of others, Lu appreciates the mentorship of Ti any & Bosco’s Jim O’Sullivan. “He is both my sponsor and mentor,” she says. “A men- tor is someone who will help you identify and reach your goals, and sometimes make you try something that you otherwise might not. A sponsor, on the other hand, will tell others of your accolades when you are not or cannot be in the room and sees you as his protégé so he is invested in your success. He is happy when I succeed and even happier when I mentor others based on what I learned.”
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
As someone who easily gets along with a wide variety of people and personalities—a bene cial trait she brings to serving her clients—Lu loves to get out in the world and discover new people and cultures. She tries to take an international trip every year and has the impres- sive goal of visiting 40 countries before her 40th birthday. She is getting close to achieving that goal—10 more countries to go! Recent trips abroad were to Cancún, Mexico, Central Europe including Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, and Hong Kong and Macau, China. When she travels, she prefers the architecture, buildings and bright lights of big cities to smaller towns.
“I like city life,” she says. “I love all of the lights that turn on at night. I love learning about di erent customs, cultures and peoples. It really broadens your horizons and helps you understand people better to see things from their perspectives.”
“I do like coming home, though,” she adds. “And I can’t imagine liv- ing in any other place than Phoenix.”
At home, she enjoys trying new restaurants with her husband, Bill Dyjak, who is a realtor in the Phoenix area. e couple share their home with a betta sh named Tianbao, named a er a Chinese pirate operating in the South China Sea in the late 1700s. Lu is also very close to her younger brother—the siblings are only 14 months apart—who lives in the Midwest with her two nieces and with whom she enjoys visiting. She is also an avid reader of ction.
CAREER LESSONS
Asked about the most important lesson she’s learned in school, life and her career, Lu says: “Over time I’ve learned your reputation is everything so be nice to everybody, or at least be cordial. You never know when you will need a favor from someone or have to interact with them.”
For this Super Lawyer, understanding the law, business and her cli- ents, has taken her very far already...and Lu hopes her reputation will continue to grow.
“I want to continue to build a reputation in the legal community as a seriously good business transactions attorney,” she says.
