My wife and I were looking for help with establishing a living trust, and found Joshwa through a web search. Our experience working with Joshwa is consistent with all the 5-star reviews he has received. Making an appointment was simple through his website. 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.

I was in search for a local Estate Lawyer for my parents and were fortunate enough to find Joshwa through a web search. The experience with working with Joshwa was professional, thorough, and diligent. Joshwa took time to discuss and clarified any questions my family had regarding the living trust. The process was straight forward with Joshwa and would I highly recommend him to anyone seeking Estate services.

The reviews speak for themselves. Joshwa helped us set up our trust and made the process very easy and even enjoyable. He is professional, responsive, and gave us complete confidence on knowledge of the law and process. This was our first time and had a lot of questions and Joshwa was very patient with us and answered all our questions in detail. I highly recommend Joshwa!

Having never set up a living trust before, I thought it would be complicated. But Joshwa Wang made it a very comfortable and easy process. I am very happy with my trust. It is very thorough and detailed. Because of the pandemic, it was accomplished online with drive up signing and notary. I am very satisfied and grateful for the service I received. I highly recommend Joshwa Wang for all your estate needs.

Whenever I have a question or run into a problem that needs legal guidance, Joshwa responds in a timely manner. He answers in a clear, easy to follow manner making sure we understand what is before us. I only wish I could find a Joshwa in my other legal dealings.

She provided extremely detailed information that enabled me to decide on the type of trust to be created. I had no hesitation choosing Alice Salvo to create the trust after the free consultation.

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.

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.

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.

Very knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. We needed service for a living trust for my parents, senior citizens, they had many questions, doubts, and trust issues, but Sandra answered all of there questions and made them feel very comfortable with the process. Outstanding service. Definitely recommend.

Top notch service from the moment you walk into the office and great professionalism from Sandra..Its good to know she represents you and your family

I brought my aunt to Sandra Diaz for clarification and guidance on a Living Trust that my aunt had done years prior. Sandra speaks excellent Spanish, so she was able to explain everything to my aunt in a way that my aunt could understand. She was also incredibly professional, yet down-to-earth and very approachable. We're continuing to use her as legal counsel on any questions/issues that arise with regard estate planning, knowing Sandra will guide our actions to ensure we act in accordance to the law. She's first rate!

A great law office with very knowledgable staff! I would highly recommend using them. I am a very satisfied client :)

Sandra is always very professional,polite,and beyond helpful. She goes out of her way to help in anyway she can. She makes sure the client completly understands the process every step of the way. She listens and answers all you're questions and concerns. She was there every step of the way to help my boyfriend with his fathers estate and with the state of California. We both highly recommend Mrs. Sandra Diaz

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!

Larry Ajalat is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He was extremely patient and answered all my questions. I was very pleased with the service I received. I can't recommend him enough

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.

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!

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 am responding why gave this law firm 1 star. In the waiting area on the other side of office, I overheard the conversation between a client snd staff member. Staff member requesting payment and client responding.Staff member walked client to door and opened it for them. My friend's interview was in the big conference room.that was in front of wait area. I too overheard the conversation between lawyer and my friend. Your lawyer did not want my elderly friend as a client. That is your firm's right. I do not have an issue with that. After the interview was over no one helped my elderly friend who uses a cane to the door or or opened it for them. You law firm needs to treat paying clients and potential clients with the same common courtesy . You need to sound proof your offices and conference room.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience in putting together our Living Trust. We were treated like family, the attorney answered all of our questions and explained each item in detail. I highly recommend Velasco Law Group. We didn't realize how important this process was for our family and business. We now feel at ease that we have our documents in order and know that our family and assets are protected.

Very prompt with good follow through. Answered all my questions with a professional courtesy.

They Know What They're Doing!

The person I spoke with on the phone was kind and considerate. He took the time to explain things to me during a difficult time. Thank you, Velasco Law Group.

    I am responding why gave this law firm 1 star. In the waiting area on the other side of office, I overheard the conversation between a client snd staff member. Staff member requesting payment and client responding.Staff member walked client to door and opened it for them. My friend's interview was in the big conference room.that was in front of wait area. I too overheard the conversation between lawyer and my friend. Your lawyer did not want my elderly friend as a client. That is your firm's right. I do not have an issue with that. After the interview was over no one helped my elderly friend who uses a cane to the door or or opened it for them. You law firm needs to treat paying clients and potential clients with the same common courtesy . You need to sound proof your offices and conference room.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience in putting together our Living Trust. We were treated like family, the attorney answered all of our questions and explained each item in detail. I highly recommend Velasco Law Group. We didn't realize how important this process was for our family and business. We now feel at ease that we have our documents in order and know that our family and assets are protected.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I had a dispute with my older sister over interpretation of the family trust. Our attorney Roee Kaufman advised us to go to mediation. He patiently, kindly and professionally guided us through the whole process. We were able to to get a more fair settlement for me and my younger sister. I couldn't have done it without him.

Lindsey Munyer of Keystone Law Group is, after careful investigation, the person (and law group) I decided to go with to help me understand my new inheritance from my mom's trust. I simply wanted someone backed up by an entire firm who i felt i could trust to have the utmost high integrity along with a caring and loving spirit. I find Lindsey to be highly qualified and professional; and thankfully she is also very nice, straightforward, transparent and easy to work with. I did not hire her to litigate, but rather for informational purposes...to help me understand about trusts and how to proceed with all i was going through. She did this. If for any reason I DO need to litigate, I will turn to her. If there is a need again for her bright mind, I will not hesitate to contact her. I feel sure she will help many others. I hope this review helps others like me to choose her and the excellent firm called Keystone Law Group. Best Regards, Jim Martineau.

Most people think inheriting a house is cause for joy. But it can feel stressful when you live and work on the other side of the country and there’s an adverse party with an equal share of the property that could drag out the process. I felt short on time, energy, money — and estate law expertise. Roee Kaufman took my case with legal fees paid out of the settlement. No more worries about money. He addressed my questions and concerns, communicated next steps, and made me feel part of the process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Keystone Law Group.

Was fooled by the marketing hype of them knowing probate, but after a week of reaching out they responded rejecting my case, it seems they just want basic probate administration cases, they sell you that they know what they are doing but it’s a scam. If you have stupid money go ahead throw it away.

My contact person with Keystone Law Group was Roee Kaufman. He worked on my Living Trust case, for unfortunately several years but eventually it working out for me and I couldn't be more pleased of the outcome. They stood by me, when I needed representation, and walked me through each step of the process so that the outcome would be in my favor. Thanks to this Law Firm, and especially Roee, I'm retaining the home that was promised to me by my late parents, to be carried on to my passing and inherited to the next generation. I highly recommend this law firm for any legal problem you may have.
