Now, as the principal and attorney at Protea Legal Co., my practice is focused on design patents, branding, and business protection.
My interests outside of work include art, design, social justice, and hiking the Pacific Northwest with my pup.

Highly recommended!
I'm so grateful that Jia helped me craft a terms and conditions agreement for my digital business. Working with her was a breeze and she delivered the agreement really fast. Highly recommended!

Thank you Jia!!
Jia helped me write a custom contract for an important business transaction, which gave me the peace of mind I needed. Working with her was a pleasant and professional experience and I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer.
"Jia is an extremely thoughtful and creative person, first and foremost, which aids in making her a great attorney. She approaches each matter with a "can-do" attitude and an enthusiastic passion for her client's goal(s). Accordingly, I emphatically endorse both Jia, the lawyer, as well as Jia, the person."
