I had an unresolved issue with a developer after taking possession of my unit for many months without any end in sight. Amos was able to quickly understand the issue, and advise me on the resolution options. After discussing the options, we agreed and flexibly updated the path forward, to get to a successful outcome agreed with all parties. It was Amos’ understanding of the issue and options that gave me the confidence to go with Yuen Law. I am now in the process of engaging them for other work such as my will and LPA, based on their good performance.
