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.

Professional, Easy to work with, Very satisfied

I consulted with Jeff for estate planning. Jeff is a pleasure to work with- approachable, friendly, good at understanding my particular goals and needs, knowledgeable and has helpful suggestions. Overall it was a straightforward, easy and professional experience. I went on recommendation from a frie...nd, and am now happy to recommend Jeff to others.

Estate Planning: Super helpful and knowledgable...great experience and value!

After reading several reviews and having at least two other consultation meetings with attorneys to help us with our estate planning needs (e.g. a revocable living trust, wills for me and my wife, health directives, etc.), we went with Jeff due to his immediate grasp of our situation and his sensible... approach (i.e. he provided us with our options, as well as a recommendation--we never felt he was trying to 'up-sell' us--which was a vibe we got from other attorneys). We have a complex situation (e.g. a couple LLCs, rental properties, kids from previous marriage, etc.) and Jeff was able to propose approaches that addressed our situation. Perhaps most importantly, Jeff was incredibly patient and helpful in answering our questions about the specific (if not arcane) legal terms, tax mitigation approaches, etc. that were part of the process. He was thorough and professional while being friendly and approachable. We never felt rushed through the process and felt we received very good value for the price he charged. With Jeff, we feel like we've found "our attorney" we can go to for future legal needs.

Wonderful experience

We hired Jeff to review our Will, Living Will and Power of Attorney, which were prepared using an online service. His review was very detailed and his recommendations were spot on. Jeff was very easy to work with and we highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended! Will definitely use for all future business needs

Mr. Liang was extremely helpful in forming my business. He was very communicative, personable, and professional throughout the whole process. I felt completely comfortable trusting him with my legal needs and will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
