We had a very good experience with Mr.Li for help setting up our family trust and will. He was very patient explaining our legal plan policy coverage and answering all of our questions. The document was prepared very clear, and it's super easy to get all things completed in a timely manner. I'd highly recommend Mr.Li read more

Legal documents are very confusing. Like others in my position, I hire a lawyer to guide me through the process. To be fair, in a barebones manner, that is what I got with MD Laws. The issue was the unnecessary indignities along the way. Seconds into the first call, rather than listening to understand my specific goals, he sought to fast track the process by steering me toward one of his boilerplates and warned that any deviation will cost a lot more. He was unusually blunt, and lacked a certain politeness and mannerism one would expect from a professional. Nevertheless, he seemed knowledgable, and I figured I was helping out a small local business. After the trust was prepared, it would have been good to proactively schedule a phone call to provide counsel on common issues to watch out for. Instead, MD Law offered two instruction sheets, along with more instructions in an email. This is the email I'll refer to in an example below. I asked, repeatedly, if there were any other estate planning legal documents I should consider for the future. After the *third* time, he finally answered. Rather than simply saying "what we have done here is enough for a typical middle class person. If things change, I can help", he, confusingly, said how he wasn't charging extra fees for the services provided. Then, he launched into how there are too many scenarios for him to even begin answering the question. First example of unnecessarily creating a negative experience. When the notary noticed a blank field on a form and refused to notarize, slightly panicking, I called MD Laws for clarification. Rather reminding me the answer, which would have taken no time at all, he scolded me, saying he had already addressed it in the email, then questioned why I couldn't just go check the email and *waited* for my answer. I wasn't sure what to say... did he want me to apologize for not remembering all the instructions and to sift through my phone for his email in public? Therefore, again, going out of the way to be punishing and obnoxious. Knowing that he may not be aware how some of that behaviors can come across, I gently reminded him that it's unnecessary to treat clients this way. Somehow that feedback really set him off. To say his reply was shockingly unprofessional would be an understatement. So yet again, out of all the easier and more positive choices, he took time to pick an extremely negative one. It doesn't take a lot to create a great customer experience, and for the sake of building his business further, I hope he'd stop going out of the way to create a bad one. read more

I would like to share my experience working with Mr. Li for the excellent and expedited services I have received and I wanted to convey my Thanks to Mr. Li! Before approaching Mr. Li, I had done my home work of my needs and laws around subject area. This allowed me to ask the relevant questions and seek clarity from Mr. Li. As we started to work with first consultation call, Mr. Li quickly gave an overview of what is involved in the process and what will be the steps and costs to complete. As next step, Mr. Li reviewed the entire process in detail, answered all the questions, explained the impact of Tax and future implications. Mean while ensuring that he has answered all the questions for each of the clarifications. Next step was simply to review the draft docs and perform an on-line document signature process which was straight forward. Then he had offered a Notary service recommendation if we don't have one. Thats it. In just couple of calls and reviews the entire process was complete. read more

We contacted Mr. Li, at the MD law firm to establish our Family Trust. He was fantastic to work with. We were able to meet with Mr. Li via Zoom which was greatly appreciated since both my husband and I work in different cities. The convenience was incredible and the appointment was scheduled swiftly from the point of first contact. When we met, Mr. Li was careful to educate us thoroughly on more than we ever expected to need to consider in setting up the Trust. We were grateful for that. Mr. Li broke everything down for us in language that we could understand and digest and followed up with detailed emails of instruction and reference materials. Working through the Trust process with Mr. Li was easy, educational and swift. Highly recommend. read more

We connected with Mr. Yong Li through MetLife plan from my wife's employer. Our initial meeting was a Zoom meeting and was very informative and thorough. He answered all our questions and set up our trust so we would be able to make certain changes without the need for hiring a new lawyer, something our previous lawyer had done. Because I have been married to a Chinese woman for over 18 years, I have come to learn that Americans and Chinese have totally different ways of expressing themselves. What a typical Caucasian, like me, might consider rude or abrasive, is normal, to-the-point conversation. I have also learned that Americans, especially me, can be totally clueless about how our English usage can be likewise misunderstood by the Chinese ears. I took no offense and had nothing but efficient interaction with Mr. Li. Because we treated each other with respect, he has been very helpful and got us the restatement of trust in record time. I highly recommend him and his firm! read more

I had a great experience with Mr. Li. I received his information from MetLife law through my company. Mr. Li made this process quick, painless and easy. He does talk fast and gets through things quickly, which may have been seen as "rude or short" as described by previous reviewers. I personally appreciate someone that is fast and efficient. I would recommend Mr. Li unless you are looking for warm and fuzzy and need a little more love instead of legal advice:) read more

My wife and I have recently completed the restatement of our living trust through the services of Dr. Yong Li. Since this was our first restatement of the trust in more than 20 years, we had to closely assess his legal advice and review the updates. In our opinion, Dr. Li is an exceptional lawyer who is very detail-oriented and made the restatement process relatively straightforward. During the process, he even found and promptly corrected a material error that our previous lawyer had made on our deed. Dr. Li's working style is no-nonsense and his legal advice and guidance are clear, concise, and invaluable. While he does not spend too much time on small talk or sugarcoating reality, he prefers to provide his clients (my wife and I) clear and practical legal advice. This is exactly what we have been looking for, a lawyer who is highly effective and efficient as well as no nonsense. Anyone who needs substantial chitchats and/or pampering by his/her lawyer should look elsewhere. However, if one is looking for a lawyer who can provide exceptional legal advice, be to-the-point, and get the work completed in a highly efficient manner, Dr. Li is the guy! We will certainly refer Dr. Li to our friends and families who are in need of excellent estate planning legal advice and services, and we will definitely keep Dr. Li's contact details handy in case we need additional legal services from him again in the near future. read more

Precise, accurate, thorough work. Yong did an amazing job putting together our trust and related documents. He was very receptive of our edits and always patiently and directly answered our numerous questions. Will most certainly do business with him again in the future. Highly recommended. read more

I had a brief phone conversation with Yong Li (for less than 10 min) and a few email exchange to set up a time for zoom meeting. The general feeling that I got from email exchange and talking to him on the phone were similar what Sarah D. got. He seemed to unhappy and I felt like talking a rude person who are mad at me. And his email reply is very unprofessional. Thank you Sarah D. for leaving a review and saving me from going forward with him. Before having the first zoom meeting, I contacted our employer's legal plan and asked to be reassigned to different lawyer. When I emailed him that I will be reassigned to different lawyer, well, I got a reply from him that made me to come here to write this review and thank Sarah D. for saving me. read more

We worked with Yong Li for our trust and will and it was not a pleasant experience! We were connected to him through our employer's legal plan and he seemed to not be happy to be working with us through that arrangement? He was super rude and short in our dealings and I wanted to fully switch lawyers but we went through with it. When it was finished and we went to buy a house and put in the trust, he refused to answer was small clarification question that we needed in order to use the trust. (He didn't even give us the option of paying him for this one question or filing another claim to be connected with him). We ended up talking to another lawyer and what a change that was!! I realized we could have a friendly, nice lawyer who answered our questions all along. He didn't even charge us to answer this small clarification question that would likely have taken Yong 90 seconds to answer based on the fact he worked on our trust and will directly. read more
