--------------------------
From Suky on 11/14/2014


The architect I work with is Leo Li, his email is leoli77@gmail.com, phone number is 408 757-9928. This is also my first time working with an architect. I have talked to two architect before going with Leo. I am still working with him on the blueprint since we won't start the construction until next year. So far, I really like working with him. He is very professional and reasonable. He gave me many suggestions on the addition as well as the rest of the house in term of design and house's value. He came up with couple plans for me to pick and made change according to my request. The plans he came up with all look good in my opinion. 
------------------
I called Leo and spoke with him on 11/14/2014 and had a short conversation.  He seemed very nice and professional over the phone.   Please feel free to mention my name when you call, and if you do use his service, I would appreciate any feedback of your experience of working with him.  Thank you in advance!
