Lam first joined Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach as a law clerk in 1996. Helping people in the refugee camps with translation and social services further drew her to the law.

Lam’s work laid the ground work for establishing an office and solid presence in the East Bay. "It was difficult breaking out to the community as a new group especially because domestic violence was not yet talked about in the community. The ADVC was an important step because there were no other resources available," states Lam. Lam has spent her time as an API Legal Outreach attorney assisting survivors of domestic violence and seniors, especially in the Vietnamese community.
