This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Estate Planning

My wife and I had a very pleasurable experience with Steven Wee, and his associate Christy Risley, while working with the Legacy Law Group. Steven assisted us with our Estate Planning, and covered all the bases to ensure our properties and assets were protected and distributed to our children within... our desires upon our deaths. We recommend anyone searching for the proper ways to deal with the legalities of the WA State system to contact, and contract Steven's Services through the Legacy Lay Group.

Saved me so much time and money!

Wow! What a team! Steven and Christy helped me with an unusual and emotionally wrenching situation after the death of my brother. This involved a potential messy intestate probate, a trust, and property, where I wanted a paid consult to get my bearings. In extremely short order, they were able t...o make the situation clear and simple, found an elegant solution to my most pressing problem, and I was able to proceed forward toward a quick resolution. I appreciated their flexibility in working with me in the way that I needed. Extremely knowledgeable, and kind. Highly recommend!

Professional Estate Planning Lawyer

I am a widow and needed to change my power of attorney. With Steve’s expert guidance it was an easy transaction and I left his office feeling very satisfied! I recommend him highly. Nice office, great parking, easy to get to. His fee was very reasonable.

Informative, well prepared, excellent follow up

Legacy Law was very helpful and responsive to all of my concerns during my needed law process. When we discovered issues, it was addressed quickly in an understandable and enlightening manner. It has been a very pleasant experience dealing with issues like wills and estate planning. My family wi...ll thank him later.

Avoid this lawyer

Steven Wee and his assistant Christy have both been very slow to produce anything aside from a very large bill. Their customer service has been very poor throughout our contract and they do not keep you updated on status reports. Before hiring Legacy law group I checked their yelp reviews and was und...er the impression that I was hiring the best lawyer In town for my case. This lesson cost me $2,880.00 and a lot of wasted time. Ive now had to cut my losses and move on with a different attorney.

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.
