Firm Overview

Oswald & Yap—A Different Kind of Law Firm

Southern California Business, Real Estate, and Intellectual Property Lawyers

Some law firms remain mired in the past, afraid of using new technologies. Other law firms allow a high tech approach to obscure what was valuable in traditional law practice. At the Irvine, California, law firm of Oswald & Yap, we blend the best of old-fashioned service and a dedication to excellence with the very latest in information technology to provide a level of service and expertise that meets the needs of our clients in the most effective and cost-conscious manner possible.

Since our formation, Oswald & Yap has been guided by two basic principles: First and foremost, to tell the client, frankly and honestly, what can be delivered. Secondly, deliver what was promised. For more than twenty-five years, our firm has endeavored to stay true to the principles that form the foundation of our practice.

We believe our list of satisfied clients bears this out, and illustrates that you do not have to select an expensive, large law firm to get premium results.
