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

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.

A couple of weeks after my house was on the market, I was happy to receive an offer from a couple…read more As per standard practice, 3% of the agreed price was wired by the buyers to the title company handling the escrow. The buyers then proceeded to do their due diligence with various inspections, etc. Once the buyers were totally satisfied, they then removed all contingencies. I thought the rest of the process would be straightforward as we counted down towards the mutually agreed close-of-escrow date. But it turned out that the buyers' lending bank, which had earlier preapproved the buyers, decided at the last minute to back out, so the escrow fell through. I then had to go through the process of putting my house on the market again. Two months after that failed escrow, I received a letter from an attorney representing the unsuccessful buyers who argued that these buyers should get all their initial Ernest Money Deposit (EMD) back (this EMD was still being held by the title company). It was then that I contacted Cary Kletter's office to see if they would represent me in dealing with the buyers' attorney. Upon learning the key facts of this aborted escrow, Cary believed that I had a good case and agreed to represent me. So Cary wrote a very firm letter to the buyers' attorney. By first reminding the buyers the salient facts of this case, and why the escrow failed, Cary easily dismissed any basis the buyers might have for laying claim to the EMD. Nonetheless, Cary offered the buyers a small percentage of the EMD to settle the matter; the alternative being to go to mediation. Cary made it very clear to the buyers that should they lose in mediation, they would be responsible for all associated costs, including attorney fees. Thus with this one well-articulated and forceful letter, Cary was able to gain the upper hand in the negotiation that followed. This negotiation in fact went on for two more rounds. With each round, the buyers' attorney showed that they were willing to take a smaller and smaller percentage of the EMD. With the buyers evidently in retreat, Cary then issued a very strong 'take-it-or-go-mediation' final offer. The buyers' had little choice but to accede. Even though I did not get all the EMD and was quite sure that I would win in mediation, I was very happy with the final settlement. I was most relieved that we managed to avoid all the time and hassle of the mediation process. So I have to say Cary really knows his stuff when it comes to such negotiations! I was very impressed by Cary's negotiating style and tactics, and I am most grateful that he represented me.

We were in need of transferring family property into my name, which was handled by Mr. Robert Wong. Mr. Wong thoroughly explained the process, made sure I provided all documentation needed for a proper transfer and completed the transfer with the help of his assistant Bethany, notary. Each appointment I had with Mr. Wong was handled very professionally. Our other need was for a will and living trust to be created for both of us. Mr. Michael Yee oversaw the entire process, interviewing us in person and giving us extended time to explain our needs and to collect the information needed for a proper will and living trust for us. It is very important to create a will and living trust that cannot be disputed. Mr. Yee created the perfect documents for our needs, providing a beautiful binder (more elaborate than any I've ever seen before! The binder comes with all the documentation, tabs,letterhead and a very nice red pen. Very classy and functional!) We feel that the cost to create our wills and living trusts is absolutely proper. With our interaction with Mr. Yee at his law firm, we interacted with his assistants (I apologize if assistant is not the correct title) who were always kind, polite, professional and helpful each time we were in the office. Ms Laurel, Ms. Bethany, Ms. Beth (Bethany also), Ms. Rachael and the entire staff were always alert and presented theirselves as professionals in their fields. The office is very clean and welcoming! We feel we are protected now and highly recommend the Ayer Law Group to anyone in need of estate planning.
