Albert C. Lum Founding Partner | Attorney Albert J Lum Partner | Attorney Jenny Ding Senior Paralegal Roland Diaz Paralegal [ Meet Our Team ](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/lum-law-group/) ## Important Things You Should Know about Lum Law Group What types of legal cases does Lum Law Group handle? We are a multi-generational boutique law firm with three core focus areas: Immigration Law (including visas, Green Cards, and deportation defense), Intellectual Property( trademarks, copyrights, and creators’ rights), and General Counsel services for small-to-medium-sized businesses. We bridge the gap between business needs, IP protection, and immigration law to offer a holistic approach to your legal hurdles. [ Get Started ](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/contact-us/) Who are your typical clients? Our clients range from individuals and families navigating the complex U.S. immigration system to Los Angeles-based content creators, influencers, tech startups, and established local businesses who need robust legal protection and strategic advice. [ Get Started ](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/contact-us/) Can you represent me if I don't live in Pasadena or Southern California? Yes. While we are proud to be based in Pasadena and serve the Greater Los Angeles community, U.S. Immigration and Intellectual Property (such as federal trademark registration) are matters of federal law. This allows us to represent clients nationwide and internationally. However, our ongoing General Counsel and business formation services are generally tailored for businesses operating within California. [ Get Started ](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/contact-us/) What happens during an initial legal consultation? Every new case begins with a comprehensive, one-hour consultation with one of our experienced partners. We will review the details of your situation, provide a transparent assessment of your legal options, and outline a strategic path forward. The consultation fee is fully credited toward your legal fees if you choose to retain our services on the same day. [ Get Started ](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/contact-us/) Does Lum Law Group charge by the hour or use flat fees? To provide our clients with financial predictability, we utilize transparent flat- rate pricing for the majority of our immigration applications and intellectual property filings. For complex business litigation or ongoing outside General Counsel services, we will clearly outline our billing structure during your consultation so there are never any hidden surprises.
