Excellent Attention to Detail

I was very happy with Jeff's contract services and consulting! As I was interviewing multiple law firms to work with, Jeff immediately stood out from all the rest because he actually took the time to understand my need and my use case from the very beginning. He asked insightful questions and uncover...ed areas that I hadn't even thought of. He was able to tailor a contract that worked perfectly for my small business and was spot-on with the details. Jeff went above and beyond to help my small business and I am grateful for his professionalism and expertise. I'd recommend Jeff to any business owner.

Excellent Service!

Jeff Liang is the consummate legal professional. He is very sensitive to your particular needs and concerns, very forthright, listens well, and very knowledgeable with his advice. He is never pushy but gives you all the options to consider. He is very affordable and we highly recommend his service.... Please support small business owners like Jeff and you will receive the best service!

Efficient, knowledgable, convenient, affordable

I'm a busy professional who has been putting off estate planning for many years. This year I finally decided to go through with it. I chose Jeff because he a) had online booking options, b) was willing to do video calls, and c) charged for the consultation and credits it against his total flat fe...e (I've had many "free" consultations and I now believe that good attorneys should value their time). Jeff explained things very well, was fast and efficient, and even came to my office downtown to notarize and finalize the documents. He outlined the pros and cons of various choices. He also provides sealed envelopes and folders which are very convenient. I'd definitely recommend Jeff and would work with him again!

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
