About May
May Xu earned her law degree from Seattle University School of Law, entering in 2018 and receiving her J.D. in 2021. Her time in law school included practical training and clinic work that informed her early steps after graduation. Columbia records about moot court or law review are not part of the available information.
After law school, Xu joined the King County Neighborhood Legal Clinic as a General Clinic Lawyer in 2022. In that role she worked directly with community members seeking legal help. She handled client intake, offered advice, and provided limited representation on a range of civil matters typical of neighborhood clinics. The position put her in regular contact with people facing housing, benefits, and consumer law questions.
Following her clinic work, Xu moved into private practice. She founded May Xu Law, PLLC and developed a small practice based in Washington. The firm’s public profile is concise. It emphasizes accessible counsel and individual client attention rather than broad institutional work.
Xu is licensed to practice in Washington. She maintains ties to local legal networks and the community that informed her earlier clinic work. Those connections have informed how she organizes time and resources in private practice. Colleagues describe her approach as practical and detail-oriented; she aims to give clients clear options rather than sweeping promises.
Her courtroom and administrative work has been grounded in the everyday problems that bring people to neighborhood clinics and small firms. She has handled matters that require careful intake work and clear communication. That background shapes how she approaches new matters at her firm.
As of 2026, Xu balances casework at May Xu Law, PLLC with outreach to community groups that seek legal information. She operates her firm in Washington and concentrates on serving clients in the state on civil legal matters.
