Best estate plan and attorney in Honolulu!
I am very impressed with the speed and competence of Stephen B. Yim. The whole staff was very friendly and professional. I cannot express how amazed I am by the amount of paperwork they complete. I was fortunate to work directly with Monica Yempuku and was impressed with the caliber and the quality of the work. Overall the whole experience was tremendously helpful and I would recommend their services to anyone who needs them.

Stephen has been providing legal counselling to my clients estate planning needs for over 19 years. Besides being very professional, I really like how he puts my clients at ease by making things simple and easy to understand. He is also my personal attorney and I enjoy the peace of mind knowing that my estate plan is in order. His staff is warm and friendly. Stephen's office is well recognized and respected in the community and anyone would be well served if they engaged his services.

Stephen Yim is the best estate planning attorney lawyer in Honolulu, Hawaii on Oahu. He helped us create a will, trust, power of attorney, advanced healthcare directive and so much more. We wanted to protect our assets to avoid probate and minimize taxes and he listened to our intentions and helped us achieve just that. We have many stocks, 401k, IRA, property, and a LLC and he helped us to make sure all those were connected with our trust properly so they are protected! Stephen also helped us with our special needs child and helped us create a Supplemental Needs Trust. He’s thoughtful, caring
