Unscrupulous, Unresolved and Overcharged

I made a costly mistake by not terminating Yang Law sooner. I engaged Yang Law to assist with a 100% amicable divorce, with all stipulations agreed to by both parties. After asking me questions about my case, I was told that it could be handled by a paralegal, so I put my trust in Yang Law and put do...wn a retainer. To date, I have been charged over $4,000 and the only action that has occured is the paralegal filled out and mailed three 2-3 page forms. The paralegal asked for 20+ pieces of financial, and other pertinent information and invoiced thousands of dollars for their "review". I was then sent a boiler plate agreement that did not match my case, given no instruction, and was in told by Yang Law to modify it on my own. I am not an attorney and, when I expressed my reservations about a DIY approach, I was told they were trying to "save me money". I proceeded to do my best with the agreement and send it back to their paralegal. It's been three months since then without feedback. After five frustrating months, I intend to seek another atto

Brutal Overcharges

Her office is desperate for work so they’ll grab your case although they lack expertise and experience. You can expect from them only dishonesty, factual mistakes, not returning calls and brutal overcharges where 26 min call is roundup to 3 hrs…

"While Elizabeth is a fellow attorney in the LA area who provides top flight legal services in several areas including IP/Patent/Trademark, family law, and business litigation, I am endorsing her for more than her excellent reputation in the industry. I actually hired Elizabeth and her firm for my own Intellectual Property matters -- and that is literally the biggest professional endorsement I can give anyone. I am an attorney, and I hired her to be my attorney. Enough said."
