As a young lawyer, I bring a wealth of enthusiasm, zeal and confidence to the firm.

My preferred practice areas are civil litigation and personal injury. By being involved in both departments, I am able to serve a variety of different clients: from corporations to members of the public. I pride myself on my ability to connect with my clients, regardless of age, wealth or knowledge of the law.

I feel that a lawyer’s role is not just to advocate but to also bring a sense of closure to one’s legal problems. I am empathetic and compassionate, and at the same time, persistent and dedicated. My fluency in Cantonese will also allows me to service Chinese clients who may have difficulty with the English language.

Away from the firm, I try to keep myself as active as possible. I enjoy playing soccer, working out, and trying to hit a straight golf shot.
