Legal Practice
David practices both criminal and civil law. His criminal practice ranges from Prostitution to Trademark and Copyright Infringement, along with many other specialties. He also practices a variety of civil law specialties, including intellectual property, business litigation, personal injury, and many others.
One area in which he is especially active is defense of prostitutes. He has often expressed his disagreement with the criminalization of prostitution, as he consideres the crime victimless. Also, where prostitution has been allowed, there is typically less violent sex crime.
Other Ventures
In addition to his successful law practice, Mr. Liu has written a book, "The Essential Keys to Starting a Successful Business in America," started a movie production company, Shadow Magic Productions, and an upscale car rental business.
His movie production company is currently producing "Vivian," a story of a young girl that overcame her father's imprisonment, poverty, and personal trauma to put herself through college and law school. The movie will be filmed in Southern California.
Community Service
David has also been extremely active in the local Chinese Community. He has appeared on Phoenix TV, a local Chinese language television station, as a legal commentator on numerous occasions. In addition, he has also hosted a call in radio show, The Attorney Long Z. Liu's Legal Talk Show, which provided legal advice to members of the community. Since then, he has appeared on ETTV, providing commentary on high profile legal issues, such as the Edison Chen Sex Scandal, where Mr. Chen accidentally released explicit photos of many of the top movie stars in Hong Kong, causing them to lose their jobs, sponsors, and of course, embarassment.
Mr. Liu also represented a group of local citizens that paid up to $200 each for tickets to a Zhao Benshan (the Jerry Seinfeld of China) comedy show at Pasadena City College. The venue only had seating for 2,000 and sold 3,000 tickets, causing the extra 1,000 to lose their money and miss the show. Mr. Liu beat the comedian in court and got their money back.
