Working with a difficult defense team

During the course of my lawsuit, I became ill with cancer. Ed kept me informed and helped me make decisions that made sense to me and definitely reflected my desires. He worked diligently to ensure that the outcome was positive without adding to the stress I was experiencing health-wise. At the be...ginning of the case, I discussed with him the outcome I considered fair and he moved in that direction, fighting valiantly to achieve that goal. He did not bother me with minor details but made informed decisions that moved the case forward. He was able to work with a very difficult defensive team never losing sight of our goal despite the defense's unwillingness to even negotiate. A lawsuit is never without stress or upset and Ed did an amazing job of protecting my interests, moving the case to a positive outcome and protecting me. I highly recommend him!

BEST LAWYER

I interviewed a lot of lawyers and picked Edward Yun to represent me for my wrongful termination. I picked him because from the beginning he seemed to really care about me. I worked for a major corporation for 10 years who terminated me because I refused to be picked on. From the beginning to the... end he has always look out for my wellbeing and if I was not only satisfied but happy with my results. I have never worked with a lawyer who went above and beyond, even after the case settle he called to see if we had any questions. He won me more money than I thought I could win and believed in me.

Total Satisfaction

I am extremely happy to recommend Ed . I have never felt more comfortable with the handling of my case. At all times Ed and his group made me feel as I was their most important client. They were honest and fair with me and I was always kept totally up to date with all interactions that occurred. I ...could not have been more satisfied with the results and would always consider using Ed to seek any legal advice.

Respectful, Integrity

Unbeilivable, can not express enough how important it was for the lawyer working on my case to communicate with me. Every step of the way I was informed, allowed to be in on the decision making process, with guidance of course. My case was very nasty, but Ed was very professional, didn't allow the t...he facts to get lost in all the mumbo jumbo. And of course the firm shows what kind of leader it has in Mr. Yun. Thank you again.

"During my time as general counsel I sought Ed's advice on an employment issue. He was thorough but quick and provided us with great input on how we should handle the employment situation at hand. His knowledge of employment law is expansive and knows how to communicate it directly and effectively without making things complicated. I've known Ed professionally and personally for over a decade now. As a friend he is trustworthy and caring and as a professional he is dependable, intelligent and tough without the ego. I fully endorse him."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"It's not that common to find a lawyer who is really smart, super hard-working, and personable. I know from experience that Ed is one of these very few. Doesn't just know the law, but understands how to use the law strategically to achieve his clients' goals, which is really what being an effective lawyer is all about. I remember being in federal trial with Ed and witnessing first hand how he anticipated the opposition's key closing argument the night before and prepared the perfect counter that resulted in a jury win for our client. Can't endorse Ed highly enough."
