They were…read morecompletely professional in getting our family trust up and running, but since Feb 2025 have been radio silent. Not a single email response. Not a single voicemail returned. When I've tried calling and asking to speak to someone, I'm immediately transferred to voicemail or my number is screened and directly sent to voicemail. If the business is going under, I'd rather someone JUST SAY THAT. What a disappointing way to handle a business. I'd say "don't work with them" but in all honesty, I don't think anyone would ever get back to your inquiry anyway.

Although I am not an expert in probate, I observed that their team handled the case inefficiently,…read moreboth in terms of cost and time. As the buyer, this inefficiency did not directly impact me since I was not in a rush to close escrow, but it certainly added unnecessary costs to the estate. When it came to the confirmation hearing, no one from their firm physically appeared in court, and the attorney who called in seemed disorganized as he answered several questions incorrectly which was embarrassing for his client. While the firm may be capable of handling general estate planning and straightforward cases, I would advise seeking counsel elsewhere for complex probate litigation issues.

I was left with quite a mess as the Trustee of my mom's estate, which was a journey long before I…read morecalled Justin. My situation was an 8-year stint which involved a mom with Alzheimer's, a sister out of state, a house with an encumbrance that my sister and I inherited, a court date, buying my sister out with an enormous loan, lots of paperwork and documents, and a property tax situation. Justin handled this entire process with professionalism. He is very down to earth and such a wonderful person, that it made a complicated matter much more doable. We needed other professionals as well -- a new trust CPA, a property tax expert, and a hard money lender -- and he referred us to all of these nice quality people, who have been incredibly helpful. This made everything easier as we were, many times when necessary, on an email thread together, working symbiotically, which simplified everything. Having worked with attorneys as a court reporter for many years and also having hired a quirky attorney prior to Justin who handled previous matters, moving on and hiring Justin on a fairly complicated matter was a delight and actually resolved some issues that couldn't seem to get resolved with the previous attorney. I always felt confident that he had my back and that "he's got this." Along with being a very professional attorney, I really like him as a person. Although most everything is coming to a close, with a few last hurdles that my husband and I will handle, I will miss talking to Justin! Lastly, how I found him was on Yelp, and what convinced me to hire Justin were all of the other wonderful reviews from his past clients. Hire Justin because you won't be disappointed! :-)

Inquiry regarding T-Visa Application: Labor Trafficking with Evidence of Coercion and Witness…read moreTampering Dear [Lawyer's Name / Intake Team], I am writing to seek legal representation for a T-Visa application and associated I-192 waiver. I believe I am a victim of Labor Trafficking as defined by the TVPA, and I have substantial evidence to support my claim. Case Highlights: * Coercion & Threats: My employer has systematically used my prior immigration history (DS-160 inconsistency) as a weapon to maintain my labor. He has explicitly threatened me with deportation and claimed, "You have no status, you cannot sue me." * Witness Tampering (Key Evidence): I possess documented evidence (text messages) where the employer admitted to maintaining "double books" (illegal private accounting) and subsequently issued a formal instruction for me to "Delete the text" to destroy evidence of his illegal financial practices. * Severe Psychological Harm: I have been in professional psychological counseling since November 2025. I have been diagnosed with Severe Depression (PHQ-9 score: 24) directly resulting from the prolonged psychological abuse and fear of family separation. * Economic Exploitation: The employer utilizes family members to maintain absolute control over wage/tip distribution through a closed, fraudulent accounting system. Evidence Available for Review: 1. Screenshots of "Delete the text" instructions and deportation threats. 2. Comparative financial records (Personal checks vs. Payroll checks). 3. Comprehensive clinical psychological evaluation and ongoing treatment records. I am looking for an attorney experienced in handling T-Visas involving I-192 waivers for prior immigration misrepresentations. I would like to schedule a consultation to discuss filing a report with the Labor Commissioner's Criminal Investigation Unit and securing a Supplement B certification. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Can you speak mandarin? I need help ,please ......

We used Jay Yu earlier this year to create a will and a trust for my husband and me. The work Jay…read moredid for our estate was excellent and we found him to be a first-class professional. Jay spent time with us, making efforts to answer all our questions. He even agreed as a courtesy to answer questions that might come up later about implementing his estate plan for us. Jay is a professor of estate law, and the unique thing about him is that not only was he devoted to serving our needs, he also wanted us to understand the work he did for us. Most attorneys focus only on the results, but Jay offers that rare quality of educating his clients as well. He is careful, detailed and conscientious. In the end, Jay presented us with a nice binder that had everything we needed including instructions on how to move our assets into our trust. His process is well organized, and he was clear about what to expect. We'd definitely use Jay Yu again for future estate planning work and have already recommended him to people we know. We were grateful for his guidance in putting together estate documents that met our needs.

I am happy to write that Jonathan guided me through my first ever law suit with exceptionally great service and professionalism. He guided me through all the steps we needed to take to reach a very favorable settlement against my former employer. I caused some problems with certain emails I sent during the middle of the whole process. The problem was serious enough that I was worried it would affect my case as it was beyond the scope of the original law suit. He arranged to bring in a team of other lawyers to assist with the additional challenges I brought to the case and then contacted me with a solution before I was even aware there was a problem. This action by Mr. Moon solidified my trust in his abilities and dedication to serving my needs. I highly recommend him.
