legal help in Guangdong

[warpedbored]

I ran across this on the consulates webpage. It is a list of law offices in the GZ area. I noted at least one that specifies it has an american lawyer. I can't vouch for any of these but there has been some people who have been asking for a list.

 

 

I'm editing this to add King's contact info since he has been a Candle member for a long time:
