It is not worth the risk, just to save a few dollars. For a very reasonable rate, Joy created a will tailored specifically to my needs. She did this by asking probing questions that only a skilled and experienced estate lawyer can do.
I find her to be trustworthy and to be someone who really cares about her clients. She is fluent in English and Mandarin, and as a Mandarin speaker, I find this to be very helpful.
Highly recommended.”
