I have retained Cecilia Chen as my lawyer for my acquisition. She was recommended to me by one of my colleagues. My experience with her was excellent and Cecilia was very patient with me as she guide me through the entire process. I would recommend Cecilia Chen to anyone who is interested in business transition. 5 Stars! Thank you Cecilia.

I am so glad and gratified that I selected Cecilia Chen to represent me with the sale of my practice. Ms. Chen was so diligent in ensuring that my interests are well protected from the time the letter of intent was offered by the buyer to the long and arduous negotiations of arriving at a satisfactory practice sales agreement between the buyer and me. She was also instrumental in convincing the Landlord to free me from being a guarantor for the new buyer. I cannot thank her enough for the outstanding service she provided me. You cannot go wrong with Cecilia Chen.

We had the pleasure of working with Cecilia Chen in the recent sale of my dental practice on Kauai, Hawaii. We had initially planned to work with a local attorney, but after having some difficulty getting a response from him, we spoke to our Henry Schein transition broker, Christy Conway, and asked her for a referral. She immediately recommended Cecilia, and we are so grateful that she did!

Cecilia was very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible and easy to work with. She clearly had a lot of experience working with dentists, including DSOs. Cecilia helped us with four documents – the Letter of Intent, Asset Purchase Agreement, Lease, and Employment Agreement. She provided sound guidance and advice, in a very timely manner, and there was never a concern whether or not she was putting our interests first. She listened to our questions and concerns, simplified the legal jargon, and provided information and examples so that we could make a decision of how to best handle each situation.

The legal document review is just one part of the overall sale of the business, and is a process in itself. We had many document revisions between the attorneys, that included negotiations between the owners. We wanted someone who would consider the pros and cons, and would always represent our interests. This is just one of Cecilia’s strengths.

Looking back, we know that having Cecilia as our attorney made the experience a lot less stressful than we thought it would be. We don’t think we could have reached the finish line without her, especially in the short time frame that we had. For all of the reasons mentioned above, and many more, we strongly recommend Cecilia Chen if you are looking for an attorney to assist you with the purchase or sale of your dental practice.

Cecilia Chen is an absolutely awesome and an expert attorney. She was our attorney when we were trying to buy a dental clinic during this COVID era. She is very competent, has deep knowledge of dental industry, prompt and responsive, and extremely thorough!

She is focused on what is the best for her client even if that means walking away from a deal. She ensured that we do not enter a bad deal and helped us in buying a good clinic on great terms.
We strongly recommend her to anyone who is planning to buy a clinic.

Ms Cecilia Chen provided highly professional and personal service in my practice transition. I highly recommend her.

After four years in a private practice as an associate, I had to go through another negotiation with a new owner. Since Ms Chen helped me to guide and negotiate a favorable associate agreement with the previous owner of a practice, I once again, reached out to her for help. Not only she willingly accepted my request in her busy schedule, but also promptly demonstrated her ability to stand by me as her clientele with the utmost professionalism and ethics. I am thankful for all her contribution in dental practice transactions. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Cecilia Chen came very highly recommended for her legal services. Immediately, it was clear that she was deserving of the referral. She quickly laid out what was required for my practice transition and clearly communicated her reasonable fees. She was a wonderful advocate in dealing with the other party, going above and beyond to look out for my best interest. She was always quick to respond and my transaction was completed in a timely manner. I have already referred Cecilia to a colleague and will continue to do so in the future.

Just want to say how amazing Cecilia has been as my attorney. Cecilia helped me through a very complicated dental practice purchase. With her on my corner I always felt reassured that I had someone with experience and knowledge on my side. She helped me with every decision and ultimately in the end everything worked out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a practice as I plan to continue on using her services in the future. Dr. Suleiman.
