His staff was wonderful as well, and you can see that he nurtures a great environment. We recommend the Swerdloff Law Firm with enthusiasm!

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.

Thanks again, Bruce.
Review
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.

Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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.

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.
Review
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!
Review
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!
Review
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.

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

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!
