Jane Hall set up a trust. Which included all the necessary items that need to be addressed if something happens to one of us or both of us at any point in the future. We were able to schedule our appointments at our convenience with our busy schedules which was important. She handled some difficult outstanding title issues and got everything cleared up for us to move forward. We were very satisfied with her services and plan on referring her in the future.

I was confused with the numerous options of Estate planning and I turned to Jane Hall for advice. She guided me along the process of taking the correct steps in preparing financial documents for my parents. My father was very ill and my mom wanted to make sure that all bank and savings were in order and protected from disaster. My dad has since passed away and thanks to Jane my mom has not incurred any problems with his paperwork. Our family is very grateful to Jane for pointing the way to greater security. Jane is easy to talk with and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you Jane!

We had a wonderful experience with Jane arranging our trust. She led us easily through all the steps and explained every detail. Her work was thorough and it was a pleasure getting to know her through the process. We feel confident about putting ourselves in her capable hands.

A attorney who has the ability to communicate the law and connect on a personal level. Jane provides expertise and direction in a calm and effective way. Great lawyer

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.

After calling about a dozen different attorneys who claim to be elder abuse attorneys, my wife and I hired The Walker Law Firm to handle a tough situation involving financial and emotional elder abuse committed against my elderly mother-in-law. Mr. Walker was the only attorney I called that initially asked all the right questions that none of the other attorneys asked and he determined we definitely had a case. Throughout the process, Stephen Lewis and Joe Walker guided us through the challenges of court delays and various curve balls to bring us to a successful conclusion that included the court finding 100% in our favor and the guilty defendants paying back 100% of the money taken from my mother-in-law, as well as all of the expenses we incurred to fight this battle over a 20 month period. The knowledge, experience, and expertise of The Walker Law Firm was clearly the reason we won and it was worth every penny we spent to bring our case to a successful conclusion. We can't thank Stephen and Joe enough for what they did for us and we're so happy to put all of this behind us with a solid win for the good guys!

This firm actually cares about the outcome of your case - that has not always been my experience. My attorney was Andrea Hamud; she defended me against all odds and won. She is smart, competitive and is well respected by her peers. If you have to spend money on an attorney, this will be the cheapest the best decision you will make.

I would highly recommend the Walker Law Firm. The Firm is professional and accommodating. If you need legal counsel call them.

The Walker Law Firm assisted me with my family trust. Very professional staff. I would recommend them to all of my friends and families!

These guys are real pros.

I had a dispute with my older sister over interpretation of the family trust. Our attorney Roee Kaufman advised us to go to mediation. He patiently, kindly and professionally guided us through the whole process. We were able to to get a more fair settlement for me and my younger sister. I couldn't have done it without him.

Lindsey Munyer of Keystone Law Group is, after careful investigation, the person (and law group) I decided to go with to help me understand my new inheritance from my mom's trust. I simply wanted someone backed up by an entire firm who i felt i could trust to have the utmost high integrity along with a caring and loving spirit. I find Lindsey to be highly qualified and professional; and thankfully she is also very nice, straightforward, transparent and easy to work with. I did not hire her to litigate, but rather for informational purposes...to help me understand about trusts and how to proceed with all i was going through. She did this. If for any reason I DO need to litigate, I will turn to her. If there is a need again for her bright mind, I will not hesitate to contact her. I feel sure she will help many others. I hope this review helps others like me to choose her and the excellent firm called Keystone Law Group. Best Regards, Jim Martineau.

Most people think inheriting a house is cause for joy. But it can feel stressful when you live and work on the other side of the country and there’s an adverse party with an equal share of the property that could drag out the process. I felt short on time, energy, money — and estate law expertise. Roee Kaufman took my case with legal fees paid out of the settlement. No more worries about money. He addressed my questions and concerns, communicated next steps, and made me feel part of the process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Keystone Law Group.

Was fooled by the marketing hype of them knowing probate, but after a week of reaching out they responded rejecting my case, it seems they just want basic probate administration cases, they sell you that they know what they are doing but it’s a scam. If you have stupid money go ahead throw it away.

My contact person with Keystone Law Group was Roee Kaufman. He worked on my Living Trust case, for unfortunately several years but eventually it working out for me and I couldn't be more pleased of the outcome. They stood by me, when I needed representation, and walked me through each step of the process so that the outcome would be in my favor. Thanks to this Law Firm, and especially Roee, I'm retaining the home that was promised to me by my late parents, to be carried on to my passing and inherited to the next generation. I highly recommend this law firm for any legal problem you may have.

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.

My husband and I went to Art for estate planning -- wills, trusts, etc. We were clueless and Art spent a lot of time walking us through various options and gave us a lot to think about. He is an outstanding attorney who takes care of his clients. And most importantly, Art is a really good man. We came to trust and admire him very much. 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 dealt with Art and his firm for over 15 years. In every instance my needs have been met in a professional and expedient manner. I highly recommend this firm to all needing a competent attorney for their estate planning needs.

Excellent and competent. would refer anyone I know to the firm. plan on continuing to use the firm for my legal matters. Charles Young DDS

Especially in a time when one is very vulnerable, emotional and most confused, Art and his office staff can be fully depended upon for his integrity, caring, and, most importantly, his great expertise provided with the utmost degree of professionalism. I cannot recommend Art Swerdloff highly enough!

Provided us with a family trust, very competent and thorough. Additionally provided us with timely advise on another family trust that I manage, excellent.

My wife and I were looking for help with establishing a living trust, and found Joshwa through a web search. Our experience working with Joshwa is consistent with all the 5-star reviews he has received. Making an appointment was simple through his website. Joshwa took the time to discuss and explain the details and answered all our questions. Phone and video appointments were available during the height of Covid, and in-person visits later on. He made the process simpler and easier than we expected. And now our living trust is done! Until the next revision.. Check out his web site for helpful FAQs and videos.

I was in search for a local Estate Lawyer for my parents and were fortunate enough to find Joshwa through a web search. The experience with working with Joshwa was professional, thorough, and diligent. Joshwa took time to discuss and clarified any questions my family had regarding the living trust. The process was straight forward with Joshwa and would I highly recommend him to anyone seeking Estate services.

The reviews speak for themselves. Joshwa helped us set up our trust and made the process very easy and even enjoyable. He is professional, responsive, and gave us complete confidence on knowledge of the law and process. This was our first time and had a lot of questions and Joshwa was very patient with us and answered all our questions in detail. I highly recommend Joshwa!

Having never set up a living trust before, I thought it would be complicated. But Joshwa Wang made it a very comfortable and easy process. I am very happy with my trust. It is very thorough and detailed. Because of the pandemic, it was accomplished online with drive up signing and notary. I am very satisfied and grateful for the service I received. I highly recommend Joshwa Wang for all your estate needs.

Whenever I have a question or run into a problem that needs legal guidance, Joshwa responds in a timely manner. He answers in a clear, easy to follow manner making sure we understand what is before us. I only wish I could find a Joshwa in my other legal dealings.

Elise's hands-on approach made creating an estate plan easy and understandable. She took the time to listen to my needs and helped me to design an estate plan that addressed difficult family dynamics that at first blush would not be easy to overcome.

I would highly recommend Elise for all of your estate planning and probate needs. Eilse - Thank you for all of your help!

I have worked with Ms. Lampert in the past and utilized her services. I was impressed with her professionalism and her vast knowledge base. She was attentive to my questions and responded on a timely basis. I observed her dealing with the opposing counsel and found her to be able to listen to their opinions and yet firm and bold when explaining my position regarding the legal issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a goal oriented, knowledgeable legal professional.

Ms. Lampert is a compassionate and knowledgeable professional who has provided sound legal advice and council to me over the years. She been extremely instrumental in helping me resolve some emotional family legal issues that have been on-going for many years.

A job Well Done! I was a client of Elise Lampert for a year. Just the thought of facing a double probate can be quite daunting but Ms. Lampert guided me through the entire process.
