Cross-border Knowledge
Our founder, Lei Li, Esq., was born in China and later immigrated to Hong Kong and the United States after graduating from Peking University. She is licensed to practice law in California and New York, has passed the PRC National Judicial Examination, and holds the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) in Hong Kong.
Fluent in Mandarin (native), English, and conversational Cantonese, Ms. Li brings a strong multicultural and multilingual background to her practice. She has extensive experience in handling cross-border legal matters, with deep expertise in international estate planning, taxation, and succession strategies for both U.S. and non-U.S. clients
Personalization
Every family is unique. Your estate plan should reflect your personal circumstances and goals. A variety of factors can influence the design of your plan, including your family structure, the type and value of your assets, your children’s needs, and immigration or residency status. U.S. property and succession laws are highly complex. Without the guidance of an experienced attorney, it is difficult to create a comprehensive and effective estate plan. We are here to help you navigate these complexities. We will work closely with you to customize a plan tailored to your specific needs, and to ensure that your loved ones are able to receive your assets smoothly, efficiently, and according to your wishes.
Focus
Our practice focuses exclusively on wealth transfer planning. We specialize in creating a variety of trusts, including revocable living trusts and various irrevocable trusts designed for estate tax savings and asset protection. Additionally, we handle estate probate and trust administration matters related to wealth transfer. By dedicating all our resources and attention to this single area, we ensure that our clients receive the highest level of expertise and service—establishing us as a leading law firm in wealth transfer planning.
Affordability
We charge a flat fee for our revocable trust and will services. For irrevocable trusts, our fees depend on the complexity of the case. We may charge an hourly rate at a reasonable fee, a flat fee upfront, or a combination of both.
Flexibility
We offer weekend appointments to accommodate our clients’ schedules. For clients located in China, phone and video consultations with Attorney Lei Li can be arranged after regular business hours. You may visit us at our office or connect remotely via teleconference. If you have special requirements, we are happy to meet you at your home at no extra charge, limited to locations within Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties in California
Confidentiality
We are a boutique law firm dedicated to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality for your family and asset information. Unlike large firms, which often have many staff members involved, only the attorney directly handling your matter at our firm will have access to your sensitive information. Your privacy and trust are our top priorities.
