Leo has an eclectic practice based on areas of law that involve real estate, business and personal planning.  He assists clients with a variety of immigration matters, including business immigration and sponsorship immigration. He also works with his clients to establish and maintain business interests in British Columbia.  Leo’s practice also includes a personal component, specifically in the areas of real estate transactions and estate planning.  

Leo is very active in the community through his volunteer efforts, a character trait that he has exhibited throughout his life. Currently, he is the chair for the Canadian Bar Association’s Wills, Estates and Trusts section and a board member with the Victoria Chinatown Care Society. He has been volunteering at the Victoria Immigration and Refugee Centre and was awarded a 2019 Community Partnership Award for his contributions.
