What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
A well informed client is the best kind of client for a law firm. This is one reason I write and publish legal articles.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
We often review and comment on documents that our clients have prepared.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
We often coach clients who want to represent themselves. Sometimes we encourage clients to take this approach when we sense that it is a matter that they can handle without paying fees to a law firm.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
The practice of law has allowed me to help many people, which is the reason that I wanted to be a lawyer.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I know what it is like to start at the bottom and work my way up, which is what many of our immigration clients face when they arrive in America. This is also what many business owners do, and I have helped build companies from the ground up, so I know the issues that the business owner faces when starting and growing a business.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Business and immigration law are a natural part of being a lawyer for me. These practice areas fit together well, and the combination enables me to provide better service for our clients.
What do you like best about your career?
The most rewarding part of my career is helping business owners start and grow businesses, and bringing families together through the immigration process.
Tell us about your law firm:
My wife, who was a business woman in China when we met, works with me at our law firm. Our clients love her because she is so attentive to their needs. We have other lawyers and legal assistants who help with our cases, but I stay personally involved with all of our business and immigration clients.
What are your strengths and style?
My writing skills and analytical skills have helped me excel both educationally and professionally. I listen closely to clients so that I can understand their problems and concerns, and then I work with them to develop a plan to help solve those issues.
Personal Interests:
I enjoy reading, writing, and mentoring my teenage Chinese daughter with her high school classes.
