I have worked with Bruce on 2 occasions as part of an assessment of a Conservatee of which I was the Conservator. Bruce was appointed by the Court and I found him to be extremely professional, responsive, thorough, and kind, and was very helpful in helping to expedite a very complex case. He came to Court always well prepared and in addition, he is extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. II wouldn't hesitate to utilize his services in the future. I recommend him very highly. Thanks again, Bruce.

What an awesome and pleasant experience! After sending in my question for a free consultation, Bruce emailed me almost immediately asking me to call his office. I was nervous but he was so calm and not intimating and put me at ease. He was not rushed, asked for many details and gave me confidence as to how I should proceed. And to top it off, he didn't ask for a penny! If you are in need of an attorney, I would recommend him as an honest, trustworthy, professional and kind person.

Bruce and Sonya Sultan are both excellent at what they do. I have personally experienced their expertise and referred many people to them. All of the people I have referred to them have been extremely satisfied with their work. They are honest, dedicated, and truly care about you and your case. Best of all, they are both very responsive to any and all of your concerns as they actually return your phone call or email promptly. I love how they work together on their cases which helps with efficiency. I will certainly be using them again in the future should the need ever arise.

When I contacted Sultan law firm for my friend at hospital, Bruce Sultan went visiting my late friend at hospital. He helped her with her will. He didn’t charge her. When she passed away. We encountered some legal procedure, Mr. Sultan offered to give advice without hesitation. We, all of Rebecca Wu friends are grateful for your help.

Bruce & Sonya were very easy to work with. They are both well versed on estate law. I felt very good working with them. I feel good recommending them to anyone that I know needs a trust attorney.

I can't express enough how much I appreciate having found Steve to help me through a very complex and difficult probate. My grandfather passed away without a will or trust and a lot of assets and children that completely dislike each other - it's been messy to say the least. I've worked in the legal profession for over 20 years and was referred to Steve Grant by an attorney I work with, as I personally didn't know anyone who specialized in Probate Law. One thing about probate law is that the court mandates or sets the attorney's fees based off of the value of the estate. The fee is also paid from / out of the estate... so you don't pay by the hour, so if you're reading this - you're probably searching for a good probate lawyer and wondering if you can afford a really good attorney, and in a probate situation, it's really up to you, the individual (aka the administrator of the estate) to find the best possible attorney (for the set fee that the estate will pay anyways). Someone that will give you their time, attention and expertise...someone who cares... Well, I'm thankful to have found Steve and that's why I'm even taking the time to write this... In writing this review, I thought it might be helpful to list out the words that come to mind to describe Steve and what kind of a person/probate attorney he is to have on your side. Steve is: Very patient Articulate Great at making himself available when you need to speak with or email him Intelligent - Probate law is very specialized and he really knows what he's doing and cares! Good Communicator - great at keeping me informed, organized and on the ball with due dates Works well with others - handles even the most difficult people very well (again, patience is a virtue) Handles complex matters very well Always pleasant and professional Logical and practical Always looking out for his client's best interest Excellent with follow through I'm sure there are many more qualities to add to this list, but if you're looking for a great probate lawyer, I believe this will really help break things down for you. It would have helped me a lot!!!

Stephen Grant is one of the good ones. Gives lawyers a good name.

Stephen Grant is an excellent probate attorney. He's very personable and he was always available to answer all my questions. He has the necessary skill and experience to get through probate quickly and efficiently. Stephen was great!!! If you ever need a California probate attorney, I recommend you talk to Stephen first.

Being out of state, I was concerned about hiring someone I had not yet met to handle my deceased family member's estate. Stephen E. Grant has exceeded my expectations and made this difficult process as easy and smooth as possible. He is a true professional; very easy to work with, easy to get in contact with, and has your best interest in mind. He walked me through every step of the process and maintained excellent contact, answering all questions I had. He offered great recommendations as well, especially Flans & Weiner Real Estate Auctioneers, and instilled confidence that everything was being taken care of even in my absence. I highly recommend Stephen Grant, especially to those in out of state situations like myself. He will not disappoint.

A true criminal. Needs to be disbarred for stealing an inheritance by bullyiing, assault, extortion,fraud, perjury and larceny.

These ladies did estate planning and documents for me and several family members. They are thorough, efficient, and very competent. And, they couldn't be nicer. I am an attorney, and know that their fees are quite reasonable. Couldn't be happier.

Two exceptional human beings with deep knowledge in the estate planning area and others as well. They do a thorough job and keep their fees reasonable and affordable. Can’t speak highly enough about them.

Rebecca Goldfarb, Dinh Luu, and their team were wonderful to work with. They were instrumental in walking us through every step of our estate planning and putting together our very important paperwork: trust, wills, powers of attorney, advanced directives, and more. We really appreciated their thoroughness and experience as they help us navigate a very complicated process. Good people. Highly recommended!

Dinh was such an incredible pleasure to work with. I was super anxious about how daunting the whole process of estate planning seemed, but Dinh made it easy and gave me so much education on why I should have done this years ago! Thank you!

Adulting is daunting, but Dinh's thoughtful guidance and deep knowledge of estate planning makes the process a pleasure. I can't recommend Goldfarb and Luu enough.

Attorney Chang is the best that one can work with. He is extremely professional and patient with all of your questions. And he actually responded to my email inquiries on weekends!

Michael is a caring and professional attorney. I am very pleased and glad that he is my trust attorney.

I called looking to get my parents qualified for Medi-cal. I got connected to Michael. Michael said they didn't get involved with that but that he'd refer me to another attorney who does. Michael then took time to explain to me the different ways to qualify for Medi-cal. Which lawyer does this? Most Lawyers will charge for even saying hello. Thanks Michael for taking the time to talk to me and guide me. Its great to see in these tough times of COVID, that there are folks who believe in and practice humanity. God Bless you.

Michael is highly knowledgeable, fastidious, and easy to speak with. During my (free) consultation, Michael was generous with his time. He is very personable, straight to the point, and makes legal jargon easy to understand. I highly recommend Patinelli and Chang if you haven't planned out your assets. I will be recommending this law office to friends and colleagues moving forward.

My wife and I are fortunate enough to have chosen this law firm to set up our living trust. You should all be so lucky. If you ever need the services that they offer, look no further. It was a great experience from start to finish: simple and fast, professional and pleasant, and they exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much, John Chang. You are a credit to your profession and we really appreciate what you have done for us.

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 researched this law office online and based my choice on people’s reviews. Very professional firm, responsive and knowledgeable. A few times, I waited a few days for the lawyer to reach back to me but they always get back to you. I recommend this firm.

The law office of Alice A. Salvo helped us set up our wills and special needs trust. They were very professional and provided us all the help we needed and answered all our questions, prior to drafting final documents. Rates were reasonable compared to some other law firms.

I was extremely pleased with the legal advice that I received. Alice knew exactly what I needed when I described the situation. 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. In addition, her office staff are also very professional, helpful and fast.

I have found the office and support staff to be excellent in providing information, support and follow through. I considered myself to be very fortunate to have found the office when I was in need of assistance. Each encounter is meet with complete information, expectations and, follow through time line. Return calls when needed are very timely. I feel very supported and comfortable that I am kept informed from Alice Salvo and her entire staff.

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 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 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.

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 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.
