I had to revisit and make changes to my mom's Estate Planning and trust Grimaldi Yeung implicitly to do so. We have utilized their services for almost a decade. First, their office used to be located in Bay Ridge and moved to South Slope. This location is spacious, modern, nicely decorated and offers a soothing vibe. Second, the reception we were shown from law clerk, Yung Louie, was exceptional. She was great with my mom; offered refreshments, kind words and escorted us to the conference room to enjoy our treats from nearby Bread and Joe. Third, Pauline Yeung, mom's lawyer for a decade, once again guided us with intelligence as I communicated what changes we needed with my mom's Estate Planning. She listened to my concerns, questions and delivered a seamless action plan. I left again, confident that my mom's assets were in safe hands. I cannot recommend enough this law firm; best and trusted law firm IMO in Brooklyn. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Zoe Freireich to help me with various documents. I was confused and nervous about going forward with some of this, but Zoe provided guidance about the best way to move forward. She was also very patient with me each step of the way answering all of my questions and really reducing my stress. I feel very grateful that I have now taken the correct steps to protect myself and my family. Everyone at Grimaldi Yeung was kind, helpful and professional. I sincerely recommend this firm. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Pauline Yeung who created my parents' estate plans years ago. Pauline and her team were professional and thorough, securing my parents' needs for the duration of their lives. When we lost each of them, Pauline took my calls and guided me while I was unable to think past the grief. Her support and the estate planning we had done enbabled us to focus on family at a time we needed this most. My husband and I are now working with Grimaldi Yeung to update our own estate plans, and I know from experience we can entrust this essential work to Pauline and her team. read more

Long time client, incredibly helpful for our family. David Kronenberg is a pleasure to work with.

I needed new legal documents because of a difficult change in my family circumstances. I now have solid legal documents that will protect my family and me. But more than that--I got sensitive, helpful counseling on how to handle my new circumstances. I feel I can address the future with much more confidence. Pauline Yeung is clearly very experienced in elder law--her advice has been invaluable. And she has a lovely staff. I recommend Grimaldi Yeaung Law Group very highly. read more

I'm an experienced general counsel who explored retaining this firm for an estate matter. At first it was responsive and seemed credible. But, after failing to reply to my subsequent emails, the firm tried a bait and switch by asking me to use one of their "junior" lawyers instead of the partner I interviewed and intended to hire. When I asked to interview a more senior lawyer, the firm declined. This left me with a strong impression that the firm is a combination of over-extended and/or provides deficient client services. Either way, I suggest thinking carefully before retaining this firm. read more

My wife and I were ready to set up Trusts for our estate planning changeover, but even though we were familiar with some of the requirements for that, Joanne Seminara opened our eyes to the many options and potential pitfalls in this very complicated endeavor. Joanne explained everything to us very carefully and patiently, reviewed what was in our best interests, and made several very critical suggestions. Above all she did not watch the clock, but always spent as much time as necessary for us to comprehend what was in the best interests for our family. By the end of the process, Joanne felt like family to us, which is totally unique for professionals in this field. Joanne Seminara is the ultimate professional, and I highly recommend her for her knowledge, expertise and compassion. read more

If you need a top lawyer that can also treat you as your friend, Pauline Yeung-Ha is the one. She has been helping my parents and me since 2007. My life is much easlier when I need to obtain all type of medical records for my parents without extra paperwork just because of the HIPAA Release and Authorization Form Pauline created for them. I highly recommend Pauline and her law firm without reservation. read more

I contracted Grimaldi & Yeung to create an estate trust. After working with them to create a first draft, it was sent to me---however it wasn't my Trust draft. It was someone else's. When I finally received my draft there were a dozen misspellings and grammatical errors. I told them, but after we worked on the second draft not only were there another new dozen misspellings and grammatical errors, but there were also pages of additions I never asked for and several of those things I did ask for were not included. With such sloppiness and rogue work I had to let them go. I asked if they could give me a portion of my retainer back since the work they did was not complete and was not what I asked for. They said they would not return anything. I recommend you see clear of this firm read more

I wanted to express my gratitude for the extraordinary work you provided in completing the contract for my family. I highly recommend your office to all interested in working with people who care about their clients. read more

Precision with a personable touch! This was my experience at Grimaldi Yeung Law Group. I knew I was in good hands from the moment I engaged the firm through each visit and ultimately to executing the legal documents I needed for myself and, more importantly, for my family. read more

I highly recommend Judith Grimaldi. She patiently listened to my situation concerning my elderly, stroke-victim aunt. She carefully explained the different options available, showing a level of compassion that I did not expect. She is very knowledgeable and skilled, demonstrating an impressive understanding of the law and the different needs of clients. It is obvious she puts the needs of her clients first. read more

Hi Judith, My mom now has home health care through Medicaid thanks to you and your firm. I can't thank you and your associates enough for all your hard work and kindness during a very difficult time for myself and my mom. In the future if I ever need to recommend someone to help in any aspect of elder care planning I will recommend Grimaldi and Yeung without hesitation. There was nothing more important to me than making sure that my mom received the care that she needed and you and your firm have been instrumental in me achieving my goals. read more

Due to her expertise and being repected in the legal community I received a outcome in my favor which was also a blessing to my mother. Highly highly recommended..I would not even confer with anyone else but Judy..We need more people like her in the world. She will give you whatever you need and you will feel cared for ..Her staff is equally supportive and efficient..Judy Grimaldi and her office are the real deal! read more

This practice exemplifies the rare combination of professionalism, expertise, and compassion. Judith Grimaldi was a staunch ally and advocate through the emotionally difficult process of setting up a family trust and eventually making sure that my mother had the best possible situation in a long-term care facility. Dawn Bidetti was also extremely helpful. No question or concern was too large or small--and I always received a prompt and helpful reply. I like the fact that this is a woman-led business, and I feel very confident recommending Grimaldi & Yeung to all. read more

Judy and her team have provided professional and essential legal guidance for us for multiple estate and elder planning. We highly recommend their firm. read more

On behalf of my father engaged the services of Judith Grimaldi and her team for advice to create several documents for the care of and protection of dad's medical rights, proxies, last will and a myriad of supporting requirements. Before the documents were completed dad had a major incident which hospitalized him and which kept him home from being able to travel to her office. Judith pushed her team and our family to complete the process we started. Given dads condition she visited him at home so that his estate and health documents could be finalized and executed during his recovery. MY ADVICE TO YOU: Don't try to do this yourself if you get it wrong it may be too late to correct your mistakes, please go to Grimaldi and Yeung their expertise in elder and estate planning is worth their fee. read more

Superb! Ms. Grimaldi and the entire staff provide professional, indulgent counsel and service, administered with sincere warmth . Their knowledge is vast , and they listen attentively to each client's specific individual needs before offering a course of action. The firm surely lives up to the accolades it continually receives. Clients are patiently apprised of the best options for their needs in easy-to -understand layman language, but the firm is happy to re- explain anything that might still cause uncertainty. Two of my family members and one friend have engaged Grimaldi and Yeung and we all couldn't be more pleased. read more

In my opinion, some attorneys in this firm are a lot better than others. I had two matters handled by two different G&Y attorneys. Be careful of Ms. Grimaldi, the senior partner, because she doesn't seem to know as much as she says she knows. She did used the wrong form for my benefits application and wasn't truthful about what she had done. Then she took my money when she wasn't supposed to. An attorney is expected to have a lot more integrity than that. The administrative staff is pleasant, but shockingly inept. I have a new attorney now. My experience with G&Y attorneys was very uneven. I thought one was really good, but one was infuriating and more than disappointing. read more

On the advice of financial consultants we have been working with for years we asked GRIMALDI and YEUNG to assist on the setting up of a Trust Fund in New York for our disabled son. This involved getting access to funds that had previously been administered by a state court. This involved considerable complications as while we are US citizens we are located in London and our son could not travel to the US to make court appearances. GRIMALIDI and YENUG did an exceptional job both representing us and keeping us informed at every stage of the process. We had as much access as we needed both to the excellent junior staff and also to one of the principals of the firm Judith Grimaldi. The firm set up a Skpe interview with a court appointed assessor so he could to determine to the judge's satisfaction that our son was not able to represent himself and made many other interventions with the court to facilitate and expedite the process. It terminated in a result that was completely to our satisfaction. Besides achieving the desired result the firm gave lots of helpful advice to ensure the trust was set up in a way that will facilitate its use to our son's maximal advantage. This firm provides an excellent service with a staff that are fully engaged, fully professional, and in fact are downright friendly. read more
