He is a good lawyer and I could see his tireless efforts to serve his client with upmost quality of work. He paid attentions to all details and dealt with any problems promptly without any hesitations. I find that he is resourceful in the property matter (both at legal and practical issues) although he is also knowledgeable in certain corporate matters. As an in-house counsel, he brought his commercial perspective to his work. This quality distinguishes him from other lawyers. On top of that, from my experience, I can say that he is a trustworthy person.”
