I wanted to set up a trust after receiving an inheritance. I chose Marc and his associates after reading all the great reviews, and he and his staff are everything the reviews state and more. I went into the process having been Trustee on my parents Trusts, but not know much about setting up a trust. Marc was very thorough, and helped me set up the trust the way I wanted it, giving me excellent and informative advice that caused me to rethink some of my initial ideas. In addition to helping me set up a trust, Cali Law also helped me obtain a refund from a recalcitrant Board-and-Care after my mother passed away. Not only is Marc an excellent lawyer, he and his staff are exceptionally nice people and easy to work with. I can recommend without reservation Marc and his associates for Estate Planning and issues regarding Elder Care.

i will echo all the previous reviews. Marc, Kathy & their service & physical office are first-class. I think Marc is probably warm & friendly with all his clients which is a good thing. after meeting Marc, i didn't feel i needed to shop for another.

Ever since we had our first child we said we needed to assign guardians, but we never followed through. It was in the back of our minds for a 11 years and 2 more children later. Then we happened to attend a Guardianship Workshop that Marc G. Garlett was offering. After his concise explanation we realized we couldn't wait any longer to take care of such an important matter - who would take care of our children temporarily and permanently if the unexpected happened. After the workshop, we decided to continue with Marc to plan a family trust. It was the best decision we could have made for our family. The peace of mind of knowing our children will be in the hands of those we chose is very important, and knowing our assets will not go into probate is a relief. Marc is professional but also very personable. He took the time to get to know us so he can help make the best family trust. He is upfront about his costs. What he quotes at the first meeting is the actual cost without hidden fees. His staff is friendly, easy to communicate with, puts everything together, and tells you what is needed. We would highly recommend Marc.
Review
We appreciate Marc's attention to detail as he thought of so many things that we did not know about. We had no knowledge of the process, but we knew a trust was important. We trust that Marc has our best intentions in mind and feel good that we can reach out and ask for help as well at any time. He is a family man and it shows in his commitment and dedication toward protecting our family.
Review
Marc is a genuinely good human being. The fact that he's an attorney is a means to an end for helping people, with empathy, and doing the right thing. My wife and I set up our family trust with him for the benefit of our new family. We feel empowered knowing we've taken this important step and having Marc guide us through the process was like having a collaborator on our team ensuring everything was done properly, thoroughly, and with the utmost care. We recommend Marc and call him a friend.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I was so happy and thankful for the good experience I had working with Ajalat & Ajalat Law and I thought it might help someone else who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. Everything about my experience with Greg Ajalat was awesome!! To begin with he told me he wanted to do some research before agreeing to take my case, because it was a complicated one. I could tell he wasn’t just going to take my money no matter what, and really wanted to be sure it made sense to move forward with my claim. At every step Mr. Ajalat kept me informed about what he was doing, how long it would take, and what possibilities we could expect. When there were several options, he talked me through them and didn’t pressure me at all to choose one or the other, just explained them to me and let me choose. There were no unexpected expenses. Even though my case was complicated and it was hard to predict how much the settlement would be, Mr. Ajalat gave me an estimate, and was able to get me an amount at the top of that range! The whole time I felt like I was talking to a real human being, who cared about my situation, thought carefully about things before making decisions, and genuinely wanted me to have a good experience with his firm. Mr. Ajalat was respectful and kind and made what could have been a very stressful situation much better. If you have a case of this type I recommend this firm so highly!

Review
Larry Ajalat is as thorough, thoughtful and professional as they come. Estate planning is a delicate subject, and frankly one that can be emotionally a big step to take. Larry is intuitively a very compassionate person and realizes that his job involves families making very impactful decisions, and with his many years of experience in this field it's comforting to know that he's got everything that should be covered an an estate plan, covered.
Review
Lawrence Ajalat is my grandmothers lawyer and has been accessible and helpful every time we have needed him. I don’t live in Los Angeles so when I contacted him on her behalf recently I was surprised and pleased that he made time to help us with a small change in her will. I only had two days to assist her and although he already had a very full schedule, he made sure we got the work done. It is really wonderful to have such professional, attentive and immediate response to questions, and timely follow through. He went above and beyond. Thank you, Larry Ajalat!
Review
In seeking legal assistance from Mr. Larry Ajalat, I was pleasantly surprised to come across someone who was so thorough and knowledgeable in his services. However, what pleased me most was the care and compassion, patience and understanding he showed my elderly mother. I would gladly recommend Mr. Ajalat any day of the week.

I highly recommend Gerald Kane and his staff. I can't imagine working through an elder care plan and applying for VA benefits without them. They made a complex process painless and easy and cut through the red tape that my father would have faced had he attempted to apply for his VA benefits on his own. Gerry is very knowledgeable and works very efficiently and his staff are so helpful and really cared about my father's situation and welfare.
Review
Oh, these attorneys! If your loved one(s) do not have tons of assets, then don't even bother calling. They just want to charge you an exorbitant amount for a consultation. I don't think so. To top it all off, the receptionist was awful and hung up while I was still on the phone. It's unfortunate and incredibly disrespectful.
Review
Hired Gerald after speaking with other attorneys re: my brothers ability to collect V.A. benefits. From start to finish he and his staff were on top of everything. Would definitely hire them again for another trust. Thanks.
Review
The LAW OFFICES OF GERALD L. KANE, assisted my husband in getting aid and attendance. The staff was great!! The process was painless and fast. We have recommended other veterans who are in need to the LAW OFFICES OF GERALD L. KANE. They helped my 95 year old mother-in-law get spousal assistance, through the VA. They also updated her will. They are honest and work hard on the clients behalf.
Review
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Gerry Kane on revising our wills. We found not only him but his entire staff to be true professionals. They spent a lot of time with us answering our questions, emailing drafts, and making corrections even while we were there. We were pleased to learn of additional services he offered. Things that we had never even considered, like the Legacy videos. He answered all of our questions, and thoroughly explained everything. The finished product was an entire folder full of information that someday our children will need to deal with. Everything is well indexed. I know Gerry also deals with elder care issues, and have already referred a friend to him for a consult. I trust that he knows the law, most importantly. It is without reservation that I highly recommend Gerald Kane & Associates.

I am incredibly happy with the service I received from Amity Law Group. From my first interaction with Jason to my consultation with Cindy, I can not say enough positive things about this law firm. Jason was especially kind with his time (including follow-ups) and patience with me (being an older person) and Cindy answered every question I had and gave me additional information I needed to have. The fees are very reasonable and again, you can not beat the service and professionalism.

They are understanding, and has an excellent way of communicating. They spent a good amount of time explaining very tough subjects to make it easy to understand. They gave us all of our options with advantages and disadvantages of each one. They had helpful tips to fulfill all our requests.
Review
I came to Hornstein awhile back with my siblings cause I heard they helped settle the issue of durable powers of attorney in Woodland Hills area, and we worked out a triangle system between the three of us as to who would take care of who and who would make decisions if one of us couldn’t make their own. Last year my brother got in an accident and I didn’t have to fight anyone on how to take care of him. He’s able to make his own decisions again, but it was worth it to make sure we were each covered.
Review
I got the heads up that getting my estate together before I died would be a good idea after my parents left a pretty disorganized mess for me to sort out. They had a will, but hadn’t set up any provisions for probate and my family ended up with a lot less than my parents intended. So I checked into estate planning attorneys in Los Angeles. Can I just say that I’m really glad I found Steve? Super nice guy, I mean, above and beyond all the time. My estate is shaping up to be a lot easier for my kids to deal with someday, and I couldn’t be more satisfied.
Review
Honestly, I never knew what trust administration was, and when I looked into it I still didn’t really get more than one or two things about it, but I knew I needed it in my estate plan. Wasn’t gonna travel that far for it though, so I kept my search for trust administration in the Woodland Hills sector. Glad I did. My best to Steve Hornstein, he gave his best to me!

Wonderful compassionate staff Thank you so much. To anyone who needs a living trust Lawyer call the Hornstein Law office

My wife and I were looking for help with establishing a living trust, and found Joshwa through a web search.

Joshwa took the time to discuss and explain the details and answered all our questions. Phone and video appointments were available during the height of Covid, and in-person visits later on. He made the process simpler and easier than we expected. And now our living trust is done! Until the next revision.. Check out his web site for helpful FAQs and videos.
