Professional, Aggressive, Passionate, and Ethical.

People often ask me how I can defend criminal for a living. My answer is always, as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. I vividly remember as a child sneaking down after everyone had gone to bed to watch reruns of the original Perry Mason. I was awestruck that in every episonde Perry Mason would find the real culprit of the crime, most often not his client. He fought with such vigor and intellect, that I dreamed of growing up to be him. Most attorneys will tell you they became a lawyer beacuse they wanted to help others or to change the sytem. For me though, it was a desire to ensure justice was done and the right person was convicted, just like Perry Mason.. I love what I do for a living, and each day I wake up knowing I get to do it again is a joy. However, being a lawyer is not the only thing I enjoy. When I am not in the office or a courtroom you can find me on the golf course. Although, my golf game could use a great deal of polishing I still love to play. I am also an avid baseball fan. Growing up in rural Wisconisin I bleed blue for my beloved Milwaukee Brewers. However, since moving to Minnesota I have started to follow the Twins almost as closely as I follow my Brewers. When time allows I love nothing more than the taking in a baseball game. The sounds of the crowd, the excitement of the long ball, and that sweet sound of ball hitting glove when a pitcher burns one across the plate striking out the opposing teams best hitter. It is the simple things in life that make for the best days.. While I love being on the golf course, in the the baseball stadium, there is nothing I love more in this world than helping my clients. If you have been accused of a crime call me and let me help.

In or out of the courtroom, my ability to share a compelling story is a skill I use to advocate for clients facing problems with a former or current employer. Prior to law school I honed those skills as a television news anchor and reporter with CBS and FOX affiliates in Michigan and worked with a South African national news network in Cape Town and Johannesburg.. At my law firm, Haller Kwan LLP, I represent employees who have been treated illegally in the workplace. My empathy for workers was nurtured from an early age. My father is an immigrant from China. He arrived with the proverbial ‘nothing but the clothes on his back.’ To him, work was the only path to a better life and – quite frankly – dignity. To this day, my father serves as a role model for my advocacy.. I work hard to put my clients first, and at ease. To me, it’s personal. Spending extra time to ensure a client understands the legal process, making the additional phone call or sending the detailed email, are all part my commitment to help my clients reclaim their dignity and move forward with their lives.. I am the President on the Executive Board of the Minnesota Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and maintain close ties to the Twin Cities media community socially and as a contributing columnist at Minnesota Lawyer. And, from time to time, if you’re lucky, you’ll find me slinging chop suey at my family’s Chinese restaurant in Eden Prairie.
