Over and Above!

I used Jeff's services for my business last year and he was very responsive and helpful. Matter resolved and moving on. Fast forward to the 2020 Covid19 pandemic when we're all trying to figure out how to keep our businesses going through the shutdown. Three weeks ago I got a random email from Jeff l...isting out all of the resources we have access to and listing out exactly what needed to be done for each one. I can't begin to say how helpful this was and how kind it was in this difficult time that he thought to send this information to all his former clients. He has even continued to keep us updated as more things open up and rules change. Finding an attorney who is not only good at what he does but who actually cares about his clientele is pretty fantastic. I highly recommend Jeffrey Liang.

Worked well in COVID constraints

I sought legal help updating my will, including a special needs trust. Jeff was able to give advice and support via email. He was very responsive working in the constraints of the pandemic. Within two weeks my will was updated and signed (yes, signed with proper witnessing) and is in a bag waiting fo...r me to open it in more than three days. It gives me peace of mind.

Opened Company & Negotiated Purchase Agreement

Jeffrey has done several things for me: *Formed my Partnership LLC *Negotiated Purchase Agreement/Wrote Purchase Agreement *Wrote Selling Purchase Agreement It's been a crazy year for me but Jeffrey really helped me succeed. I paid Jeffrey to form my Partnership LLC for me and it was very smooth.... It was worth peace of mind to know we had all our ducks in a row and what steps were needed for a very fair price. Another family member decided to do Swift Filings and ended up missing licenses. My partner and I were having issues and had to have Jeffrey negotiate the purchase agreement (which was not easy). He let me know what my options were and helped me save thousands of dollars! It was nice to be able to ask him all the questions I had during a very stressful time. I recommend him to anyone starting a business, negotiating needs and for contracts. He is professional, responsive and priced fairly. Thank you Jeff!

Simplicity at its finest

I am someone who values spending time on my own work, it's what I do best and it allows me to pay for someones services, who is good at her/his job. Jeffrey Liang is really good at his job, my LLC was up and running within a few days after a brief phone-call, and a couple of documents to sign. He ...also shared some advice revolving my new LLC. I couldn't be happier over how quick and simple the process was!

Assistance with overbearing broker

Jeff worked with us to stratigize how best to handle a corporate broker who had become more focused on obtaining fees than actually trying to help us procure a good buyer for the company. His wisdom and restraint allowed us to continue on the process in the event that a good buyer might come along, ...and also contain the broker such that when we disengaged, we were not charged any surprise fees.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
