Professional and Extremely Helpful

I reached out to Andrew regarding an urgent case involving my family. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick turnaround in response time every single time I communicated with Andrew. It was not simply the fact that he responded to address that my email was received, but rather the detailed content t...hat really surpassed my expectations. Andrew was very thorough in delivering all of the viable options that were available for my family and I, and even took the time to follow up with me to ensure all of my questions were addressed. The level of professionalism and care Andrew displays is what I would look for in an attorney.

"Andrew is an attorney that you can trust and will have your back 100% if you retain him as attorney. I've gotten to know Andrew over the past few years and can vouch for him in that he will be honest with people/clients and go to bat for his clients. If you are an attorney that needs to refer to a transactional attorney or if you are a client that needs a transactional attorney, look no further than Andrew. He is also fluent in Korean!"

  • 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.
