“The Big Firm Alternative”

Law Offices of Derek K. Yu (“LODKY”) is a business-focused law firm based in San Mateo, California providing innovative and cost-effective representation that is required to succeed in today's market and in the future.  LODKY is a firm built on trust, reliability, and expertise. 

We provide representation in a broad spectrum of legal areas, including corporate, commercial and business law, real estate law, and estate planning.  LODKY helps its clients become successful by taking their business to the next level, while ensuring that certain protections are in place to reduce liability. 

Most businesses, especially start-ups, cannot afford to engage a large law firm and spend over $400.00 to 500.00 an hour for legal fees.  LODKY fills that gap by delivering the same quality work of the large law firms at often half the cost.  More importantly, we guarantee that our clients will never be made to feel like “second class” citizens like they are often treated in the large law firms.  That means never being put on hold indefinitely when you call our office, or waiting several days for your attorney to return your phone call.  We value our clients and typically respond to phone calls or emails on the same day, and always within 24 hours.   We treat clients with respect and promise to fully abide by our Client Bill of Rights.
