Clients say Vy makes complicated problems simple.

  • Lawyer Vy Truong was very helpful to me. He explained complex documents thoroughly. He talks very clearly, and is great with time management, but also very reliable. If you are Vietnamese, I highly recommend him to translate documents, or if you need help with the green card process. I have been a client with him when I first came to America until now when I buy a home, he still does a great job. A kind and knowledgeable man. The staff at the office are very welcoming as well.

  • I cannot say enough about Attorney Vy Truong. He is a very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring attorney who went above and beyond my expectations. Attorney Truong has helped me with quite a few legal issues since 2019, and recently finished helping me to settle my complicated and stressful divorce. He is friendly to work with and always delivered positive results. He was very timely and professional in all of his responses. With his ability to negotiate and communicate effectively with other parties involved in my cases, he was able to move the legal process forward and gain both the respect and cooperation of other parties involved, while continually helping me to understand the legal processes and do what was in my best interests. I always feel I was in such good hands during the entire processes. He has helped me in so many ways in the past 5 years and cannot thank him enough for all he has done. Attorney Truong is an extraordinary and excellent attorney who I would highly recommend to anyone (especially Vietnamese clients) who needs compassionate, supportive, and knowledgeable counsel.

  • Attorney Vy Truong provided outstanding counsel and support throughout my real estate closing. As a first-time homebuyer, I was grateful for his patience and clear explanations at every step. His expertise, attention to detail, and steady communication made everything straightforward and stress-free. I truly appreciate his help. His thorough diligence, clear explanations of the documents, and proactive coordination with everyone involved made the process smooth and on time. I appreciate how he protected my interests and kept me informed at every step. I’m grateful for his professionalism and will highly recommend him.

  • Attorney Vy is amazing. Explains concepts clearly and is respectful and passionate. Will definitely be going to him for future home closings!

  • Attorney Truong and I have been working with each other for 8 years. I do feel bad for waiting this long to give him a 5 star review. He is an excellent real estate attorney, and who is always meticulous and organized with his work. Can't speak highly enough of him. He goes way beyond his duties as a seller or buyer's counsel. With him, when things go awry, I don't feel left 'hanging'. Thank you for always being consistently MAGNIFICENT!

  • My absolute go to for emergencies, closings, landlord/tenant disputes, and immigration proceedings for a family member, to name a few. Attorney Vy really looks out for his clients and he has made every step of the way as seamless as possible. His magic touch and years of experience has helped turned my many burdens into reliefs. He is an asset to me as much as he is to the community. Definitely recommend!

  • We hired Attorney Vy Truong (no relation) for our initial closing of our house and the 2nd time when we refinanced our house for a lower interest rate. Both times we were completely satisfied with his services. He kept us informed of every step and process as well as thoroughly explaining each document before we signed it. It’s rare to find an attorney that also understood the requirements of using the VA loans. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with how the process went. We will continue to use Attorney Vy Truong for all legal matters and we will continue to recommend him.

  • I highly recommend Attorney Vy Truong for his outstanding service and expertise.

For anyone in need of a reliable and effective lawyer, Attorney Vy Truong is an excellent choice.

  • I have known Attorney Truong as a fellow attorney for over 12 years. We worked closely together as attorneys on a difficult case part of which ended up before the Supreme Judicial Court. He has also wisely counseled me on two personal legal matters. In one instance making suggestions that ended up in a very favorable result in a very difficult matter. It simply would not have happened without his sage advice. I will be forever in his debt.
