BUCHALTER, A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION PRACTICE AREA : Labor & Employment Law and Litigation
I WANTED TO BECOME A LAWYER: Because my parents are Chinese immigrants, my career options were limited. I wasn’t interested in being a doctor, accountant or engineer, so the only career left was being a lawyer. I learned, only later, that there were other career options . . . MY ADVICE TO SOMEONE HIRING A LAWYER FOR THE FIRST TIME : Trust your instincts and hire the person whom you would trust to watch your kid—or dog or cat. THE CRAZIEST CASE I EVER WORKED ON: As a law clerk for a judge, I worked on a case where a prison inmate requested a reduction in his sentence. His brief was one of the most creative and persuasive legal briefs I had read that summer. Until that point, I had never seen statutory interpretation done in crayon. IF I COULD CHANGE PROFESSIONS FOR ONE DAY, I’D WORK AS A : Teacher. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts and explaining them in different ways to help people understand them. It is so gratifying finding creative ways to help people learn things, especially abstruse ones. I RELIEVE STRESS BY: Jogging. To me, it’s like a shower for my brain.
