About Lunbing
Lunbing Altaffer built a legal identity that crosses continents. She trained in China and added an American law degree in the years that followed. The combination shapes how she approaches cases and clients.
She began her formal legal training at China University of Political Science & Law, where she earned a Juris Master, a credential that is certified as equivalent to a JD. Later she pursued graduate study in the United States, completing an LL.M. at the University of California, Davis in the early 2010s. Those studies exposed her to comparative legal systems and to the procedural demands of U.S. courts.
After finishing her education, Altaffer secured admission to practice in multiple forums. She is admitted in Texas and in China and holds permissions to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She is also admitted in the United States District Courts for both the Northern and Southern Districts of Texas. That mix of state, federal and international credentials allows her to move between different court systems and regulatory frameworks.
Her career has included the formation of a private practice. Altaffer is a principal at Altaffer & Chen PLLC, where she works alongside colleagues on matters that touch both domestic and cross-border dimensions. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing cases. She approaches evidence and filings with attention to procedural detail. In court she has navigated motions and hearings in federal venues, and she has managed matters that require coordination across legal systems.
Clients who engage her counsel encounter an attorney comfortable with written advocacy and court appearances. She can prepare briefs for appellate consideration in the Fifth Circuit and present arguments in federal district courts in Texas. Her background in Chinese and American law informs how she frames jurisdictional questions and addresses conflicts of law when parties or documents span borders.
She has maintained professional ties since at least the mid-2010s and continues to practice from Altaffer & Chen PLLC. She currently handles matters in Texas courts and cases that involve Chinese law or parties across borders.
