Others who list this employer on the register
The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Law Offices of Chen & Associates”. We count that spelling with Law Offices of Chen & Associates, P.C., the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.
3 other attorneys list Law Offices of Chen & Associates, P.C. or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 1 of them was admitted before 2007. The 3 whose admission is closest to 2007, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially
For a statement of Wen Chen’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Third Department, which admitted Wen Chen in 2007. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to that department’s grievance committee (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).
This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026, and the court system’s own search can be newer; the register shows only the current value, so a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or a censure, leaves no trace here (Appellate Division decisions are published through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau).
