History

Established in 1973.

The Lau & Lau Law Group was originally formed by Edward Lau, a prominent Chinese lawyer in San Francisco. His son, Steven Lau, joined the firm in 1994.

The Firm prides itself in being hard working and dependable. It strives to garner trust from its clients with the competence to get the job done while at the same time remaining cognizant of accruing legal fees. The Firm realizes that litigation is expensive and tries to seek a balance between legal fees and success by actively seeking out less costly and intrusive alternatives to dispute resolution.

The Firm’s lawyers are experienced courtroom litigators, and are not afraid to go to Court. Most cases settle before going to trial. In obtaining the best settlements for clients, it is important to have a firm that is not afraid to go to trial should negotiations fail. Often times the mere threat of litigating a case at trial is enough to encourage a favorable settlement.
