About Hung-Lin
Hung-Lin Lai built a steady professional path through law school and business studies before settling into private practice. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2012, then completed a J.D. at the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2017. He stayed on at the University of Oklahoma for an MBA, conferred in 2020. That combination of legal training and graduate business study shapes how he approaches client work.
After law school, Lai moved into practice and joined Cooper Richardson PA in 2022. That year appears prominently on his resume and marks a visible step into firm-based litigation and client counseling. He also holds admission in multiple courts and states, including the Western District of Oklahoma, the state bars of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and admissions in Washington and Texas. Those credentials allow him to handle matters that cross state lines and to appear in federal court when necessary.
Lai is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, joining in 2022. That affiliation places him within a professional network focused on immigration law issues and federal immigration practice. Membership in that organization signals ongoing engagement with developments in immigration policy and procedure.
His background blends courtroom readiness with business awareness. The MBA adds an additional layer to routine legal analysis. He applies business principles to case assessment, client counseling, and managing firm operations. In practice this often means attention to cost considerations, procedural timelines, and strategic planning alongside legal argument.
Today Lai practices at Lai & Turner Law Office PLLC. The firm environment gives him the platform to handle a range of matters and to coordinate work across jurisdictions where he is admitted. He continues to draw on his time at Cooper Richardson PA as part of a broader professional trajectory that includes both private firm experience and bar admissions in several states.
Clients and colleagues describe him as pragmatic and thorough in preparing cases, and he maintains professional ties through his AILA membership. He balances litigation and transactional demands by structuring cases to reflect both legal priorities and practical constraints. He represents individuals and entities in matters that require federal filings and interstate coordination, working within the courts and jurisdictions where he holds admission.
Lai currently focuses his practice on immigration-related matters and federal filings, representing clients in cases across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Washington and Texas.
