She later continued her education and obtained a law degree from the University of La Verne and began practicing law in 2007. In 2011, she opened her own practice, specializing in intellectual property law, business law, and family law.

In 2016 and 2017, Yang was honored with “Top 100 Civil Lawyers” and “Top 40 Lawyers Under 40” awards from the National Trial Lawyers Association. In 2017, she was also received the “Lawyers of Distinction” award, representing the top 10 percent of lawyers in the U.S.
