Teresa Li, the founder of Teresa Li, PC Law Offices, specializes her legal practice in personal injury and wrongful death litigation. She operates from the firm’s San Francisco offices, offering legal representation to clients across the San Francisco Bay Area, Stockton, and the San Joaquin Valley. Having been licensed to practice law in California since 2011, Ms. Li also holds admission to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

With a track record of securing over $20 million in compensation for injured clients, she brings valuable insight from her previous experience as an insurance defense attorney to her work on the plaintiffs’ side. Her understanding of how claims are assessed from a defense perspective enhances her approach. Notable achievements in her career include obtaining settlements such as $2.65 million and $2.5 million for pedestrian-auto accidents, a $2 million settlement in a sexual assault case, a $1.2 million settlement in a kidnapping case, and a $5.45 million settlement with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office for a collision involving her clients on a motorcycle and a police car at an intersection. Her practice covers a wide array of case types, including trucking accidents, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bike accidents, defective products, trip-and-fall incidents, construction site accidents, and cases of child physical and sexual abuse.

Fluently bilingual in English and Mandarin, Ms. Li pursued her undergraduate studies in mechanical engineering at the University of Alberta, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 2007. Subsequently, she attended the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree cum laude in 2011.
