A good experience

Sharon Yoon prepared my mother’s will, trust and powers of attorney. We found her to be an excellent attorney, thorough, knowledgeable, and very friendly. She showed great patience working with us, answering our questions and making us feel comfortable in our dealings with her. Sharon always respon...ded promptly to our calls and emails and completed the documents on time. Both my mother and I feel confident recommending her to others.

Thank you, Sharon!

Sharon Yoon is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I appreciate her listening skills, her timely delivery of documents, and, at my age (71), her digital expertise that helps me and my family to upload my documents to our family "cloud". In addition, her fees are reasonable, thank you, Sharon! I...f you're looking for a good lawyer who will help you navigate trusts, wills, advance health care directives and other estate issues with a sharp and compassionate eye, I highly recommend Sharon Yoon.

Amazing lawyer

My husband and I needed help and guidance to create a family trust, the process can be intimidating and overwhelming with all the juridic terms and possibilities. Sharon made it so smooth, explained everything very clearly and efficiently, she's so knowledgeable, answered all our questions or worries.... She's somebody so nice to work with! Thanks to Sharon the experience of creating a trust became fun, interesting and very easy! We highly recommend her.

Great Help with Estate Planning Needs

My family had the pleasure of working with Atty. Yoon for our estate planning needs. We are so happy we did. She was caring, patient, and flexible. We explained our complex estate planning situation and she assisted in laying out a comprehensive plan; in addition to, answer any "what ifs?" Or ...unknowns that may come up in the future. Atty. Yoon assisted with the foot work of filing all appropriate documents with the county. She emailed us a draft of all of the prepared documents for our review before our set appointment and they were on point with what we had discussed. During our final meeting, she thoroughly explained each of the documents and answered all of the questions we had before the signing. She also acted as notary which was a real timesaver. She professionally prepared, filed, and presented the completed documents to us in a nice binder with tabbed sections which made it easier to locate items, if needed. We enjoyed working with Atty. Yoon because she took the time to breakdown the legal "mumbo jumbo" into layman terms and did not make you feel you were rushed out of her office. We would confidently recommend Atty. S. Sharon Yoon for anyone who needs assistance with their estate planning needs.

Estate planning - Highly Recommend

We recently hired Sharon to set up our estate planning (Trust, Will, etc.). Sharon was outstanding. When we initially met with Sharon, she took copious notes and paid attention to all of the details. Throughout our experience, it was apparent that Sharon is very knowledgeable and an expert with re...gards to estate planning. Sharon is also very organized, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Sharon took the time to explain things in a way we understood and answered all of our questions. Sharon delivered exactly what she promised, on time and on budget (no surprises). I highly recommend working with Sharon for estate planning.
