We're immigrants…read moreand not very familiar with complicated American legal systems so it was amazing to have people like Adam and James walk us through this process. They made everything easy to understand which is important since I am so unsophisticated with issues of laws and regulations. And they had some great solutions for some of our trickier questions, I can definitely say they offer some very creative legal advise ;-) On a personal note, I would also say I got a very good vibe from both James and Adam. Adam is so outgoing and charming and, even though James comes off a lot more shy and reserved, he's clearly a good guy and not "slick" like a lot of lawyers come off. I also get the vibe that they are both good family men with strong traditional values, which made me feel so comfortable bringing my parents to them. I definitely recommend them to anyone!

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.

Excellent Customer Service from beginning to end…read more I have been putting off something I needed to do for sometime. I needed to get a living trust done. One can never be too prepared. I searched in Yelp for a law firm that can do this for me. Among the five law firms that were suggested by Yelp Mike Yee from Yee Law Group was the one who responded first. Mind you, this was on a Saturday where most law offices are closed. Mike was responsive with great follow-through. He answered many of my questions, he was professional and nice and from that communication I agreed to a free consultation. I did inquire with two other firms but Mike had the most reasonable rates. Their main office is on Land Park in Sacramento but I found out that they also have a convenient location right here in Roseville just 5 mins from my work. We started the process and completed the whole thing in less than two months. I'm so glad to finally get this one task done. Thank you, Mike and the Yee Law Group for a smooth and painless transaction. Review #3196

We worked with him to complete our trust that included documents such as our Wills, POAs and Advance Health Care Directives. He is thorough and always makes himself available to answer any of your questions. The entire process can be daunting but with Randy it's less intimidating and manageable. We had several questions along the way and learned a lot. He goes above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible. He clearly explains how long the process would take and completed everything on schedule.

It is a very good feeling to know you have a trusted attorney who will always have your back! And…read morefor me, that attorney is Mathew D. Scott. This is an updated review from my original of 11/09/2020. Matthew brings years of knowledge and experience to every case he handles. If you read my first review, I met him in the dark days of Covid. I was selling my home under a stressful situation while buying and moving into a new one! He handled everything for me and made the process flow perfectly to a most successful conclusion. I have much gratitude for his assistance. Recently, and three years later, I called upon him for yet another legal issue. His expeditous intervention, along with his reliable and highly skilled team, again saved the day for me. Matthew is a true professional you can trust to always have your best interests as his number one priority. You will find no one who will work harder to get you where you need to be. And his sense of humor always surfaces just when you need it the most! I strongly recommend Matthew based upon his years of experience, knowledge of the law, and unwavering integrity. He has so many other valuable skills. Take a moment and review the website for more information about this exceptional attorney. I trust him. Thank you, Matthew!

We called upon Matthew after my MIL passed to take care of legal issues my wife had been dealing…read morewith her family sibling which was back in 2016. Matthew stood up to the usual expensive corporate lawyer & his past experiences showed through. We felt lucky to have Matthew's support that we felt a review was necessary to show that Matthew cares & will help you in the best way possible. Wifey had worked for UCDMC so we have ARAG legal insurance which Matthew takes right away. Just be sure to let him know before and/or during your first visit. We also had him update our will & living trusts several years ago. So we just didn't use him just once. Actually we were going to use him again just recently last year but fortunately for us we didn't need to as family situations can be always so precarious. Don't hesitate to make that appointment right away. We have met with him in both the Elk Grove & Roseville offices & a separate law firm downtown when he represented my wife. He communicates well through emails & phone calls if needed. He does come highly recommended by both me & my wife. Just know Matthew is thorough, experienced, efficient and above all professional in his attorney occupation. He will help you in the best way possible legally & please take this advice with the utmost confidence. Thank you Matthew for all you have done for us. We can't ask for a better person to do this job for us as he has supported us in so many ways. We have been so blessed. By the way I was just informed Matthew is only at the Roseville office now. We had contacted him via email last year so I was unaware of the only one office. It was very convenient back then but that doesn't stop us from being a returning customer when needed.
