Attorney Chau is driven by his desire to create a better, safer, and happier future for all. Attorney Chau is also well versed in handling family law matterscivil litigation, and business escrows.

Attorney Chau began his legal career as a law clerk for a judge. There, he gained invaluable experience in advocating for his clients and how to achieve successful outcomes on their behalf. Following his clerkship, Attorney Chau realized that his passion lay in immigration law. He went on to work as an associate at Van Der Hout, Brigagliano, and Nightingale, LLP, a firm that has built a nationwide reputation for winning tough cases. During his time at the firm, he developed and refined his approach to immigration cases and had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in immigration law.

After leaving Van Der Hout, Brigagliano, and Nightingale, LLP, Attorney Chau joined the team at the Law Offices of Shamieh, Shamieh & Ternieden. At the firm, he strives to provide his clients with personalized legal services that are both competent and kind. He often seeks out creative solutions and is determined to see his clients through each stage of the immigration process.

Attorney Chau grew up in San Francisco before moving to Las Vegas, NV.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family.
