police report stated the other party hit my car and I was sent to hospital by ambulance and car was towed. I found Alex Liao on the Chinese yellow page. I hired him and he recommended me (because I had never went to any chiropractic before) to go to Lock Chiropractic on De Anza Blvd San Jose. I went there for 3 months after the accident to adjust my neck and back. But I couldn’t go anymore because my insurance was max out and Dr. Lock wanted me to pay out of my own packet, so I decided not to go even though I still have problem with my neck and back (that’s another story about Dr. Lock)…
As you all know, you have 2 years to settle the case. Within these 2 years, Alex Liao never called me and never communicated to me about my case. 2 – 3 months before the case will be legally closed; I contacted him about the status. He told me that his assistant was gone and he had crash on his computer and lost all the email communication. AFTER I called him, he started contacting insurance company and negotiated with Dr. Lock to settle. All because he knew he would not get any money without a settlement. I was not satisfied with settlement amount to be only $ 5,560 (before paying lawyer fee, doc fee and medical expense). Alex Liao did not even bother to negotiate with insurance company. He basically told me that I can file in small claims court for max. $ 7,500 and he can represent me, but I have to pay for $ 375 claim filing fee.
I was not satisfied with Alex Liao. I was looking for another lawyer, but I only have 1 – 2 month left before closing the settlement. So my parents told me to settle the case and not to worry about this anymore. The funny thing is my friend also had car accident, but he did not get a lawyer first, he found Dr. Lock. Dr. Lock recommended him to Alex Liao. My friend ends up the same like me, an easy money contributed to Alex Liao’s pocket.
My recommendation is find somebody else, NOT Alex Liao EVER!
