There’s nobody I know that is more knowledgeable than James, and I spoke to a bunch of nonprofit attorneys. He is extremely knowledgeable . . . and way far advanced. . . . I appreciate his help! – J ★★★★★
I’ve worked with James on several high profile projects, and trust him to have my back and get the job done. He continues to impress me with intuitiveness and sense of organization…. He will move mountains for you. – K.D. ★★★★★
Mr. Hsui was tremendously helpful in aiding with the resolution of a strained cooperative venture between my family in China and their associates in New York…. Mr. Hsui’s insight and resourceful autonomy has demonstrated… we would not have been able to achieve the same results without his expertise. – S.W. ★★★★★
Mr. Hsui obviously cares… He spent a lot of time answering my questions and then recommended I NOT hire him…. I am impressed with Mr. Hsui’s abilities and his character. If my legal concern were in his state then I would hire him in a New York minute! – S.S. ★★★★★
We agreed on a fixed-fee to follow up on a business partner’s promises, thinking it would take weeks…. But the partner was evasive and it took months. James tracked him down, waited outside his building and negotiated a great outcome. I offered to pay more for his effort but James honored the fixed-fee. – N.O. ★★★★★
