TESTIMONIAL FROM JERALDINE

Working at YHC Lawyers has given me the opportunity to have hands-on legal experience. For example, I have been afforded the opportunity to have client interactions and draft legal documents. Shen and Loan also truly take an interest in the career development of their team so the mentoring I have received from them has also been invaluable. I could not have asked for a better experience.
