I was very disappointed with my experience. The receptionist was unable to answer basic questions about the firm's business law services and seemed more focused on the size of my business and revenue than actually understanding my needs. It felt like the decision to help me was based solely on potential profit rather than professionalism or client service. When I asked what areas of business law the firm handles, I could not get a clear answer. The interaction came across as dismissive and unhelpful. I am open to resolving this issue and updating my review if someone from the firm would like to contact me directly. Thank you. read more

I highly recommend James Cai and SAC Attorneys LLP. My wife and I were involved in a complicated real estate and ownership dispute involving decades of family history, extensive documentation, and difficult legal issues. Despite the complexity of the matter, Mr. Cai quickly analyzed a large volume of evidence, grasped the critical facts, identified the key legal distinctions, and developed a winning strategy. His efficiency, insight, and command of the issues gave us confidence that our case was in capable hands. What impressed us most was Mr. Cai's experience, insight, and judgment. He was able to identify a key legal distinction that decisively turned the case around and significantly strengthened our position. His ability to analyze the facts from a broader legal perspective gave us complete confidence and helped us see a clear path forward, ultimately leading to a successful resolution of the dispute for our family. The defining moment came when Mr. Cai prepared his response to opposing counsel. The letter was concise, direct, and powerful. It highlighted the strongest evidence supporting our position, presented a clear litigation strategy, and concluded with a compelling common-sense analysis that reinforced the strength of our case. It was evident that Mr. Cai had thoroughly mastered the facts and legal issues and knew exactly how to present them in the most persuasive manner. What amazed us was the result. After months of disagreement and uncertainty, Mr. Cai sent a single response letter together with a revised settlement agreement. Within approximately one week, our proposal was accepted and the dispute was settled on terms favorable to us. We never imagined that such a long-standing and complex dispute could be resolved so quickly and effectively. In our view, Mr. Cai's letter proved decisive and was the turning point that led to a successful resolution of the dispute. Throughout the matter, Mr. Cai was professional, responsive, thoughtful, and highly knowledgeable. He always took the time to answer our questions and explain the legal issues in a manner that we could understand. We felt that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. Grace and I feel truly fortunate and blessed to have had Mr. Cai as our attorney. His experience, professionalism, strategic thinking, and dedication were invaluable to us. We are deeply grateful for everything he did on our behalf and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding attorney. read more

James Cai is very knowledgeable of all Scenarios related to our case and professional in handling our case. His legal services are very reasonable. read more

James Cai did our trust with many obvious mistakes including trustee's name. He cut and paste a stranger's name. Explanation of trust and advice were wrong. We ended up redoing all. His explanation is one sided. Unable to explain pro and con. Therefore, we messed up even more now to reverse some other steps related to this trust. The trust is absolutely useless. Other lawyers were surprised to read it, too. I wish I didn't even creat the trust especially by him. read more

I am reading all this 5 star reviews and all of them seams suspicious to me to be true. Where did you see "the client love his attorney?" It is very rare, but every single review just "raving about love and appreciation for this lawyer"...And usually bad reviews would not be published or asked to be removed... Well ...maybe someone is happy, but it wasn't my experience. 1.5 years ago I also read all those reviews and felt like I should give a chance this firm to represent me. It looks like this firm can not spell correctly and it cost a lot of money to me, lots of aggravation, misrepresentation, stress and feeling of harassment. In my case there were several costly misspelled errors: 1) Initial contract - wrong hourly fee I hired James Cai and at the first initial contract he made a mistake and instead $400 p/h he wrote $200 p/h fees for his time. After we both signed the contract he said, he made a mistake, and asked could we resigned another document for $400p/h. Seeing my hesitation he said "Oh, ok, I will charge more time then", which was very funny to hear, saying that "the time will be manipulated" to make up the difference, and sounded unlawful. 2) Misspelled service person name: After several month past I didn't hear from J.Cai, but worked with his assistance. Then was a silence for awhile and I thought James was too busy and didn't work on my case and I was busy helping Ukrainian refugees. Suddenly I start getting a bunch of high invoices and I couldn't believe this, I thought it some kind of mistake. Issue was that assistance misspelled the name of the person who served, and after 25 emails back and forth to correct the name and address the high fee for the mistakes were charged to me. 3) Defendant name misspelled J.Cai misspelled defendant's name and for 8 or so months we were getting papers from the court stated " Mismatched defendant's name"; Case is closed due to mismatched names"; But law firm kept filing again and again the documents with misspelled defendant name. 4) I refused to pay high unfair invoice, saying I am not going to pay for someone's mistakes. I requested to fix misspelled errors and only then I would pay agreeable bill. But J.Cai quit without any warning of phone call and filed a motion to release him for non-payment ( and defendant's name was still misspelled). It was upsetting, and scared to stay in the middle of the lawsuit without a lawyer, but judge was supporting me and asked " Do you really need a lawyer who can not spell ? Even this documents for the motion to release was filed incorrectly". 5) The file "non-payment for the invoice" created the situation when lawyers see the red flag and now to hire a new attorney retainer is $20,000 which I can not afford and have no choice but represent myself in the court and stand up to 2 lawyers. 6) J.Cai drugged the case so long with all misspelling issues, and jeopardized the entire case. He never filed a lien against the collateral house and now it is a big loss. It was only one opportunity to get my money back by filing a lien on the collateral house. Even I asked multiple times to do so, he never done it. 7) Miscommunication and no communication at all. I worked with a few lawyers over the time and this is the first time when I have had almost no communication with my lawyer, but very expensive invoices. I will keep J.Cai responsible for the misrepresentation and damaging my case. If someone needs more information about my experience feel free to reach directly to me by text or email GRHSrent@gmail.com P.S. James Cai from SAC attorneys group doesn't hesitate to insult and use F*** word to your face. So disrespectful, especially to a single mother! What do you think, should I sue him? read more

Atty James Cai is a great business lawyer. He is trustworthy and prompt in responding to all my questions and inquiries. Very good and knows what he is doing. He was very helpful and fair when it comes to service fees. I highly recommend him based on my own personal experience. read more

James Cai and his team were wonderful to work with and they helped deliver a positive outcome for us in about 6-7 months which is an amazing turnaround. If you're looking for someone to hold your hand though the legal process and explain every detail, James may not be the person for you but if you want experience and strong legal acumen then I highly recommend you select SAC and trust them throughout the process. I was able to share my gut feelings about the case and James was willing to hear and act on my requests. Whenever necessary James and his team exercised whatever options were available to fight for us and to push the status quo until we reached a favorable outcome. Definitely have a consult with James and consider SAC for any legal issues you may have!! read more

James has been instrumental to our business. I am glad I found him! James is straight to the point and prompt with commuinication. This has been an excellent experience thus far. read more

When I got a serious lawsuit after over 10 years in business, I was searching all over for a great attorney to work with. I contacted big and small firms, from San Francisco to Oakland, San Jose and Los Angeles! After hours of interviewing many attorneys, I decided to go with James Cai. The major reasons are: First, he already had so many stellar five star reviews, and by reading these reviews, I feel he is very professional and ethical and we will be in good hands. Second, he is a sharp and wise attorney who understands business owner's real challenge. Did you know he is Yahoo's legal counsel? And it proved that we made the right choice. He impressed me throughout the whole process by being very efficient, intelligent, direct to the point. We can feel that he has the best interests of his client, with a kind heart. His communication is superb (English is impeccable that he can proof read the other American born attorney's writing), and he and his team works hard, almost around the clock. The case was resolved successfully. He was able to resolve one of the major challenges that I faced in so many years. That's something that made me wholeheartedly recommended Mr. James Cai and his team. read more

Mr. Cai was a pleasure working with. He and his professional team assisted us during my H1B case and helped me to get the H1B approval. After I got the RFE file, that made me feel a lot of pressure and disquiet. Mr. Cai and Mr. Chen always sounded confident in what they were doing and were very honest which made me trust them all through the process. Another thing I liked about them was that they always reachable and always got back to me answering all my questions. Their work is professional and diligent. I will always be grateful to have found SAC Attorneys and helping me obtain my H1B visa after over 3 months of struggle. I highly recommend Mr. Cai and his team. If you want someone who truly cares and is efficient in their line of duty you want them. read more

I had a great experience working with SAC Attorneys for multiple immigration applications. James and Cheng were always VERY responsive and easy to work with.

I retained SAC Attorneys because I had an ex-partner that ordered two hundred thousand dollars worth of material using my license and contact information. This was from a large company that does over 1 billion a year in revenue. They came in with a very strong lawsuit against me and it really did not look very desirable for me. SAC Attorneys kept on all the hearings, all correct documents and tracked the process very efficiently. The large company seemed to have the courts favor and they created extra addendums that prolonged the process. They obviosly had a strong legal team and were relentless. Then SAC Attorneys executed a strong mediation brief that left them defensless, and the courts dismised the case. It was truly amazing how SAC Attorneys took my relatively weak stand, and with excellent legal strategies, took down the huge corporate legal team, and we came out with a win. I cannot thank SAC Attorneys enough. read more

Two thumbs up for James Cai, who helped me with my recent case. He is warm-hearted, quick minded and knowledgeable. His professional suggestion pushed my counterparts to reach an agreement so that the problem can be quickly solved. He's trustworthy. Highly Recommended ! read more

Not a right place. 我相信律師們很專業，也很忙碌，但也因為如此在我通過幾通電話並遞交文件且詢問過是否正確。他很肯定地說"是的，沒有問題"。最後的結果是我的申請文件被拒絕了也錯失了唯一的一次簽證資格。 Not a right place. I believe the attorney is very professional and busy. I have passed several phone calls and submitted documents and asked if they are correct. He said with certainty "Yes, no problem". The final result was that my application documents were denied and I missed the only visa qualification. read more

Mr. Cai is a good attorney that you can rarely find in the Bay Area who is good at both English and Mandarin Chinese. Also he charges fair amount of money hourly. He has been very thoughtful and patient during the entire consultation; what's even better was he also brought in some very interesting and useful points based on his experience that was super helpful for my case. If you are not an English native, or if you think the language in English written in contracts are too hard to fully understand, then you should go to him. 蔡律师是你在湾区可以找到的为数不多中英双语都很靠谱，且费用合理的律师。在我的咨询过程中他非常耐心，最有用的是他会充分运用他的经验来给我提供有效信息。如果你担心合同或者其他法律纠纷中的英文或者文书语言可能成为你成功或者胜诉的羁绊，我建议你来跟蔡律师聊聊，也许会有意想不到的收获。 read more

I highly recommend James Cai for his legal services. My family hired James for a small business arbitration, and we are very, very satisfied. Not only does he possess immense patience and compassion, but is also very intelligent and well spoken. From the moment I spoke with him, I knew that he was there to look out for his clients' best interest rather than his own. I've heard my share of lawyer horror stories and have always been very cautious when approaching them. I am ecstatic that we were able to find a lawyer who is motivated by sound ethics, as they are often very difficult to come by. Again, my greatest commendations to James Cai and his law firm. read more

I had bad luck to be introduced with a terrible general contractor. I have good luck when introduced with Lawyer Cai, who helps me to end this nightmare experience so quickly, efficiently and professionally! The GC cheated me into signing ambiguous contract, later he threatened me with that ambiguous contract,to sign to accept the stupid price he made. I was in great panic and worried a lot. To ask for help, I consulted some other lawyers too. But Mr Cai is the most efficient, with his precise hit on that bad GC's illegal points. Lawyer's letter from Mr Cai got me back the target refund in 7 days. With his help, I am walking out of the chaotic state. The situation, what seemed to be so terrible is getting better now. And I am not afraid anymore. I should have asked his help earlier. I will definitely recommend him when my friends are in need of professional and efficient help. read more

It annoyed me so much that this attorney left me message to ask me to delete the bad review 3 months after I left the review. Please note that I do take NO as an answer, but I DON'T take attitude as an answer!!! I'm surprised that you could remember clearly what really happened about 3 months ago since you're "so busy"! And again, you only said one time "I can't help you" and hang up the phone right away, leaving me no chance to respond even a word!!! If you do care your reputation you wouldn't have done that. My time is very valuable and I'm not gonna waste my time here again! read more
