I sold one of my condos in Midtown Atlanta recently and Liu & Associates, PC in Roswell/Alpharetta was the law office responsible for the closing. The real estate market continues to be red-hot across the country, including metro Atlanta, with homes going under contract lightning-fast with cash offers above asking price: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/12/homes/us-real-estate-market-not-buying-a-home-now-feseries/index.html. For this particular deal, I went from list to close in three weeks. It would've been even faster if the court didn't hold up the title search. At least, that's what Liu & Associates told me. I hadn't heard of Liu & Associates until this deal. However, my agent had worked with them before. The buyer and their agent chose Liu & Associates to be the closing attorney. Specifically, Nancy Liu was supposed to be our closing attorney, but she was so busy at the time of our closing that her partner, Warren Wen, conducted the closing instead. Warren had us in and out in less than an hour. All documents seemed to be in order and Warren knew what he was doing. It was boom, boom, boom. Sign, sign, sign. The number of documents to sign seemed significantly less than the last closing I experienced with one difference being this was a cash closing. I felt significantly more comfortable at this closing than I did at my last closing which was at Trey Inman & Associates, PC in Buckhead. Simply put, the folks at Liu & Associates were much friendlier and way more down-to-earth. I felt like I could trust them more. Warren was a funny guy and kind of a goofball. Warren, if you're reading this, I mean it in a good way. I'm a goofball too. During closing, Warren would lighten things up by throwing in jokes, some of which could be quite corny. For example, when I had to give Warren my photo ID, he said it would be $10,000 to get it back. But seriously, everything went through without a hitch. Warren explained each document in plain English and even admitted that a particular document was difficult for even lawyers to understand (I believe it may have been poorly written). All three parties (buyer party, seller party, closing attorney) left the closing feeling happy, which I think really says it all. In the days leading up to closing, I worked with pre-closer Diane Chang. She was tasked with getting everything in order so we could close on the closing date written in the contract. Diane worked around the clock, during business hours, after business hours, emailing me, answering my emails, and returning my phone call promptly. I appreciated the work she put in. The only fee I had to pay Liu & Associates outside of anything captured in the settlement/closing was a $350 "Rush Closing Letter Package (3 Business Days)" for the HOA (homeowner association) closing letter and associated documents. The 5-day package cost $250 and the 1-day package cost $375. In our situation and because I wanted to close as fast as possible, Diane recommended the 3-day package. I received a receipt for the HOA closing letter fee from Lydia Lee. Since I travel often and work remote these days, I considered doing a mail-away closing. Liu & Associates told me in order to prevent title fraud, the title company required me (the seller) to sign at an attorney's office or a title company office in my area. Also, the cost to do a mail-away closing would have been $250. I happened to be in Atlanta on the date of the closing so I decided to show up in-person at Liu & Associates' office in Roswell/Alpharetta. One big advantage this office has over others is they are bilingual. The staff writes and speaks fluent English and Chinese Mandarin. I'm not sure if they know Chinese Cantonese, other Chinese dialects, or other languages. I don't speak Chinese and I understood Diane and Warren's English well, whether it was an email, document, phone call, or face-to-face conversation in person. I believe this firm caters to primarily a Chinese and Taiwanese clientele. read more

See all

They got the job done. I bought a home in November and the seller chose these attorneys to do Power of Attorney as the seller already left the state. It was a pretty seamless process! read more

This is my second time using their services. First time was about two years ago. I am in California and they are in Georgia. Although we have 3 hours difference, they will respond my email even I back home after 8 pm. Nancy and their staff almost doing the work around the clock. When I called Nancy, she is always patient to answer my question. I don't know when can they get rest. In my case, we planned enough time from the beginning, but due to lender delay which is out of their control, I think we can not sign closing document on time. But they made it. They work with lender closely and updating me on the progress. They did everything in professional way, and check every detail for me. Highly recommend. read more

This was my first experience with the law firm and I look forward to many more in the future. Everything was handled expeditiously and with excellent timely communication. No issues in the title examination, scheduling and facilitating and coordinating our closing. The location is easy to find and readily accessible to 400 and our clients coming in from out of town. With such a positive experience, I can highly recommend their services. I intend to connect with them again in future with our clients on their real estate needs! read more

I really enjoyed my closing experience with Liu and Associates! The team did an amazing job at communicating expectations, were timely and detailed, and went above and beyond in making sure my buyer was able to close a smooth and success International Closing! This transaction required both selling and buying parties to have POA and the Liu and Associates team didn't miss a beat! Thank you Nancy, Diane, and Lena for your after hour support, timely responses, and expertise that was shared at this closing! I AM looking forward to Many Many More! :) read more

Overall, no professional ethics, rush, and cheap. Their slogan is "if you don't sign, you don't get the house!". Their altitude stinks. I was forced to use this closing attorney by the agent when I recently bought a property. I would never use them for the second time. Unprofessional: showed up late, telling us she has multiple closings that day so very busy. Come on, it's your business, not mine. The attorney obviously did not even read the documents until the closing time and made multiple obvious mistakes. She forced us to sign a form to acknowledge receiving a file that they even don't have, which is the most unprofessional thing I can imagine for a closing attorney. Rush: didn't explain anything. lied multiple times, and used COVID to explain something that actually has nothing to do with the pandemic. For a three-page document, only showed us the last page and let us sign. Racial profiling: if you speak Chinese, they will judge you and assume all Chinese are innocent and you need to beg them to buy a house. Shame!!! But if you are non-Chinese, they will smile from the beginning to the end. Cheap: yes they are a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than others. So, if you want to pay someone to shout at you (I don't), go with them. They even shout at each other, which didn't surprise me after seeing these people. Corruption: they do not consider buyers/sellers as their customer, but agents. So, they stage the property transition process to force buyers/sellers sign all documents without even reading them because they know it's hard for people to say no at the last minute or the house can not be closed. Suggestion: if you unfortunately have to use this closing attorney, be prepared to walk away. They will scare you no signature, no house. But remember, buyers paid for everything, if buyers don't buy the house, they all get to do free work. They should be the ones scared. This attorney, along with the agents associate with them, is like spring, if you become tough, they become soft, and vice versa. I also read the other five-star review. That was a innocent seller, not a buyer. When I sell a house, I don't care neither, all I need to know is to get my money. As a buyer, I need to make sure I get what I am paying for and my liabilities. "It was boom, boom, boom. Sign, sign, sign." That's exactly what they expect you to do, they will be angry if you read the documents you are signing and ask questions about them. read more

Do NOT use! Extremely difficult to work with. I am involved in a sale of a home & they were charging for every form & question. I asked for a sample Power of Attorney & they said they would provide it after I provided all my information first. Why? I would like to know what the POA said before they charge me to produce the form. NO Way! I've worked with attorneys before & I must say that they were the least forthcoming & helpful of any I've ever been in contact with. Their only positive - - they speak Mandarin. read more
