One of the benefits of being a small law firm is that you will receive personal, devoted one-on-one attention from me. I will see your case from the initial consultation to its conclusion. You will receive prompt notifications regarding the status of your case. I will return your calls and reply to your emails within the day, and I will be by your side to ensure comfort throughout the daunting legal process. Growing up in a blue-collar home, I can appreciate what is it like to work hard for a living. Being raised in my family’s small business, I experienced first hand what it was like to work twelve hours a day, seven days a week. I understand you work hard for your money, which is why I make this promise to you: at the Law Office of Tony Huynh, you will get my devoted professional law services at an affordable rate. Originally from Lynchburg, Virginia, I moved down to Greensboro, North Carolina to pursue law school at Elon University School of Law. My initial plan was to move back to Virginia following graduation but after living in the Carolinas for the past several years, I have grown to love the surrounding area and decided to open up my own practice here in Greensboro, North Carolina. Outside of practicing law, I have pursued and graduated with my Masters of Business Administration from Elon’s Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. To relax from the stress of practice and studying, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the Greensboro Hopper’s Baseball games with friends, and working out at the local Crossfit boxes.
