We used Jay Yu earlier this year to create a will and a trust for my husband and me. The work Jay did for our estate was excellent and we found him to be a first-class professional. Jay spent time with us, making efforts to answer all our questions. He even agreed as a courtesy to answer questions that might come up later about implementing his estate plan for us. Jay is a professor of estate law, and the unique thing about him is that not only was he devoted to serving our needs, he also wanted us to understand the work he did for us. Most attorneys focus only on the results, but Jay offers that rare quality of educating his clients as well. He is careful, detailed and conscientious. In the end, Jay presented us with a nice binder that had everything we needed including instructions on how to move our assets into our trust. His process is well organized, and he was clear about what to expect. We'd definitely use Jay Yu again for future estate planning work and have already recommended him to people we know. We were grateful for his guidance in putting together estate documents that met our needs.
Just a quick update on our original post. We had a dog bite issue that arose, and Jay Yu was very gracious in investigating the initial issues to see if it made sense for us to pursue a claim. He devoted significant time and effort (and even some expense) to helping us, even though ultimately, we weren't able to go forward with a claim or hire his firm. Even so, that didn't affect the level of excellence and effort he put into helping us. This is the kind of integrity and selfless generosity that Jay and his firm consistently exhibit. Their consistency in keeping clients informed and supporting their interests are unparalleled. We cannot recommend Jay and his firm highly enough and would not hesitate to use them in a future matter.
