MY STORY

From Early Translation to Lifelong Advocacy

“In retrospect, what I was doing for my parents as a young boy—translating and advocating for them—is similar to a large aspect of a lawyer’s work. I am now looking out for my clients just as I was looking out for my parents all those years ago.”

Bob Yu, Founder & Principal Lawyer, Yu Law Office

A New Beginning in Timmins

Boarding a trans-Pacific flight from Hong Kong as a young boy with no English background, Bob arrived in Timmins, Ontario, seeing snow for the first time. He quickly learned English while attending kindergarten at the old Mattagami Public School.

Learning Responsibility Early

With his mother caring for five boys and his father working 12-hour days, Bob learned responsibility early. He stepped up to translate and advocate for his family at medical appointments, stores, banks, car dealerships, real estate offices, and lawyer consultations.

A Calling of Advocacy

Those early experiences built a foundation of empathy, diligence, and client advocacy. Today, Bob brings that same dedicated level of care and representation to every business, property, and estate client he serves across Northern Ontario.
