Straight forward, thorough and efficient.

As a physician owner of my own practice, i have dealt with my share of lawyers. I can say that attorney Yeung’s law firm has been there for our difficult turning points in life, giving us clarity and guidance. She is thorough and efficient. Her team including Ms Bidetti have been very supportive a...nd present dealing with the complex estate needs that my mom has set up. Even though I know many people in estate planning including my own spouse, I take the train, go back to ny to consult with attorney Yeung and the team whenever I need estate guidance. Straight forward good attorney office.

Excellent Lawyer

Ms. Yeung-Ha provided excellent legal advice in setting up a trust for my daughter and helping us to understand how it works. Her efforts on my behalf were thorough and detailed.

Medicaid Estate Recovery

Ms. Yeung-Ha and her law firm aided me in obtaining Medicaid coverage for my mother who is in a nursing home. At that point I needed advice about Medicaid's ability to put a lien on my mother's house. Ms. Yeung-Ha was extremely helpful in advising me on the scope of the process and things I should c...onsider going forward. I am grateful for the knowledge and expertise she has in this area. I highly recommend Pauline Yeung-Ha and the Grimaldi & Yeung law firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
