About Us

 
 
It’s what separates mediocre attorneys from excellent attorneys. Laws are written in black and white but understood and applied in shades of gray. Laws, after all, must be deciphered, decoded, construed, and interpreted. The law changes constantly. If legal disputes were black and white, if it were clear who was going to win in advance, there would be little reason to pursue the dispute – and little need for lawyers. Every issue, large or small, can be resolved creatively and efficiently – you only get that which you and your attorney can successfully negotiate. Not every lawyer looks for creative solutions to problems because such solutions may short-circuit his or her billable hours.

As a Wilson & Chan client, your interests are always foremost in our mind. We focus on the larger picture in evaluating legal disputes against potential legal fees. We see the big picture by advising clients to implement measures to minimize their risk exposure – before the fact. Unlike other law firms, we strive to ground our advice on your best interests, not our fees. It has been our experience that clients who achieve efficient results at a minimum of expense are clients who will seek us out again. A lawyer who ignores the big picture, who sees only the traditional black and white issues, can never provide as much value as one whose approach is more visionary and grounded in the client’s success.

Somewhere along the line, it seems, too many lawyers forgot that their profession exists to assist their clients, not the other way around. Our focus on our clients’ success guides everything we do.

That’s Vision. That’s Wilson & Chan.
