A good lawyer is everything.... - Lew Ashby…read more So we decided that given all the changes we have had that our decades old trust was no longer cutting it, and decided to simply start out fresh. We had poked around our area and none of the local estate firms really seemed to fit our needs. At the suggestion of a good friend we gave the Yee Law Group a call. From beginning to end the experience was excellent. In terms of getting this done we were the ones that lagged a bit and every time we provided or revised something, we heard back in less that one business day. The were friendly and professional at every turn. We headed up to Sacramento and signed the documents with no fuss. Friendly, competent legal services with reasonable pricing? Look no further

I practiced law in Chicago for many years before retiring to Northern California, so when I need a…read morelawyer for help in an area of the law outside my own expertise, I am very particular about who I retain. 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 had a great experience with her and the law firm, she was just like the people that recommended…read morehad said.

I filed for bankruptcy in March, and used David Ritzinger as my attorney. Initially he was great to…read morework with. Once he had my money, and I had questions, things changed. Anytime I asked a question, I got a short, stern, and/or sometimes downright rude response. He filed my case incorrectly which he had to re-do and of course it caused delays. There was an issue with my vehicle redemption loan that I did through the bankruptcy and my vehicle ended up being repossessed because he entered the wrong lender info when filing the case. When I asked for his help in resolving it he wanted to charge me even more money ($1500-5000!!) when it never would have happened if he would have entered the correct lender info. He is rude and incompetent.

I am writing this review to provide a warning to anyone looking for a good estate attorney. Since…read moremy mother's death, matters with siblings have become adversarial due to the great deal of money Involved, and personal dynamics. Because of this, I've needed to find a very adept attorney to represent my interests as a trustee/beneficiary with An executor who refuses to provide me nothing in the way of accounting, etc. I was referred to Mr. David Knitter by a great attorney who practiced further away, to possibly intervene if my interests. I called his office immediately explained the situation and afterwards the assistant answering the phone was so curt, telling me I couldn't even speak with Mr. Knitter unless I paid him $600 upfront without knowing if I even like him or vice versa. I would then be $600 an hour after that and she would have to speak with Knitter first and call me right back. She didn't and I had to leave, so I called back only to be rebuffed this time by saying that Mr. Knitter was in depositions (?) and would call tomorrow. i never again heard from that same person or anyone in the office, so right off the bat this law office lied for whatever reason, and then didn't have enough class to just call and let me know that they didn't want to take the case. i would think that any firm that wants to maintain a good reputation in this area of the law, would have more empathy and sensitivity with every client. Thank you. Mary M

Finding James Hammer was such a relief. From the moment I walked into his office which is…read moreprofessional, beautifully decorated, and welcoming I felt at ease. I brought my 18-month-old daughter, and he made it completely comfortable for us both. I had a lot of questions and concerns, and he never rushed me during our free consultation and was very generous with his time. He patiently walked me through different scenarios, explaining why I shouldn't make certain decisions too early, which gave me real peace of mind. He also recommended a fiduciary, set up the call, and made sure I wasn't charged just to get a file started. Everything was setup as flat, "out-the-door" fee so there were no surprises. Knowing he recently became a dad himself made him even more relatable and understanding. I left feeling like I had a plan, not stress, and that my daughter's future was in good hands. He's knowledgeable, honest, patient, and genuinely family-friendly. I would recommend James Hammer to anyone who wants both expertise and a lawyer who truly cares.
