Superb Trust and Estate planning lawyer!

Sally and her team are exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. They provided my family with guidance setting up our family trust and estate planning. It could be complicated but made it clear and easy. I highly recommended her legal services!

dependable, reliable

I highly recommend Sally and her team! They are fluent in korean and english so it was great for my family. She took her time explaining the whole trust process and made it easy for my family to understand! Even though we don’t live in Georgia, she was able to make the process very easy and was very ...patient with us! Thanks for all your help!

professional and knowledgeable

Ms. Sally is an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very professional and compassionate. Alway responsive too. She is thorough, proactive and extremely experienced in this field. Additionally, all of the details and recommendations she offered me was very helpful. Highly recommended!

Extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney

My mom and I hired Sally Chung to create an asset protection trust and she and her staff were fantastic and responsive throughout the entire process. I asked Sally a lot of questions and she was very patient with me, and provided a lot of important details. I spoke with 5 other attorneys to get info ...and quotes, and by far, Sally was the most knowledgeable and professional. The very first attorney I spoke with to get details and a quote made me feel very uncomfortable...almost like she was skeptical...and did not give me all the pertinent details in deciding which type of trust to go with. I would never recommend that attorney and instead, I'm so happy we hired Sally as she was the complete opposite and I would absolutely recommend her. It also helped that Sally speaks both Korean and English to ensure my mom and I understood the details and to confirm with my mom what she wanted to do. Much appreciated!

Yea L.

We worked with Sally Chung for estate planning and trust set-up. Her prep work and extensive financial and legal background (in particular with Medicaid/Medicare elderly law) enabled us to move forward quickly and efficiently to give our family some peace of mind. An added benefit was that she prov...ided consulting and materials in both Korean and English which was very important to us.
