"The only way to do great work is to love what you do" - Steve Jobs
I aim to live a life of meaning. I am motivated by doing what is right and what is fair. And I believe in following your passion - in work and in life. I only work on the areas of law that I am passionate about. My personal experiences and hardships have groomed me to be the lawyer that I am today. Genuine partnerships are best formed through consistent updates and clear-cut explanations. So, know that at my firm, you're always in on the plan and the strategy behind it. Being a good attorney is as much about your ability to explain the law to your clients as it is about implementing the legal process in a trial. Therefore, I make thorough explanations a top priority. Client education is simply the first step to success. As a child of an immigrant, my experience has motivated me to have a unique appreciation for what immigration status in this country means. I understand that such a status is not just an Alien Number. It's the livelihood of an entire family tree. I still remember the night when our plane landed in Sacramento International Airport and I walked for the first time on U.S. ground. As a person who at the age of 19 was wrongly charged, convicted, and imprisoned, I have a unique appreciation for freedom and fighting for those accused of wrongdoing by our criminal justice system. In my opinion, the Rodney King case helped O.J. Simpson trial, and O.J. Simpson trial hurt many cases after. I saw with my own eyes how Lady justice is sometimes too blind. I love the ability to give a voice to the accused, and the responsibility of protecting their rights. As a business owner & operator of businesses for over two decades, I understand that your business is the means by which you provide for your family and; in some cases, your entire saving in past and for the future._ I believe in giving back to the community and helping the next generation overcome their obstacles. I have been invited to speak to various schools, and seminars, and stay active in community outreach programs.
