Given the current reality in the legal arena that the body of law has become more and more complicated, KKT upholds the philosophy to train and encourage our attorneys to be experts in certain aspects of law rather than a “jack of all trades.”Our attorneys are divided into specific practice groups focusing on particular aspects of law in order to perfect each area of focus for you. In KKT, we require practice groups to provide support and resource to each other to fulfill our commitment to excellence and being expert in aspects of law we practice.We have become most respected for our work in complex and international litigation, real estate, intellectual property, and corporate matters -- but by no means are we limited to these practices. We specialize in the following areas:

Entrepreneurship is in the blood of the American spirit. In pursuit of prosperity, risk-taking is inevitable, and failure is the twin of success. When you find that you are unable to manage your debts and need to eliminate or reorganize them, you may wish to consider declaring bankruptcy.

Even when bankruptcy is the only solution to a troubled financial situation, there are many options within bankruptcy that are available to you in the midst of this life-change event. We have the resources and depth to respond quickly to your financial crisis. Our attorneys are experienced in assessing your financial situation and can walk you safely through the potential turmoil created by insolvency and bankruptcy.

Litigation is our core competence. Our civil litigation group thoroughly gathers the relevant facts, objectively analyzes the controlling law, realistically assesses the underlying case, and develops a strategy to achieve the client's objectives. Our civil litigation attorneys attentively communicate with clients, explain the laws on the issues, assess the case objectively, advocate to their best ability for clients’ causes, and advise them on the reasonable resolution of disputes. Different from commercial litigations, civil litigations are not only interest oriented but are sometimes also about principles.

Litigation is our core competence, and KKT is well-respected for our work in commercial litigation. We have a team of attorneys able to efficiently manage and litigate the most complex commercial litigations such as product liability cases and patent infringement cases. Our commercial litigation group is devoted to the creative resolution of complex business disputes on behalf of both corporate entities as well as individuals. We represent a diverse client base in a correspondingly broad array of matters. Although disputes may vary greatly, our approach to resolving them is consistent. We thoroughly gather the relevant facts, objectively analyze the controlling law, realistically balance clients’ available resources, assess the underlying commercial realities, and finally develop a strategy to achieve clients’ business objectives as efficiently and expeditiously as possible. We require each of our commercial litigators apply this strategy to every dispute we encounter. Our commercial litigators not only work closely among themselves but also work closely with clients. We know that to win a complex commercial case, we are required to know our clients’ business, what they do and why they do it. We litigate regularly with some of the largest firms in the U.S. and the world in cases across the country and overseas. For example, in a 337 patent infringement investigation at the International Trade Commission, we successfully defended companies based in the U.S. and mainland China that had very limited financial resources. We have also settled patent infringement cases in federal courts nation wide for many start-up and in-growth companies, which not only preserved their businesses but also helped them continue to thrive in the competitive U.S. market.

Our corporate law practice began to grow following the success of our litigation practice. Most clients we assisted in litigation refer legal work to us involving corporate law as their businesses expand. Now, we serve as general counsel to many companies, both private and public, in various industries. We have represented domestic and international auto parts manufacturers, pharmaceutical corporations, biochemical companies, research and development labs, chain restaurants, and general food wholesale distributors. We advise clients on general corporate governance matters relating to their daily business operations, including the following areas: the proper choice of a business entity and the formation of corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships the negotiation and documentation of shareholder agreements, limited liability company operating agreements, and partnership agreements corporation and limited liability company dissolutions, and other business separations. due diligence on conflict of interests and fiduciary duties of directors and corporate officers With our success in each project we accomplish for our clients, we see this law firm gradually growing to be able to offer comprehensive legal services spanning virtually every aspect of business to meet clients’ needs.

"The very premise of our adversary system of criminal justice is that partisan advocacy on both sides of a case will best promote the ultimate objective that the guilty be convicted and the innocent go free." Herring v. New York, 422 U.S. 853, 862 (1975). Our criminal defense team attorneys know well that whether it is a minor traffic stop or a mass criminal arrest, whenever an individual’s freedom is taken away by the arms of the law, the rights of the accused lie at the mercy of the criminal justice system in a society that all too often assumes guilt before trial.
