Review
Me. Marcus was such a pleasure to work with. Everything went so smooth. He explains everything very clear and is extremely patient. Nothing felt rushed either. We knew exactly what we were signing. My husband and I liked him so much that we referred my parents, and they as well had the same excellent experience. We loved the professionalism. You will not regret it.

I am a retired CPA looking to set up a living trust to bypass probate which would be very costly and time consuming. I wanted an attorney who specialize in trust and estate planning. So I talked to several attorneys before selecting Trent. He came across as a very personable, honest, straight forward and knowledgeable attorney. He worked very professionally, expeditiously and gave valuable advice. He quoted me a fee which is very reasonable, consider his package includes funding of my properties (transferring titles into the trust) which many trust attorneys don’t do or charge extra. I am very happy with his service and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Review
Trent is a great family law attorney. He was very patient with us and explained all the details of our family trust and its benefits. He was thoughtful, fair and his fees are reasonable. I would recommend him to any party needing a family law attorney.
Review
We were referred to the Law Office of Trent Marcus by our Financial Planner. We met with Trent to discuss the creation of a Family Trust. We found Trent to be extremely knowledgeable on the subject and very professional in his approach to guide us. He spent the time to outline our options and explain in detail the pros and cons of various options. Trent was exceptionally helpful through the entire process. We would highly recommend Trent to anyone seeking a professional attorney to guide them with a Trust.

Review

Mr Brooks was extremely professional, efficient and personable. His fees were very competitive and his prompt reply to any question very much appreciated. He made the process of legal necessities smooth and seamless. I would not hesitate to call on him again for future legal matters. I highly recommend and value his expertise.
Review
First thing's first, Zev answered the phone, live and in person. I had a probate question and instead of scheduling an appointment, which is what I thought was going to happen, he started asking me questions and then started explaining in detail what the law is and what my rights are. He was professional, offered to give me a referral if litigation becomes a possibility, and handled my multiple interruptions with grace. Turns out, my case will probably not need to be litigated, nor will I need a lawyer - great to hear from an actual lawyer! I don't think many people expect such forthright advice and treatment. I would recommend Zev to anyone in my circle of family and friends. I greatly appreciate his candor, genuine concern, and professionalism.

I have taken my Mother to these half day seminars for the last 6 years, but this year, I went in too. Let me not understate, Wow, what an experience. I was pleasantly surprised by a packed valuable and informative seminar that this turned out to be. There are so many angles to revocable trusts and Copenbarger & Copenbarger has them covered. I had no idea how complex they can be, and how simple they made them appear. There was no doubt that the entire family and associates are very competent professionals. Not to mention they are down to earth nice folks. A sincere thank you to Copenbarger & Copenbarger. I will be back and I will tell my friends about your firm. A real eye opener for me.

I have to say, Ernest Kim is the best lawyer I have ever had interacted with and cannot praise him any more than is possible. He took the time to meet with me on short notice and gave my situation careful attention and a thorough evaluation. Unfortunately, my inheritance is complicated. My siblings and our in-laws do not get along at all. However, Mr. Kim was able to provide very effective advice and counseling that prepared us for any eventuality. His complex estate plans and advice are extremely valuable. I truly believe that in today's complex world, it is essential that every one have an estate plan and asset allocation. Mr. Kim is the best lawyer in this field that I have come across and I have met with many. The experiences with different attorneys vary tremendously and when you find an attorney who really seems to care and has that special attention to detail, you must retain him. I am so happy that I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Ernest Kim. I was also pleasantly surprised that he is a certified specialist in his field. I believe that my family is in extremely good hands now that I have retained him. I advised everyone that I know to seek him out. You definitely will not be disappointed!

I was raised in a family of doctors, and as a doctor myself, I knew that doctors are notorious for poor financial planning and management. After getting married and having children, I naturally became concerned about my assets and wanted to make sure that things were tucked away properly if God forbid, anything should happen to me or my husband. I was referred to Ernest Kim. My husband and I sat down and planned out our estate. This was almost 10 years ago now. It brings me peace of mind to know that such an honest, experienced and conscientious attorney drew up our documents. As with anything of this nature, I think most people tend to shy away from dealing with the thought of death and dying. But in actuality, Ernest made the process so simple and streamlined. It really was a good experience. His staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Of course, we won’t know the true value of these documents unless they are put to the test, but I have faith in Ernest and I know that we will be so glad we hired him.
Review
I love these guys! We recently did a family trust and they helped us through every step of the process, educated us on the importance of every little detail in a very easy to understand kind of way. They are kind and truly care about your family planning. Sarah is a doll, she is as smart as she is sweet:)
Review
Mr. Ernest Kim's experience and insight in estate and business planning truly makes his firm stand out from the rest. Most importantly, he is honest and upfront about the entire process, explaining everything and answering every question with easy-to-understand plain language instead of hiding behind "legalese". If you are looking for professionalism mixed in with a personal, caring touch, I cannot recommend Mr. Kim enough!

Kevin is extremely knowledgeable in this area of law and his attention to detail is much appreciated when it comes to such an important task such as trust administration.

On top of all this, my wife and I actually enjoyed our conversations with Kevin as he has the ability to keep the meetings lighthearted, even though the topic could be so dispiriting. Highly recommend Snyder Law!
Review
Due to the recent changes in the law as a result of the passage of California's Proposition 19, we found ourselves in need of expert counsel and found that in Snyder Law. While we were totally unprepared for the consequences of these new laws, Kevin was extremely knowledgeable in this area and provided us the necessary advice to move forward with the creation of two new property trusts. Even though there was a fast-approaching deadline, Kevin, Carolyn and Hannah worked seamlessly together to meet that date. It is so comforting to know that our future plans for our children have been so well taken care of by Snyder Law. While the understanding and administration of these complicated issues was very important to us, it was also such a pleasure to work with a group of people who obviously care about their clients and bring a personable touch to the process. We highly recommend Snyder Law and look forward to a continued relationship with them.

After too many years of putting off establishing a Living Trust and Will, my husband and I finally accomplished this with the assistance of Max Alavi, Attorney at Law, APC and his remarkable team! Everyone on the team that we encountered and spoke to -- from intake, questions in-between, notary signing, to finalization of the documents, were all extremely knowledgeable and proficient. They each made the process quick and easy! If you are seeking high quality, professional legal insight, and services, we would highly recommend Mr. Alavi and his team.
Review
My husband and I were looking to create a revocable Living Trust, and did a lot of research before choosing to call the office of Max Alavi. We began with a brief meeting, at which Max Alavi answered all of our questions. Leanne, his assistant, was friendly and very responsive whenever we called. The process was efficient and straightforward, and the fees were the most reasonable of the many places we researched. We have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Review
Max and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful. They helped us update an old trust we had created. Amanda was absolutely wonderful. She was there to answer many questions I had and helped us through the process of signing all the new documents. Their offices are very clean and followed all COVID safety guidelines. All in all a very easy experience to complete / change something you often don’t think about, but should do. Thank you Max and Amanda!

Talking about what happens to your assets after youre gone might not be the most enjoyable project for the week! We selected Meier Law Firm to create our family trust and it was the best experience one can have. Laura Meier is knowledgeable, friendly and makes the topic an easy one to get through. Josh Meier is now our counsel for tax and other issues. The rest of the team in the office, especially Bonnie and Jonathan; again made sure we were always at the right place at the right time. We have our trust done, in a few short weeks, and I would HIGHLY recommend the Meier Law Firm for any legal needs. We always call Laura and Josh first!!!! If anyone has questions, please write me.

Review
After my wife and I had our first child, we worried a lot about what would happen to our son if something tragic happened to both of us. We attended a terrific family estate planning workshop by the Meier Law Firm to learn more about how to protect our assets and assign a guardian to our son. Laura and Bonnie were extremely insightful about the laws that govern children of deceased parents and how they would be treated by the legal system. Needless to say, it wasn't easy to hear how our son would be taken care of and how our assets would be distributed without a concrete estate plan. Laura has a terrific book titled, "Good Parents Worry, Great Parents Plan." which also lays out the scary landscape of wills and trusts. With Laura and Bonnie's guidance, we established a trust that we can confidently say will protect our child. They handled our questions with care and compassion. Although the subject matter was uneasy to think about, Laura and Bonnie made sure we were informed to handle the tough questions within our parenting toolbox. Plus, it made us seriously consider who would be the best guardians for our child. It was an excellent exercise on not only who would best care for our child but also who would raise them with our values and principles (yup, it made for some interesting discussions about family members). If you are looking to establish a long term plan to protect your family and your legacy, look no further than the good people at The Meier Law Firm.
Review
Finding myself in a highly emotional family trust issue, Josh helped me in a very calm and compassionate manner. My life was turned upside down and I put full trust in his advice and legal knowledge. He didn’t disappoint. He made a very difficult time a little less traumatic for me. 7 years later, he still makes himself available for any questions or problems that arise. I have created my own trust using his expertise. I have peace of mind knowing that my children are protected in case of the unthinkable, and I can’t thank him enough. Also, Bonnie and the rest of his office staff are a joy to talk to as well.

Working with The team at Meier Law Firm has been amazing every step of the way!
