Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions about Yun Li-Reilly
How much does it cost to hire Yun for a estate litigation case?

Can Yun take my case if I'm outside the area?
Yun evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Yun's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.
What should I bring to my first meeting with Yun?
Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Yun will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
