Saejung understands the dedication, hard work, and sacrifice required to become a physician or surgeon, and is committed to protecting your interests as you negotiate for your first post-residency/fellowship job. PHYSICIAN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT EVALUATION includes a phone or online video call meeting with Saejung to review the contract, consider possible amendments, and explore negotiation strategies. The fee for one contract is usually $150-$300 flat rate for residents and fellows, with a discount for review of additional contracts. Saejung also offers immigration legal services.
 

According to the resident who recommended her, Saejung Lee was easy to work with and thorough. Another resident said she was prompt,helpful and extremely affordable. She took her time to explain many details in the contract to my satisfaction. An additional fellow said she responded quickly and was able to discuss all the pertinent points of the contract over phone within days of our first contact. She made things clear and interpreted them in a language somebody without legal training can understand. Her prices are very reasonable for residents and fellows on a budget.

She was very, very reasonable (almost half the cost of other attorneys) and very professional and courteous. I would definitely utilize her services in the future."

"Residential and commercial real estate, tenant-landlord, small business (including nonprofit) organization, estate planning. She was an attorney on the sale of our home and had a set fee, never added on, and held on to escrowed funds for over a year and never charged another fee. I call Juscha for other referrals and will use her again."

Phone: (608) 821-4257

The resident that recommended this dealership said the following "When looking for a used AWD vehicle in good condition, I found this dealership had the best deals--even better than individual owners selling their own cares. Their maintenance people and everyone else we dealt with were very friendly and helpful as well. I will take my Subaru here for service, too! Every time the car goes in, it gets a free car wash."

"Lance Anderson, the pre-owned sales manager, is a totally cool, straight-forward, super nice guy. I told him exactly what I was looking for in a car and the maximum price I could afford. He took down the information and told me he would get back to me in the next day after he had time to look through his inventory and records to find a well maintained car that met my specifications. He did not try to make me test drive a new car or mess around showing me things he was not sure were in my best interest. He ended up finding me a great car, under my max price! They also gave us a really nice loaner to drive over the weekend until the rims could be prettied up on Monday!"
