Referral Partners
& Co-Counsel

You handle your client's US matter. We handle China. Bilingual, ILCC-direct, attorney-supervised β€” the cleanest way to solve your Hague Convention problem.

The Only South Florida Attorney
With Direct ILCC Access

Every year, US attorneys lose time, money, and clients because of failed or delayed service of process in China. Whether it's using invalid methods (FedEx, email), routing through slow traditional channels, or simply not knowing the requirements β€” China service is where cases stall.

The Core Problem You're Solving

Your client needs a Chinese defendant served. You know FedEx won't work. The USMS Hague route can take 12–18 months. And your court's service deadline is 90 days away. That's where we come in.

Hao Li, Esq. holds a direct account in China's Ministry of Justice ILCC system (ζΆ‰ε€–ζ°‘ε•†δΊ‹εΈζ³•εεŠ©η³»η»Ÿ) β€” the official electronic platform for Hague Convention service requests. This means:

  • Electronic submission (not paper mail through USMS)
  • Real-time status tracking in the MoJ system
  • Direct follow-up capability with Chinese officials
  • Certified in-house Chinese translation
  • Official Certificate of Service valid in all US courts

We work professionally and discreetly. You remain primary counsel. We handle China.

All referral fee arrangements are structured in compliance with Florida Bar Rule 4-1.5(f) and applicable rules in the referring attorney's jurisdiction. Referral fees require written agreement, client disclosure, and total fee reasonableness. We handle the paperwork.

How It Works

  • You refer a client with a China-related matter
  • We assess and quote the client directly (or through you)
  • Written referral fee agreement executed (if applicable)
  • Client disclosure made per applicable bar rules
  • We handle the China work; you handle US proceedings
  • Referral fee paid at matter conclusion

Professional Relationship, Not Competition

We do not practice general commercial litigation, family law, immigration, or criminal defense. We are China-US specialists only. Referrals to us will not compete with your practice.

We are a complementary resource β€” your China problem-solver β€” not a competing generalist firm.
