Very helpful. Highly recommended. Thank You Nancy for your help.

Nancy is absolutely amazing. It was such a difficult time taking care of things after our relative passed away. We came from out of state and did not know how to proceed or where to begin. Nancy and her team went above and beyond throughout the entire probate process. Her recommendations, guidance, professionalism, and quick response time helped immensely. We were able to meet with her right away and take care of the majority of items via email and a few phone calls. Working with Nancy and her team allowed us to grieve without adding stress of the legalities to an already difficult time.

Many thanks to Nancy Rose Law!

He is a professional, hardworking, caring lawyer who got the job done timely manner. I recommend Matthew W. Harris because he took the time when other lawyers wouldn’t. I cannot thank him enough!
Review
My original Trust was done in 2004, and I assumed that would be good for many years, like most people. Then, I was told Trusts and Estate Plans should be reviewed every 5 years or so, as lives and situations are constantly in flux. So, after 12 years and life and financial changes I found Matthew Harris, ESQ, explained the numerous reason for a planning review. He is super low pressure, nice guy who genuinely wants to help. Matthew "cleaned up" my outdated Trust, prepared a new one. Now, I can go about my life with a piece of mind. Definitely, contact him if your Trust is more than 5 years old or if you need one prepared. Matthew will help you protect your assets and distributions to loved ones with a minimal amount to taxes and unnecessary expenses.
Review

Review
As a father with two young children, I knew that I needed an estate plan in case something bad ever happened to me. My close-friend recommended Matthew W. Harris, an estate planning lawyer in San Rafael. I was hesitant to meet with a lawyer because I thought the whole estate planning process would be too complicated and too darn expensive. Boy was I wrong! Mr. Harris was kind, gentle and was able to convey complex legal jargon to me with ease and clarity. Mr. Harris created my estate plan that addressed all of my wishes and concerns. God forbid if anything should happen to me, I can rest more comfortably knowing that my children will be taken care of. I highly recommend the Law Office of Matthew W. Harris to my friends, family and co-workers. Eric A.

He stives for excellence in the specialties of Trust and Tax law. Without hesitation, we recommend his law firm.
Review
After doing extensive research on the Internet to find the best estate planning and family living trust attorney in the Sacramento area, my spouse and I narrowed it down to two firms. We had a free phone consultation with one of the firms and were impressed with what we found out. The other firm, the Goralka Law Firm, offered a free seminar which my spouse and I attended. In the seminar, which lasted about two hours, John Goralka presented a very convincing case for using his firm by going through the many mistakes that people can make when establishing an estate plan. This two-hour presentation gave ample time to interact with John and see how he thoroughly addresses these potential mistakes with his very comprehensive trusts. The seminar gave us much more confidence in using the Goralka Law Firm than the phone consultation we had with the attorney at the other firm, so we chose John to do our trust. We were not disappointed. The whole process from filling out the detailed questionnaire, to interacting with the friendly and competent staff, to our original meeting with John to review our specific parameters for constructing the trust, to the final meeting with John and the signing of the trust and all the related documents went very smoothly. We are extremely happy with our trust, and feel confident that we made the right choice in selecting the Goralka Law Firm. The trust was more expensive than the average living trust, but we are happy we spent the extra money to get the best product available. Saving money on your living trust can cost much more than the money saved if your trust is not constructed in the comprehensive manner John’s trust is. We have the most basic trust you can get from John, and our trust document itself is 64 pages. When combined with all the supporting documents of the trust, there are approximately 300 pages. We highly recommend John Goralka and the entire staff of the Goralka Law Firm.
Review
After traveling across the country, during covid 19, John and his staff bent over backwards to insure that we would spend no more time in California than absolutely necessary. We traveled to probate an estate and also a trust. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon, were able to meet with John on Wednesday and signed our last papers on Friday afternoon, allowing us to leave Sacramento on Saturday morning. John's paralegal, Haley Hanam was a God send, taking numerous calls from us and ALWAYS being able to answer our questions and expedite our legal papers. We would definitely recommend Goralka Law Firm to anyone needing legal assistance in the Sacramento area. Many thanks, John, Russ and Donnie Royals
Review
I have been working with John for 30+ years. During that time he has provided several services to me and my family that include sales of business, merger, several business acquisitions, probate, estate planning, will, living trust, and a great source for questions regarding tax law. John has been very responsive to my needs making me feel like he worked directly for me and my own private attorney. I would highly recommend John and his team and will continue to use them for years to come.
Review
They provided me with a simple Trust package. Included Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Durable Power of Attorney for Finances and a Will. A Homestead also. Included filing all of the paperwork needed to transfer ownership of everything to the Trust. A great bunch of people to work with. Very helpful and professional. All the staff help to reduce the anxiety around planning for wrapping up your affairs at the end of life. There is lots to learn and they are here to help. Would absolutely recommend them.

I always thought by having a Living Trust it would be so easy. I found out differently. My parents left their house in a living Trust and upon their death it would be left to my brother and myself. Upon the death of my brother I became the sole trustee but my brothers daughter brought a Will into it and tried to cut her brother out of his part or their dads estate. She didn’t want to share. Being the sole trustee of the trust I knew I had to find an attorney because this wasn’t going to be easy. Jonathan told me It was my responsibility legally to make sure my brothers estate was handled correctly. Needless to say I am so thankful to have been recommended to Jonathan Huber! I couldn’t have done it without you. He is just the greatest and so caring I can’t say enough good things about him. If you want someone you can really trust Jonathan Huber is the attorney you want. Thanks again Jonathan Huber!

I would highly recommend HuberFox Law grp, we were very lucky to have Ben Fox representing us he is definitely a go getter and very knowledgeable about the law and I might add loves his job from what I have observed from his dedication. He has been trying to fix what a horrible fiduciary has done to our family probate since 2018 and finally 2021 it has all been mediated and settled in which case, if we had not hired this law group the fiduciary would have taken everything (even though she was way overpaid) ! We also worked with Austin Adams which is another great lawyer that kept track of everything and was very good with all communication throughout this long process. Great guys to work with, very professional. I would like to Thank you both for standing up for what is right !
Review
Everyone I dealt with was kind, professional, knowledgeable and did not hurry me, even though I knew this office is busy. Mr Halstrom took the time to make sure I understood all of the legalities of my requested actions. BecauseI I am weathering a stressful period, the kindness was especially appreciated!

Benjamin Fox instilled full confidence from the very beginning. He was always prepared for each conversation and his communications on my behalf were very effective. I would absolutely recommend this attorney for any estate related issues.

Ben Fox helped me so much. I have never had an attorney but, he was the best. He always responded to my emails right away and kept me updated with everything. I believe,I would not have received anything from my aunt's will nor do I believe anyone else named in the will would have received anything without Ben's hard work. A thank you is not enough!! Ben Fox is truly a wonderful wonderful attorney! Christine Clarke

Tyler has been an excellent business attorney for us. We recently bought a business. He helped us set up our entity, craft and review contracts, establish an employee handbook, file a trademark application, and more, and he did it all with up-front flat fee pricing! I don't know any other lawyers that are capable of doing 99% of their work with up-front pricing. This gave us so much peace of mind. We knew how much we would be spending, and we could ask as many questions as we wanted, work back and forth with Tyler on contracts, etc. without ever fearing a surprise bill. And Tyler was always responsive, helpful, and thorough. It has just been a fantastic experience working with him. We highly recommend him.
