We would like to thank Fung Peen, Kaysha and your team from the bottom of our heart for taking up our adoption case on a professional and yet very friendly level, which makes us feel very comfortable. I liked that you and your team, especially Kaysha, kept us constantly updated on the details on the processes of the adoption and what to do next, and also answered all our queries without delay. I would highly recommend Fung Peen and his awesome team for those going through the same adoption process as us.

I engaged Yuen Law to help my parents with the conveyancing of their property sale. Fung Peen and his team were not only highly competent in handling the transaction, they were also very patient in explaining the whole process, and guiding me and my parents through the whole process step-by-step. I would highly recommend them, because of their professionalism, integrity, and human touch.

Talk about the law and lawyers, and you’d probably have “expensive”, “cold and hard” in your mind. But at Yuen Law, all you’d find is compassion, empathy, kindness and grace. As a financial advisor, I often find myself needing legal advice to be able to do my job well. It is always comforting and enlightening to seek advice from Fung Peen, one of the most down-to-earth and humble lawyers I’ve met. It’s easy to trust him because his genuine care for the interest of his clients is almost instantly felt by the questions he asks and the advice he gives. Without a doubt, Yuen Law is a partner of choice for me!

Mr Lim Fung Peen, Kaysha and team have been a great help and even a source of comfort during the most difficult time. When I was on the lookout for legal services to settle the marital case, what drew me to them were the reviews stating that the team was empathetic and efficient — and they were! They listened to me with both compassion, empathy and professionalism, and I greatly appreciated that. The fees were reasonable. They were also professional, efficient and clear in their explanations as well. Updates were timely as well. While I wish no marital troubles on anyone, if you ever need a lawyer, Mr Lim and team are a great choice.
