Michelle is great.

Michelle was extremely helpful in explaining and summarizing the details of the trust documents. Her expertise and ability to put things in everyday language was highly appreciated.

Michelle helped our family with our parents’ trust. Patient, meticulous and knowledgeable, she treats clients with the utmost respect and care. Aside from her legal expertise, she offered us advice to make better decisions on the trust from a tax perspective which will afford us financial advantages and help avoid costly errors. We gained piece of mind after working with Michelle and appreciate her ability to distill mountains of legal jargon into understandable terms. As a physician, I was also appreciative how Michelle was able to assist with the medical aspects of the trust and quickly recognized each family member’s perspective and needs. If you need someone in your corner protecting your and your family’s best interests, no need to look further. Michelle offers all her clients her signature hard work and integrity.

Michelle is a thoughtful, professional and focused attorney. In addition, she is compassionate when dealing with elderly people. We valued her advice and approach very much when she assisted us and my father in updating will and trust documents.

We loved working with Michelle. She was very thorough and detail oriented. She explained everything to us and was very helpful.

I retained Michele to complete sale of my ex home in Ontario, Canada. It was hard to find an attorney familiar with Canadian real estate law and I was glad to find Michele who took the case. All the required paperwork has been expertly reviewed, discussed and processed to my full satisfaction. She successfully worked with the Canadian counsel representing the buyer. Her fee was fairly representative of the Bay area and yet I didn't feel pressed to watch the clock-- everything was done in professional and timely and yet very accommodating, comfortable way. Highly recommended.

Michelle was referred to my wife and I by good friends of ours who used her services for their own family. We contacted Michelle after the birth of our first child. At the first consultation, Michelle was great at ascertaining what our goals were and provided great insight on what our options were and if brought up other issues we hadn't considered. She never rushed us and was always available for questions and concerns we hadn't considered at the first consultation. Since we had a newborn to deal with, Michelle was also very flexible on our time demands. All in all, dealing with attorneys is usually not a pleasant experience but Michelle's professionalism and knowledge were incredibly useful and my wife and I are very grateful for her expertise.

Michelle Yu drafted for my elderly parents a package of documents related to wills, living trust and advanced health care directives. Not only did Ms. Yu provide valuable legal information and professional advice and help, she also tailored her work and schedule to fit my parents' particular needs. Her Mandarin speaking ability proved to be an asset as my parents communicated with her at ease, and connected with her soon after the introduction. Ms. Yu kept my parents informed at every step of the process, and answered their many questions with professionalism, respect, patience and care. I highly recommend Michelle Yu for such legal representation.

Michelle is a conscientious, knowledgeable and client-driven attorney with a human touch. She has assisted me on numerous occasions in my business and real estate dealings and provided me with invaluable legal and personal advice which has helped me to make smart decisions and avoid costly mistakes. As an attorney, Michelle quickly adopts her client’s perspective and tackles legal issues as if they were her own. She is a great person to have fighting in your corner.
