Ada P. Lam
Principle Lawyer
I work with my clients to develop strategic plans tailored to their goals, budgets and concerns. It’s a practical approach to litigation.
Although I can be aggressive in court when necessary, my approach is results-oriented and strategic. I want to find the best solutions and results for my clients while working within their business or personal constraints.
