Yizhang (Julia) Shen is an attorney licensed in California and New York whose practice focuses on fertility and family formation law and U.S. immigration law. She is passionate about helping people grow their families and build new lives in the United States, offering guidance that is both legally precise and personally supportive. In her fertility law practice, Julia assists intended parents, surrogates, and donors through every step of the assisted reproduction process — from drafting gamete donation and gestational surrogacy agreements to obtaining court parentage orders in California. She works closely with fertility clinics, agencies, and fellow attorneys across multiple jurisdictions to ensure each arrangement is clearly structured, compliant, and handled with care. Julia also represents clients in employment-based and investment-based immigration matters, family petitions, and adjustment of status. Having practiced law in both the U.S. and China, she understands the challenges of navigating complex systems in a new country and is deeply committed to helping clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind. Fluent in English and Mandarin, Julia believes that law is not just about documents and procedures, but about people and their stories. She is dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and effective representation to individuals and families from all walks of life.
