Superb intelligence and deep care for my best interest.
"As a client of Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP, I had worked with attorneys Ella Zheng . . . and legal assistants . . . at its San Francisco office for about three years. I was deeply satisfied with my experience. Ella managed my case with not only superb intelligence but also deep care for my best interest. On multiple occasions she went beyond her way to help, even after my case was successfully closed. Wish there were a 6-star rating on Google review!"
– David Chen, a Former Client
Extraordinary authenticity, perseverance, tenacity, professionalism, and expertise.
"I am incredibly grateful for Ms. Ella Zheng and her team at Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP. I met Ms. Ella Zheng through friends’ referrals in 2017. My case seemed straightforward, some would even say too good to be true. It mainly involved breach of contract by the American stakeholders in a US - China joint venture. The case was in fact very complex due to various rules in China related to retired executives at that time. Before I met Ella, I tried to retain lawyers in big international firms to represent me on this case, yet they all gave up, for various reasons, after some back-and-forth communication.
No one around me was optimistic about the outcome of the case where I, as a Chinese national, was to litigate against an American company in the United States. However, Ella and her team demonstrated extraordinary authenticity, perseverance, tenacity, professionalism, and expertise. She made relentless efforts in communicating with me, gathering information, and implementing rigorous step-by-step work process among various stakeholders, which led to the successful filing of the case. Her swift action took the defendants by surprise. Defendants had to change their legal team multiple times to handle the matter, yet were still unable to keep up with Ella’s strategies. My case was eventually resolved successfully through mediation, ending with me getting a terrific settlement.
It’s been over three years since my case ended, yet I still become emotional whenever I think of it. Cross-border litigation requires a legal team that not only has an enhanced level of knowledge about the specialized areas of law, but also an acute understanding and grasp of relevant rules and regulations involving foreign jurisdictions. That’s exactly what Ella and her team possess – the ability to strategically position the case, go above and beyond to find the breakthrough, and at the same time provide her clients with ample guidance and analysis, and also instill them with the needed confidence to engage in the process. At last, I want to thank Sanford Heisler Sharp for the legal representation. My best wishes to the firm."

Attentive, Patient, Knowledgeable
"Ella and her colleagues at Sanford Heisler Sharp helped me with my claims against my former employer. They have been very attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. In the entire process, I always felt I was in good hands with the representation. Every call was well prepared, and they frequently followed up as needed.
Employment laws, especially the racial discrimination and wrongful termination part, can get very complicated, and oftentimes proving the right point doesn't automatically translate into getting the right outcome, yet fortunately, I was given all the patience and detailed explanation I needed. Ella and everyone else all have been empathetic to what I was going through, with the expertise, diligence, and dedication they put in my case that eventually helped me significantly in a critical time of my life."

Never once wavered, very good, patient listeners.
"I am so grateful to have had Qiaojing Ella Zheng fight for me. She and her team never once wavered in believing in my case, and helped me not only get a good settlement, but also in sending the long-overdue message to my company that their mistreatment of people of color would no longer be tolerated nor will we stay quiet any longer. Ella’s team clearly demonstrated their expertise in employment discrimination law throughout my case. I felt that they always had my best interests at heart. They were very professional but also very good, patient listeners. And just overall good, genuine people. I used to blame myself for what happened, but now I have clarity and closure about the reality of the situation and can confidently move forward with my life and my future endeavors." –Former Client
Professionalism, Responsiveness, Quality
"Very responsive and professional elites. I am lucky to get Ella Zheng to represent me. She and her assistant helped me out at their best to resolve the issue with my former Company, who alleged claims against me and thought I didn’t have anyone at hand to help. And I am pretty sure she is the one I will refer to in the future if I met same problems in the future. The cost is there, but they do try their best to fight for your benefit."
– Michael Lee
Serious investigation, strong expertise, great patience.
"In the course of my case, lawyer Ms. Ella Zheng conducted serious investigation and evidence collection, applied her strong expertise to make the case go to the correct directions. And at the same time, Ms. Zheng answered my questions with great patience and always updated the case progress and possible outcomes timely. She did an excellent job.
I am very satisfied with the final settlement. I appreciate my lawyer Ms. Ella Zheng very much!"

非凡的志诚,坚韧,职业精神和专业素养
我非常感谢Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP 的Ella Zheng 以及她的团队。2017年几经周折经过朋友介绍我结识了Ella
Zheng女士和她的公司。我的CASE看似简单,甚至Too good to be true. 就是因为牵涉到中美合资企业美方在中国违约。当时在中国有限制高管退休返聘的参考规定这使案情变得相对复杂。之前我还试图聘请中国的跨国律师团队接手此案,但经过一段时间沟通后,对方还是借故放弃服务。
作为一个中国人,个人跟一家美国公司在美国打官司,几乎所有人都不看好这个CASE的结局。 但是Ella的公司团队和她本人表现出非凡的志诚,坚韧,职业精神和专业素养。经过反复沟通,收集资料和严谨的工作流程,使诉讼按部就班,走入司法程序。这也是被告方始料不及的,被迫多次更换律师团队,疲于应对。最终接受庭外和解,使案件圆满结束。
案例结束三年有余,每每想起来还是惊心动魄。跨国诉讼需要更高知识水平的团队,更需要对涉及他国相关法律特别是一些针对性较强的规定加以适当理解和掌握。Ella团队就是这样把握时局,挖掘突破口,同时为委托人提供业务指导和进程分析。给委托人必要的信心加以配合。最后感谢Sanford
Heisler Sharp的服务,希望公司越办越好。
