It has been such a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with and get the best legal advice from Jeff and The Crandall Law Group team. I've been working with them for 5 years. I've trusted them the with 2 wills and trusts. I've also had them refer me to another Attorney for Guardianship and Conservatorship responsibilities for my mother in law. They are extremely knowledgeable in their field. They have become family. I consider them to the best choice for legal advice. I would recommend them 100%.

Jeff, Ryan and the friendly team at Crandall Law Group are great to work with. Not only did they make the process of setting up a will and trust easy, they also did an excellent job educating me about the product. I also feel like they are extremely easy to communicate with if I ever have on-going questions. I always recommend Crandall Law Group!

Crandall Law makes me rethink telling lawyer jokes. They really are fantastic, pleasant, knowledgeable, and personable. They care about doing what’s right. I admire that. Fully recommend them for your legal needs.

Jeff has been taking care of our family and business needs for 10 years, and I would highly recommend him for your family trust needs. He makes the process easy, yet thorough.

wonderfully helpful, super nice and patient

My whole family has used Hanley Law Firm for two generations. My Grandmother went to Dan Hanley for her Trust and will, and he was so great with everything he did, and made sure to cover his bases in every aspect that she kept going in every time she needed something changed or had questions and sent all her friends to him, he was great and Sean and Michelle were amazing. Fast forward to Sean Hanley taking over full time, I have to say, his dad would be proud. Not many Lawyer's get back via email at all times, but Sean was quick to reply and get everything (no matter how tedious) Done in record time. I’d contacted another attorney to complete my trust and will never was able to complete the docs. Michelle took my info and Sean was in contact within the hour, I sent everything over and he had proofs the next day! I’m so impressed with the level of care and expertise Sean and his firm have, I’ve been sending all my clients to his firm for all their estate planning needs. I’m so relieved to have everything done the way I wanted it and so happy to know the Hanley Law Firm will continue to take care of anyone I send their way. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of estate planning and real estate law advice.

Great, thorough, and professional service from Sean and his entire team. He is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and guided me through some challenging estate planning. I would gladly recommend him to anyone that needs some great, sound legal advice.

PLEASE NOTE: Any poor reviews on here are from 6-8 years ago for Dan Hanley, not his son, Sean, who has been running the office for 5 + years. SEAN HANLEY is a very knowledgeable estate planning attorney who provided invaluable service for me. I had many questions and Sean patiently took the time to discuss everything in detail, leaving me KNOWING - not just feeling - that my estate has been properly handled. Sean made the process easy and straightforward. I highly suggest the services of Sean Hanley of Hanley Law to anyone looking for an exceptional estate planning attorney.

I was looking for a seasoned attorney who could handle meddlers! Dan Hanley more than fit the description. Sure, attorneys cost money, but so would losing an estate from your family! I have used Dan for Our Estate, my Mom's Estate, my Son's Estate and have recommended Dan to everyone I know. Thanks Dan for being there for my family!

I came to Law Offices of Robert P Bergman because my wife and I needed an estate plan. Literally had zero, not even some notes scrawled on a post-it. I decided Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was the right firm for me because we heard Bob speak on estate planning at a seminar after a friend recommended him. My favorite thing about working with Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was that Bob was personable, clearly knowledgeable about both the law and its real world applications, extremely competent, and had created an efficient process to identify and create the right estate planning components. The outcome after all of the work put in by the firm was we opted for a living trust, with provisions for life insurance, child care in case of our own demise, an estate distribution that avoiding probate, tax benefits, and other important components. But the key feature was the feeling of security, the elimination of uncertainty and anxiety over the future. Nobody wants to think about their expiration, and we had avoided that, and the needed planning, for many years. Once done, we got a lot of serenity. As a result, aside from the practical benefits, it gave us security - no more amorphous worry about "what will happen to my spouse, or children, or business?" - were i to be devoured by a great white shark while surfing, for instance. A greater confidence in handling financial matters such as savings, retirement, and value investing. Finally, when so much of the concern about the future dissolved, a newfound freedom to live in the moment, which helped my business and relationships. Those were unexpected, but welcome consequences.

The reason I retained Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was we needed a will and trust as new parents of three young children. I decided Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was the right firm for me because he was a referral from the parents of multiples club and other families had highly recommended him. I enjoyed working with Law Offices of Robert P Bergman because he was thoughtful and understood our needs having young children of his own. The outcome of this case was that we completed a will and trust we were happy with and felt secure. Now that we've received this outcome, we know we have security in making sure our children are taken care of.

I contacted Law Offices of Robert P Bergman after getting divorced and I needed to create a new will and trust for my 2 sons. I picked this firm over all the other firms in the area because Bob was so responsive and understood my personal situation. My favorite thing about working with Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was Bob's expertise, reasonable prices, and constructive advice. As a result of their hard work, I got a great trust set up for my kids and I learned how to manage the trust. Now I am at ease and comfortable knowing that my kids are secure and that they can contact Bob if needed. Thanks to this outcome, I can sleep easy knowing that my family is protected.

I came to Law Offices of Robert P Bergman because my brother died and had a trust and the lawyer who put it together didn't transfer any of his assets into it and was disbarred. So we needed help. I went with this firm over the others because recommended by our attorney Jeffrey a. dennis-strathmeyer. My favorite thing about working with Law Offices of Robert P Bergman was quick and effective. As a result of their hard work, all items requested we moved into the trust. Thanks to the firm, quick and efficient thank you.

Robert is knowledgeable and a very competent advisor in all things regarding estate planning. He was very helpful to us in our particular situation.

    We attended one of their free seminars on estate planning. The session was very well done. After our complementary consultation, we decided to go with Litherland, Kennedy and Associates to restate our trust as updates were needed. We liked the flat rate structure and found the firm to be very responsive to our emails and phone calls and were pleased with the final result. The firm seems committed to educating their clients on estate planning. They have many free seminars including one for successor trustees which is excellent.

    By our proactive pre-planning our children can be more prepared Everyone knows this needs to be done, but the burden of the labor involved causes most of us to just go numb and so disengage from accomplishing that goal. Our family will now rest easier in our passing as we now know exactly what will transpire. Our wishes are easily met with logical steps and preplanned disbursements and counselling concerns for being wise with our estate and asset protection can be fulfilled.

    Fantastic Client Service Wonderful and professional. All staff is very helpful. Will recommend to friends and family.

    Roy and his team are very knowledgable and were dedicated to helping me through the process of creating a trust from the very first seminar I attended to the finish. Throughout the process, Justin and Martha answered all the questions I had and made the process simple. Extremely professional and friendly staff!

    I haven't met Roy but his partner and the secretary were rude.. They told me my husband have to be with me to set up a joint trust and if not I could go elsewhere. Do I really need to be told to go elsewhere? My husband works night and I work day. We have three kids which was why I asked if he could start with me first and my husband later. They had that "I don't need you" attitude...lol...then why have seminars and all the advertisements?? I regret for referring my friends to this law firm....never ever again. I didn't feel welcome. I felt as if they don't like Asian. Maybe they have had bad experiences with Asian but that just how they made me feel.

    I have known E.J. Hong for 6-7 years and have never hesitated referring her to my clients who are in need of estate planning services and want a reputable, knowledgeable, trustworthy Trust Attorney. E.J. is that person! Recently, my husband and I needed her professional help because our trust and our bank statements were under different trust names. We were in the process of buying a home and Wells Fargo Bank needed this cleared up right away, so time was of the essence. E.J. not only came to our rescue, but we had the letter the same afternoon and the issue was completely cleared up within the day! I cannot say enough complimentary things about E.J. Not only do I really like her as a person, I also won't hesitate putting my name behind hers and referring her to everyone I know!

    EJ has rewritten my living trust, correcting mistakes from a previous law firm (at about 1/2 the cost of that previous firm). I have been very happy with the results for the 6 years we've worked together.

    I had a living trust perform by E.J., and found her to be one of the only no nonsense, straight to business, constructive and most economical living trust lawyers in this valley. E.J. is a straight shooter, tells you how it is without criticism or rancor and I recommend her most heartedly to all. Zvi Ionis

E.J. is that person! Recently, my husband and I needed her professional help because our trust and our bank statements were under different trust names. We were in the process of buying a home and Wells Fargo Bank needed this cleared up right away, so time was of the essence. E.J. not only came to our rescue, but we had the letter the same afternoon and the issue was completely cleared up within the day! I cannot say enough complimentary things about E.J. Not only do I really like her as a person, I also won't hesitate putting my name behind hers and referring her to everyone I know!

      EJ has rewritten my living trust, correcting mistakes from a previous law firm (at about 1/2 the cost of that previous firm). I have been very happy with the results for the 6 years we've worked together.

      I had a living trust perform by E.J., and found her to be one of the only no nonsense, straight to business, constructive and most economical living trust lawyers in this valley. E.J. is a straight shooter, tells you how it is without criticism or rancor and I recommend her most heartedly to all. Zvi Ionis

    Good that i talked to Jay about couple of months ago. I have been deferring this, thinking it is a big tedious process. From the day i reached out Jay's office, i becomes easier and easier process, every step of the way. Starting from the introduction video, and the service Jay will be offering and what does it mean for me, personally. And, then the video call, where Jay provided all the details and taken our input. Jay was very professional, and listened to concerns and explained to us and provided the solution, in a way that we could understand. And, a timely follow up, and get the process done, with almost no additional from myside. It was a very pleasant experience with Jay & his organization, and it was not tedious process after all. Thank you Jay.

    If you are looking for an excellent Will and Trust lawyer , l highly recommend Jay Roadarmel and his team at LifePlan Lawyer. They are highly competent, efficient and caring. Everything was explained in detail and they welcomed any questions. Thank you so much, Jay and team.

    Jay and Debbie were fantastic guiding me through administrating the trust. It is a true small family business with real personal attention in every detail. They are also very thoughtful and great to work with. I highly recommend them and I rarely write reviews.

    I spent a lot of time researching a law firm for estate planning. Jay was highly rated and now we can see why. He is a demonstrated expert on CA estate laws and was exceptionally thorough in putting together our complete estate package (trust, healthcare directive, pour-over will, etc.). Jay, Debbie, and the staff are warm, nice people and our process from start to signature ran like clockwork. Their COVID precautions for our signature day made us feel very safe. I highly recommend this firm.

    We were able to get our trust updated in the midst of the Covid 19 mess without any issues. We felt it was done in the safest way possible. Jay and Debbie were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. The process was patiently explained to us in detail. We required a special request with how our house was handled and Jay was able to accommodate us. I would not hesitate to recommend their estate planning services.
