Jack Shen is a super super super super responsible lawyer, throughout the entire process of handling this case, I myself sometimes neglected to take it seriously. Mr. Shen became very upset about this—after all, I was being irresponsible toward my own matters. He promptly urged me to complete the necessary tasks. In the end, the judge was also satisfied with how I made up for my mistakes. Thank you, Mr. Shen.
