    I hired The Law Offices of James A. Arrasmith to help with a security deposit dispute with a former…read morelandlord. Initially, things went very well. They quickly scheduled me for a consultation with Michael, who made me feel heard and reassured. After I signed a retainer agreement, they moved promptly to gather information about my case and draft a demand letter. However, communication broke down after that. I never received confirmation that the letter had been sent. When the response deadline passed, I reached out for an update and waited about a week for a reply. I was told they had modified the response deadline (apparently because the letter hadn't gone out as planned) and to give it more time. When the new deadline passed, I again had to reach out for updates. I was told they hadn't heard back from my landlord and would try emailing the letter. Once again, I didn't hear anything further until I followed up myself. They suggested waiting another week and then possibly filing if there was still no response. When I asked, multiple times, to discuss what filing would involve, I didn't receive a response. After two weeks without communication, I decided to end my representation, as I was concerned they wouldn't be proactive or responsive enough to resolve the matter effectively. I do appreciate that they produced a well-written demand letter and that Mr. Arrasmith personally reviewed it. My final invoice also showed a recommendation to proceed with filing, though that was never actually communicated to me. The next lawyer I hired brought things to a conclusion very quickly, but I feel like the money I spent with Mr. Arrasmith was wasted because that lawyer had to repeat a lot of the same work and draft a new demand letter. Overall, I felt I had to do the follow-up work myself to keep the case moving, and their lack of communication ultimately made me lose trust in their services.

    Yelp is mainly an app for restaurant reviews. You almost never see 88 bad reviews on a…read morenon-restaurant business and if you do, absolutely believe it. A friend of mine was being sued by her deceased husband's adult children. She had the misfortune of retaining James Arrasmith's team to represent her. She was on short notice and James Arrasmith's firm was willing to take the case. In hindsight, it felt like the business strategy here is to take all cases for a retainer fee while doing minimal work. I was in the courtroom with my friend because she thought James might be a no-show on the trial date and she needed me to be the logical one and explain her dilemma to the judge. 1. The attorney assigned to the case was Aurea Garate, who does not reside in the United States according to Linkedin and State Bar of California. She did not log on zoom for an important pre-trial meeting on 8/5. This meeting was rescheduled for the morning of 8/7. On 8/7, James Arrasmith showed up on zoom, but logged off shortly before my friend's case was called. He did not immediately contact my friend, the court, or the plaintiff side for missing this meeting. He only contacted my friend on 8/9, the day before the trial. 2. James Arrasmith did not file a motion for continuance on 8/7 for the missed meeting, therefore, the trial continued as scheduled on 8/10. 3. On 8/10, James was present at the trial, but tried to make the argument that the judge should grant a continuance. Aurea Garate had an unexpected emergency, although no proof was provided to the judge on the nature of the emergency. James explained that the reason he missed the meeting on 8/7 was because he logged off zoom to call the court house to ask when my friend's case would be called. Coincidentally, that was when my friend was called and he was offline. You can be on zoom and still make the call. It was such a poor excuse that the judge said "you have a lot of excuses and I can't grant a continuance when everyone took the time to appear in court". 4. What followed was an epic beat down of James Arrasmith by the opposing side's lawyer. It was like watching a fully maxed out main character versus level 1 NPC. James was mumbling, kept focusing on a technicality that was clearly annoying the judge. The opposing side had carefully rehearsed testimony and exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4, some based on hearsay and defamatory remarks and James had prepare no evidence to counter those remarks and accusations. Every objection made by James was overruled and every objection made by the opposing side was sustained. In one instance, the judge asked James if he has further questions for the witness and James kind of froze and said "I am thinking". At one point, James asked for a recess/bathroom break and the judge even denied him that. 5. Not surprisingly, the judgement went to the opposing team, but the silver lining is that the amount awarded was reasonable and less than what the opposing team sued for. My friend would have accepted the settlement if that was offered at the pre-trial meeting and the case would not have gone to trial. It's stunning that James and his associates are not disbarred in California.

    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 was stressed, paranoid and wanted to ensure my family was taken care of should anything happen to me. Through ARAG, I found Heather Mayer and she helped me with getting my child's name change and helped me established a living trust as well. Heather was patient and informative as I was new to both of these processes. She answered all my questions, and always made the entire process stress free. Even weeks after the court paperwork were done for the name change, she offered to notarize the county paperwork for free! Finding the right lawyer is an intimidating process, but Heather treats you like a friend and never makes you feel like just another number. She is kind, personable and responsive. I highly recommend Heather and will definitely refer her all my family, friends and even strangers because she is that good!

The team member who answered was able to give me a clear outline of what to expect with costs as well as a timeline. In discovering I was a little bit behind the timeline they were able to get a consult schedule with Heather ASAP. Working with Heather was as smooth as possible, she clearly outlined every aspect of the prenup and was always available for clarification and help throughout the process. Would highly recommend Heather and her team!
