Oh my, an attorney that returned his call within minutes!!!! Doesn't get any better than that! Although he does not handle the type of case I inquired about, he delivered the most information than any of the departments or other attorneys I spoke with. He immediately referred me to another attorney who he contacted himself. THANK YOU MATTHEW JOSEPH YAO!!!! We will definitely be contacting you if the need arises in the future!

Mr. Yao is very familiar with the domain knowledge and explains clear to us about the case. He has well defined plan on how to work on the case and very responsive in communication. I have no hesitation to recommend him to any of my friends.

Our family can only speak of Mr. Yao in superlatives. Mr. Yao demonstrated the utmost professionalism, integrity, and compassion representing my eighteen-year-old son with Asperger's in a very difficult guardianship case brought against him by his father. Mr. Yao is personable, enthusiastic, and encouraging, and worked extremely well with my son, taking the time to carefully explain the intricate legal proceedings. He listened intently to our concerns, and allayed our fears and anxiety. We always felt we were in good hands with Mr. Yao; he worried so we didn't have to. Mr. Yao helped my son gain his independence, and my son is now free to make a wonderful new life for himself. Our family would most definitely seek out Mr. Yao again if needed, and highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Yao is an extremely great attorney to work with. He has been helping us with a case for about a year now and he has always been prompt, follows up with us and makes us feel like we're in good hands. He's gone above and beyond our expectations and he has proven to be very reliable. We truly appreciate everything he has done for us.

Matthew Yao was excellent. A six out of five. His demeanor with my son, (seventeen with Asperger's) was wonderful. He won him over in the first ten minutes. HE explained everything to my son and to us in language we understood, and always answered my emails, texts, and phone calls in a timely manner. We are so grateful for all his help and his compassion.

Mr. Yao was our lawyer for a legal guardianship case and took good notes during the visits and was relatively responsive through both email and phone. He also provided additional insight to our case which had some immigration implications, and ensured all the details were satisfied in order to present the case. He offered his candid opinion and made sure facts were straight so as not to sacrifice his own integrity for the sake of a client's success. We would certainly hire him again for any future immigration related cases. Contrary to a previous reviewer's opinion, my family and I felt that Mr. Yao did in fact show concern and care for our case, as well as for our family's well being.

Mr. Yao is a amazing person first and a marvelous lawyer not only to me but every member of my family, when I wanted contact with my family he was the the man that said this girl deserves it and he made the call I had not contacted my family in eight years and M. Yao made it happen even now not as my lawyer we still have a positive relationship. He has also given me a chance to explore my dream career law with his help. Mr. Yao is more than a lawyer he is family saver to me and a blessing to anyone else he helped or helps
