We are very happy that we contacted Ms. Kepler. Our family situation makes our trust complicated. She spent a lot of time with us and asked us thought provoking questions. We sincerely appreciate the guidance Ms. Kepler gave us. We have recommended her to two friends. They were very satisfied.

A very personable, professional and detailed attorney. I highly recommend her services.

Well, if you need a friendly and understanding person, this gal is not the one for you! Phone demeanor was was curt and snotty. She seemed very unwilling to answer anything about what was presented to her and did not offer a potential referral to someone that could potentially help. Best advice to her is to rethink her opening image and realized attorney's are a dime a dozen! Best wishes to her future!

Reading a posted "negative" review I almost did not contact Laila Kepler for the estate planning I needed. I'm glad I made my own decision to go forward. She did an extremely thorough job completing my Trust and I can't say enough about her professionalism.

Superior service.

In the Fall of 2018, tragedy suddenly befell my family . I was at a loss, both literally and figuratively in sorting out the financial matters pertinent to my late brother . Esq. Noah Herbold was my initial contact,. He came highly referred by an extended family member . I found him to be supremely knowledgeable as well as empathetic to my situation For the scope of my legal issue that needed to be resolved , he referred me to his partner Tamsen Reinheimer. I was under the supposition there could be no way that his partner would be as understanding and exude the same level of competency . Well, ladies and gentlemen let me inform you that at Mortensen and Reinheimer, PC their remarkable team is nothing short of “Lightening in a bottle” !!! Before meeting with Tamsen, I spoke to Lynette . Lynette was a “breath of fresh air”. She was extremely helpful. She kindly scheduled the first available date and time with Tamsen. After meeting with Tamsen for the first time, I must say that I was highly impressed with her legal skill set in addition to her charismatic personality. I was convinced that she would be the attorney to best represent the construct of my beloved brother’s estate . From start to finish this emotional process, was completed far before the 15 months that I was previously tentatively given. If you are looking for legal representation in the area of Trust, Estate, or Probate, please do yourself a favor and consult with the effective and gifted legal Staff and Partners of Mortensen & Reinheimer.

Very professional and understanding attorneys. Definitely worth the money. They take care of you. I was looking for a full service and transactional Trust attorney. The best in Orange County is found, here.

Esq. Weily Yang was professional and thorough in preparing our estate planning. He was responsive and followed up well with our concerns. It was a lot to grasp a comprehensive legal document from a simple case but it's necessary and well appreciated.

Nothing but a good experience from start to finish. Thank you for helping us navigate the intricacies of the legal process.

I worked with Noah on a very contentious litigation matter and appeal. Noah's litigation skills were excellent, particularly on direct and cross examination. The closing arguments were detailed, succinct and right on point. I obtained very favorable results and highly recommend this law office!

The Snyder Law team is highly knowledgable and professional. The client experience was remarkable; they go above and beyond to out the needs of their clients first. I've been pleased with their quality of work, strategic thinking and attention to detail.

Great team! Professional and thorough. Snyder Law went above and beyond to meet our needs. They saved us a ton of money on property taxes! They are our go-to for any future legal needs.

We recently finished our estate planning with Snyder Law and give him and the team 5 stars! 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. Kevin is a family man who is passionate about the well-being of his clients. 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!

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.

Working with Hannah Farmington and Snyder Law was very positive and thorough experience. The completed documents are well organized and will be easy to reference in the future. Hannah took the time to make everything clear and answer all of my questions. Her competence and skill are evident and much appreciated. I look forward to continuing our work together.

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!

Ernest J. Kim did an outstanding job with our living trust. I was extremely impressed. He explained everything in detail and answered all questions. I highly recommend Ernest Kim.

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.

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:)

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!

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. Rob L.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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!

Atty. Alavi explains process thoroughly. A seemingly daunting task is made simple. Amanda @ the office clearly walks through documents upon notarization. She is always responsive. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Max and his team provided excellent value for money. They prepared all our trust documents in the short timeframe they promised, and we are very happy with the result. We'd use them again if needed.
