When my wife and I needed our trusts redone, I researched available law firms specializing in wills and trusts. Yee Law Group stood out during my research, and we are very happy we chose them for this project. At our first meeting with Michael Yee, it was obvious that he was an expert in this area of the law. He confidently answered all of our questions in ways that made his answers clear and understood. He gave us full confidence in every aspect of the professional relationship. Importantly, every communication with his staff was friendly and helpful, and it made us feel as though we were important clients of the firm. Our project is now complete, and it is easy for me to add my own 5-star review to all of the other 5-star reviews earned by Michael's law firm. The professional fee charged was fair, and I highly recommend Yee Law Group for all legal matters relating to wills and trusts.

I was at a lost when I found out I had to review my father's Will. The quantity of language, coupled with ambiguous words made it difficult to decipher. To make matters worst, I didn't know what to do, or who to turn to? I found Jack online, and I figured I might as well message him. He called me within the hour, and talked to me about my situation. He wasn't about the money, but more about the service. And he gave me a fee I could work with. The next day I sent the document to him via email. He was able to decipher it within an hour, and ADD language that I never even knew existed. The best part? He answered all my questions. Now, I can rest every night knowing that the Will was written properly. I thanked Jack for all his hard work. I am going to recommend him to all my friend's and family, and of course I will be going through him in the future to hopefully set up a Trust. Thanks Jack. You made more than a client, but a friend. Your friend, Joseph

Exceptional Family Law Attorney - Honest, Skilled, and Truly Supportive…read more I've worked with Matthew Ritchie multiple times on child custody matters over the years, and I can confidently say he is one of the most trustworthy and effective attorneys out there. Family law can be emotionally and financially draining. Still, Matthew consistently provided clear, honest guidance without ever pushing unnecessary legal actions just to inflate a bill - a rare quality in this field. His integrity and deep knowledge of the law were evident in every interaction. He was always responsive when I had questions, and I never felt left in the dark about my case. Matthew took the time to explain my options thoroughly and helped me make informed legal decisions that truly prioritized my child's well-being. If you're looking for a family law attorney who genuinely CARES, communicates clearly, and delivers results without games or gimmicks, I highly recommend Matthew Ritchie.

As I had a question, I gave it a try, thinking "John" was a para-legal or administrative assistant to one of the partners. I made it brief, so as to not take up staff's time, and figured I'd get a reply in a day or two. I was wrong. I received a reply from John the same day, not assistant to a partner "John", and not para-legal "John', but one of the Partners, Mr. John Palley "John" ! I did not mean to bother such a busy person with my question, but Mr. Palley's reply made me feel as if my question was valid and was not an imposition on his time. Really made my day!

When others treat you like you are a case and check, he will tell you what you want and need to hear. It may not be what you want to hear, but he does let you know he will be there to represent your best interest. He keeps you informed, he is well versed as some of those attorneys who have been practicing twice as long. He's not flashy and self absorbed, his staff is professional and take accurate messages. He will be there to fix what other attorneys broke without saying "I told you so." Mr. Dahl does not lose sight of what or why he practices this field of law. He is reasonable with his fees and, dare I say, he is worth it and more just for the peace of mind. I don't know how he does with the planning part of estate but in administration he is top notch. Wish there were more like him.

I asked a specific question about drafting a Durable Power of Attorney when setting up your estate plan. He blasted my question during the webinar, he was rude and condescending, he said my question was too specific, he didn't answer my question at all (not even in general), and told me to book time to ask questions. He however, answered everyone else's questions. He was incredibly rude, just based on his attitude with over 50 people on the line, I would never use this Attorney. I recommend Yoest Law Firm. They are by far the best probate law firm in Sacramento. They are kind, smart, resourceful, and they are never disrespectful no matter what questions you have.

We settled for less than half of what the law office attempted to charge. Please don't waste your time and money with this particular lawyer.

I am leaving this review because of the frustrating back-and-forth we experienced…read more At first, the attorney, Hannah Leigh Myers (#337987), seemed like a good fit for helping us set up a trust for my father. However, as we continued working with her, things began to unravel, and my family was given the runaround. I try to be fair and provide context: my father is older but still sharp and independent. However, I assist him with certain tasks, particularly with technology like scanning docs and sending them via email. This seemed to bother Hannah and whomever else she may have worked with because my father was unclear about what he had signed electronically when the secretary had called him about something and led to him say something that contributed to the back and forth/confused on both their parts. I wasn't on the call so I don't know what led to the secretary's opinion about the e-signed docs being an issue. This led to nearly a week of no contact, and eventually, we were told we had to come into the office to provide a physical signature on the same documents we had already e-signed and prior to the e-sign we sent the scanned hard copies in via email. But listen, here is the thing had my father and me never met Hannah in person before this whole e-sign thing, I wouldn't have formed such a negative opinion of her office, workflow, and customer service style (Literally never calling us back only through her office assistant). However, we did meet in person and clearly explained that my father lives with me and that I assist him with certain tasks. I also shared that setting up the trust was my idea to prevent future legal hassles and stress for our family. At that time, she had no objections and even said as I remember it something like 'no I don't see any reason you helping him will be an issue, I can tell if there is something weird going on with families'. After nearly two months of back-and-forth communication, despite meeting in person, the experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I felt compelled to share my experience. I can't help but wonder if things would have played out differently had I not been involved in supporting my veteran father. Regardless, their poor customer service, lack of professionalism, and inability to effectively work with a Black family led to us taking our business elsewhere.
