Legal Services for Chinese-Speaking Clients | Craig Fine Law Group
The Law Office of Craig A. Fine, P.C. represents Chinese-speaking clients in real estate, business, estate-planning and related legal matters the firm accepts. Mandarin-language legal assistance is available through Li Wu, Esq., an associate attorney fluent in Mandarin and English.
Mandarin-language legal assistance
Clear communication is especially important when a client is reviewing a contract, transferring property, organizing a business or signing estate-planning documents. Language assistance from an attorney can help the client communicate questions, understand the purpose of documents and participate directly in decisions affecting the matter.
The firm’s attorneys coordinate the legal work according to the subject, jurisdiction and needs of the client. Craig A. Fine, Esq., the firm’s managing partner, is licensed in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Li Wu, Esq. provides Mandarin and English fluency as part of the firm’s multi-attorney client service.
Real estate and title matters
Chinese-speaking clients may seek assistance with a home purchase or sale, condominium or cooperative transaction, commercial property, investment acquisition, title issue, deed transfer or closing. Legal representation can include contract review, title examination, due diligence, lender coordination, entity documents and explanation of closing requirements.
Relevant resources include the firm’s real estate practice, title-insurance and closing guidance, Brooklyn services and New York City real estate guidance.
Business and estate-planning matters
The firm also handles business formation, agreements, commercial leases, ownership arrangements, business disputes, wills, trusts and estate planning in matters it accepts.

Request Mandarin-language assistance
Use the firm’s contact page or call (718) 351-5190 to request information. State that Mandarin-language assistance is requested so the firm can route the inquiry appropriately. Do not submit confidential details before the firm confirms representation.
Preparing for a bilingual legal consultation
Clients can help the firm evaluate an inquiry by gathering the relevant contract, deed, title report, lease, company agreement, court notice or estate-planning document. A short chronology with important dates and the names of the parties can make an initial discussion more efficient. Documents written in another language should be identified when the inquiry is submitted.
Mandarin fluency supports direct attorney-client communication, but the controlling legal documents and governmental filings may still be prepared in English. The attorneys can explain the legal purpose and effect of documents while identifying when a certified translation, interpreter, accountant, engineer or other outside professional may be appropriate.
The firm treats language access as part of accurate client service. Questions should be raised before documents are signed or deadlines expire so that the client can make informed decisions based on the actual transaction and applicable law.
