This past weekend, our team at Postman Law had the honor of participating in Chicago’s Chinatown Summer Fair. It was more than just a community event for us—it was personal.
I spent several years living and working in China. It was a formative time in my life. I met my wife there. We started our family with a shared appreciation of both American and Chinese culture. Today, Chinese is a language spoken daily in our home. We still travel back to visit family. Our Chinese identity is not just something we respect—it’s something we live.
When we looked at where to invest our outreach efforts, Chicago’s Chinatown made perfect sense. We know that Asian-American communities—especially first-generation immigrants—are often underrepresented in the legal system. Many have never worked with a lawyer before. Some are hesitant to bring claims, even when they’ve been seriously hurt. That hesitation is understandable. But it also means too many people go without the help they need and deserve.
At Postman Law, our mission is to make the legal process easier, faster, and more empowering for those who’ve been injured. And that mission doesn’t change based on someone’s background, language, or comfort with the legal system. If anything, it becomes even more important.

Despite some rain and extreme heat, the turnout at the fair was incredible. We had a line down the block for our prize wheel—our lavender “Sue Them” hats were especially popular. It was amazing to see them walking around the festival on so many heads. We met potential clients, connected with restaurant owners (special thanks to our booth neighbors at Triple Crown Restaurant), spoke with local community leaders and the neighborhood alderman, and, most importantly, we listened.
We’re grateful for the chance to be part of this event—and we’re just getting started. We look forward to building a practice centered around the Chinese communities in Chicago and beyond. And we’ll continue finding new ways to serve, support, and deliver justice.

點解我哋選擇同芝加哥華埠合作
Postman Law 管理合夥人 Warren Postman
喺剛過去嘅週末，我哋 Postman Law 有幸參加咗芝加哥華埠嘅夏日街會。對我哋嚟講，呢唔只係一次普通社區活動，對我個人嚟講，更加有特別意義。
我曾經喺中國工作和生活幾年，期間識到我嘅太太。我哋喺嗰度開始咗家庭，一直都非常珍惜中美文化之間嘅連繫。直到今日，我哋屋企每日都會講中文。我哋依然會返中國探親，因為中國文化同身份，對我哋家庭好重要。
所以當我哋考慮要喺邊個社區開始做外展工作時，華埠係我哋自然嘅選擇。我哋知道，亞裔社區，尤其係第一代移民，喺法律領域裡面往往冇乜代表性。好多朋友從來都冇搵過律師。即使遇到意外受傷，都可能因為唔熟悉法律程序或者擔心麻煩，而冇提出索償。呢種猶豫我哋理解，但唔應該成為阻止你攞返應有公義嘅原因。
喺 Postman Law，我哋致力令法律程序變得更簡單、更快速，讓每位受傷人士都可以感受到支持同信心。唔論你嘅背景、語言或者係咪熟悉法律，我哋都會用心對待，協助你走過呢段艱難時間。
雖然當日天氣又落雨又焗熱，但嚟到我哋攤位嘅街坊朋友非常踴躍。排隊玩轉盤遊戲排到出街，特別係我哋送出嘅薰衣草色「Sue Them（告佢哋）」帽子，大受歡迎。我哋見到成條街都有人戴住，真係好感動。
我哋亦有機會認識潛在客戶，拜訪社區餐廳老闆（特別多謝隔離攤位嘅 Triple Crown Restaurant），同當地區議員同社區領袖交流。最重要嘅係，我哋有機會去聆聽大家嘅需要同聲音。
我哋真心感激可以參與今次活動。呢只係我哋服務華人社區嘅第一步。我哋希望喺芝加哥華埠以至更多地區，建立一個為華人社區服務嘅法律實踐團隊，幫助你哋維護應得嘅權益。
