I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer

I highly recommend the Law Offices of James Yang. I couldn’t have asked for better representation when I felt like my whole world was collapsing. Mr. Yang and his firm is extremely knowledgeable and patient beyond measure. I was an emotional wreck and I could not have handled this without them. They ...always answered my calls and questions and even sent text updates and reminders which I desperately needed

Great law firm

The law offices of James Yang have been such a pleasure to work with. Tony handled my case and I’ve had the greatest experience with him, he responded to my inquiry via Yelp very quickly and helped me with my workers compensation case. Tony informed me of my options and explained the process thorough...ly and was very quick to start the paper work for my case. He handled everything within the first day of contacting him. Throughout the entire case Tony was quick to send and submit documents, always called or texted with updates and he genuinely cared. Even when i had questions and texted Tony on a weekend, he would respond promptly rather than waiting for office hours doing the week. Tony was able to get me a really nice settlement and i couldn’t be more grateful, i didn’t imagine we’d settle for that high of an amount. Tony also gave me legal advice for other questions i had not regarding to my case and remembered the little details which was very throughout and made me feel even more taken care of then I’ve been feeling with the amazing service I’ve had. I’m so grateful to have found Tony!

Honest and Caring Attorney

I was very pleased with the results of my case. I was injured at work, and then my employer started harassing me once I reported the injury. I contacted Mr. Yang and he gave me an honest breakdown of my case and what my boss was trying to do. Mr. Yang fought hard for me as my case I had to go to cour...t several times. Overall I am pleased with the results and with the service that I received.

Work comp

They are an awesome firm. My dad was injured at work. He filed a claim, and the insurance company rejected the claim. The insurance company kept bullying him around. They would not pay for his medical bills or for any type of treatment. Then my dad decided to hire Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang got the insurance... company to pay for medical treatments and we eventually settled the case for a large amount. I don't know what we would have done if we didn't have a lawyer helping us out. The insurance company was very difficult to deal with. I really recommend this firm for the way they handled our case. They were very professional and really seemed to have my dad's best interest in mind.

Compassionate Attorney

Very happy with my lawyer. I was injured at work and hurt my back. The insurance company and my boss did not take my injury very serious. The doctor that they sent me too said I was perfectly fine to work. However, I could barely move. My hands and feet were always numb. Then I hired Mr. Yang. The in...surance offered to settle for a very low amount. My attorney fought back and forth with them, and in the end I received a very favorable settlement for my injuries. This office was always prompt at returning my calls and questions. I would recommend them if you are hurt from work.
