Michael NS Lau

I have had a good experience with Mr. Lau handling my First Level Appeal with the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC). While I do not yet know the outcome following the appeal, I do believe Mr. Lau put forth as good a case as anyone can in front of the Examiner. Mr. Lau helped me prepare for the ap...peal, put forth questions to me during the appeal itself, and summarized with closing arguments. He went through a lot of documentation I had collected, and picked relevant documents to be submitted as exhibits during the appeal. This step is important, and one where his experience comes forth, because you don't want to give too much information and overwhelm the Examiner or give too little. He effectively bridged the two domains, the one of my employment situation, and the other being the legal process to put forth my case in front of the examiner. The outcome needed to be a legally compelling story supported by evidence, and I'd say Mr. Lau was able to do that successfully. While working with him, I felt he was upfront, and there were no high-pressure tactics. Keep in mind that working with Mr. Lau is a two-way street - you have to be able to tell your story, allow the attorney to ask you probing questions, provide documentation, and just be honest and upfront without attempting to hide or alter any information. You have to help him, so he can help you.

Following a referral by the Bar Association, I had an initial consultation with Attorney Michael Lau regarding an Employment Law issue in Virginia. Michael gave initial recommendations on working with Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) with a more detailed consultation to follow later. Michael li...stened to me carefully, asked probing questions, and discussed pros and cons of my situation. I appreciated his thoughtful and logical approach to the conversation. There were no pressure tactics or rush to judgment, be it in my favor or otherwise. It was good to hear unbiased and realistic legal feedback. I would definitely recommend Attorney Michael Lau.

I sought legal counsel to help with an ongoing personal/employment issue that I was unable to clear up on my own. Michael answered the call and both provided counsel and representation as needed. I know that I couldn't have gotten the outcome I desired without Michael's help. Michael covers a wide ra...nge of legal services and whichever area you might be seeking assistance in, Michael is sure to be able to help. Thank you so much.
