I first worked with Frank in 2000 when he gave my family guidance on how to deal with a very complicated inheritance issue regarding some rental properties in SF. Not only did he save our family enormous estate taxes, but he showed tremendous patience in explaining the various trusts concepts to achieve our goals. Fast forward +20 years later, we needed help in selling some properties to minimize taxes again. We were concerned that that Frank might have retired but thankfully, not only was he still active in practice but to our pleasant surprise, his daughter Erica had joined him. Again they helped us navigate a very complex situation which was made more difficult by the Covid restrictions. Needless to say, he connected us to the right people, saved us a ton of money, and simplified things for us by doing all the heavy lifting. I’m generally am not one to write reviews but I wanted to share my experience with everyone about Yuen Law. There is absolutely no hesitation on my part in recommending Frank and Erica Yuen when it comes to estate planning and trust creation. That have a unique skill set that few attorneys can match. I’m very confident that you will be pleased with them to say the least.

Frank Yuen has been my attorney for 15 years. He first drew up a living trust for me in 2003. He was able to provide a trust document that would would insure my assets will pass on to my spouse/sons without complications. He is a trusted adviser. Over the years I have sought out his advice on a variety of legal matters pertaining to my family's business and financial interests. He has a vast knowledge of taxation laws which he applies to my particular situation. Recently he provided counsel on our family partnership. He advised us on what essentials should be included in the legal documents on the withdrawal of multiple partners and taxation implications of such a withdrawal. Besides estate planning and taxation advice, Frank has shared his expertise on legal matters related to having income properties. He advised me about landlord and tenant relationship and allowable expenses His daughter Erica has joined his law practice. Frank believes that her presence with provide continuity in meeting the needs of long time clients into the future.

We hired Frank in 2014 and he has been helping us with a 'beyond complex' Probate case that continues to this day. After hiring Frank, we read on our own that he was listed as 'Super Lawyer' for his field, and we can attest that he is true to this title. We found Frank to be professional and knowledgeable, and most especially the service he provided was friendly and supportive. He had that rare ability to engage with people of all types (other litigators, law enforcement, real estate agents, the elderly), to handle sensitive situations (with families, for instance), and to deal with court matters efficiently. Our highest recommendation.

Started with Frank in 1999 and he gave us very good advice at that time. We returned to him/Erika (his dtr who is now affiliated with him) Aug 2015 to update Trust/Will because of a change in the inheritance tax. Both highly professional, knowledgeable and we went thru the process of updating, explanation of change in taxation, etc. They also talked to our Financial Planner to get clarification on some of our investments. Our FP changed his brokerage affiliation in the midst of our trust update but we still had the former brokerage's account numbers in the original draft. Fortunately before final issuance of our updated Trust, we had the opportunity to list our new account numbers in the updated Trust and made other changes as well. Very accommodating; didn't get annoyed when we had all these last-minute changes; very responsive to our questions whether via em or phone.

I have no reservations about recommending Frank Yuen's firm. Like many, I had long avoided estate planning because of the challenge of finding trustworthy counsel. But Frank has full earned my trust, providing highly professional, responsive and personalized legal assistance in an area that can go terribly awry without thoughtful preparation. His fees are reasonable. It is seriously reassuring to know he is there to advise my family should I become incapacitated or die. I will strongly recommend him to anyone seeking help in this area.

Frank was very responsive to our estate planning needs. He suggested that we write down any questions that we may have in setting up our Trust and send it to him in advance so that the consultation session can proceed efficienttly. That suggestion helped a lot and made the process that much more simplier. He explained all the legal requirements simple terms and provided us with a written summary of the Trust so that we can understand all our obligations. He is always available for clarifiying questions even after we took delivery of the Trust.

I work in hospice industry so I come across quite a few attorneys working with families on estate planning living will etc Mr yuen was recommended by 2 other other top lawyers in San Francisco He exceeded my expectations He was knowledgeable thorough calm &most helpful I give him 5 of 5 stars rating

Frank was extremely helpful to me during a difficult time (my husband's death required review and re-forming a trust document). He was sensitive and really knowledgeable. For example, I needed a document re. ownership of my home and Mr. Yuen researched and obtained it so that I didn't have to do the legwork. He was also available to talk with other individuals involved in settling my husband's estate. He is highly professional.

asked around some litigation and injury lawyers back in the late 90's about a trust lawyer to preserve wealth during the peak of the .com era, 3 came up with the same name ... Frank Yuen. met with Frank to setup a trust for my family, he came across as very friendly, and above all, he was very KNOWLEDGEABLE !!! he knows what he's talking about. at first, i couldn't understand the drawings with circles and arrows on the board, but after reading up on trust and taxation matters, i understood everything now. was very impressed with his knowledge of my special circumstance, my folks were not residents of this country back then. its going to sound very cliche but "you get what you pay for". you can download a form online to setup a trust, but getting the right trust for your circumstance and to maximize your wealth is well worth the fee that Frank earns.

Frank helped us with individual wills and trusts. While my significant other and I are not married, we have been together for a very long time. Frank helped to explain the detail and considerations around ensuring that our wills and trusts clearly set forth our intent. Frank is a wonderful attorney and we have recommended him to close friends.

Frank Wong Yuen has represented us as our personal and business Attorney for 18 years, and counting. His guidance over the years has been invaluable. He is always responsive to our needs, appropriate with his advise and has proven to be beneficial for our personal and business protection and success. We would and do recommend Frank and his legal firm to everyone. We have entrusted Frank with the development and ongoing execution of our Family Trust, as well as, legal guidance and planning for other aspects of our life’s legal matters. We hold him in high esteem for his professionalism, keen knowledge and compassionate guidance - which has been our consistent experience and developed confidence always with Frank. He is simply excellent.

Frank has helped our family with estate planning, tax, and real estate issues. We have found Frank to be very capable and trustworthy. He takes time to listen to our concerns and to understand our particular situation. Rather than going with the most obvious choice, he often comes up with creative solutions that better fit our needs. At the same time, he consistently upholds high ethical standards. We have recommended Frank to a number of our relatives and friends, and will continue to do so in the future.
