“I am committed to vigorously advocating for my clients so they can focus on rebuilding their lives. LegalRise helps its clients rise above their legal battles.”

RZ's journey began in a small town in southern China, where he left home at 17 to attend college hundreds of miles away in Wuhan. His pursuit of the American dream led him to Texas, where he earned a Ph.D. in Microbiology at Texas A&M. RZ's story is a testament to his unwavering commitment, no matter how challenging the task.

It was in Texas that RZ experienced first-hand how complex and impactful the law can be in one’s life and was inspired to pursue a legal career. RZ attended The University of Michigan Law School with a scholarship.

After obtaining his law degree, RZ worked in the biotech industry for almost a decade and gained extensive experience in administrative compliance. As an attorney, RZ worked for firms in Michigan, Texas, and Utah, where he helped his clients—individuals, small businesses, and corporations—secure and protect their assets and vigorously defend their rights in various litigation. RZ is admitted to practice law in the States of New York, Texas, and Utah, and the USPTO.

RZ founded LegalRise in 2024 and brings his experience and dedication to serving clients.

Outside of work, RZ finds joy in skiing, hiking, and camping with his family in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. He also has a passion for tinkering with cars and motorcycles. RZ is a native Mandarin Chinese speaker.
