Gray Account

James Liu was not only professional but compassionate when dealing with my case. If I sent an email or called for any reason, he was prompt with his reply. I never once felt like my case was not important to him. I would highly recommend James.

the good news only comes through an excellent attorney

Attorney Liu helped me understand my debt problems, alleviate those problems, and put a big smile on my face. He definitely goes the extra mile. He is now assisting me with buying a home. Thank you!

Avvo Rating

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.
