I retained this attorney for limited-scope representation in a California family law matter and paid a retainer based on her advice to proceed with filing an RFO to secure a hearing date, with the understanding that she would review and update the filing as needed. Shortly before my January 6 spousal support hearing, she withdrew from representation for personal reasons. This withdrawal occurred mid-case and placed me at a significant disadvantage, forcing me to urgently seek new counsel and incur additional legal fees. After withdrawing, she refused to refund any portion of the retainer, despite the work being left incomplete and the withdrawal creating additional costs. The timing and handling of the withdrawal caused unnecessary stress and financial burden in an active, time-sensitive case. Based on my experience, I would caution anyone considering this attorney for matters involving court deadlines or ongoing proceedings. read more

My parents worked with Matthew in 2019 and have raved about how great working with him was MANY times over the past year! I can't believe we took this long to post about his well-deserved 5 stars on here! My parents found Matthew to be extremely nice and helpful throughout an entire process they knew nothing about. He is very knowledgeable and was able to effortlessly breakdown any legal jargon into something they could easily understand. They met with him a few times and he was extremely patient as they figured everything out. Huge thank you to Matthew and his team - we cannot recommend working with them enough! read more

Found Matt on ARAG site through my work's legal plan and Matt and his team has been so pleasant to work with. For us, we were looking to do a will and a trust, which my husband and I knew nothing about. Luckily, Matt walked us through every step of the way and was extremely patient and humorous. We met him about 3 times to walk through process, documents and signing. He proved to be very organized, detail-oriented and covered every little thing we should be looking out for. I highly recommend Matt and his wife Liza is practicing Family Law so they both cover a big range of legal matters that people might need help with. I am so glad we found them! read more

My family and I would give Matthew and his team 10 stars if we could. During this difficult year of 2020, they have been instrumental in ensuring my father has sufficient long-term coverage for his stay at a nursing home. Regarding the above, we greatly appreciate Avedikian Law PC's expertise, communication skills and comfort during challenging times. Our questions have always been answered sufficiently, promptly, and in detail; putting our minds at ease. They have made the task of caring for an elderly and ill loved one, much more manageable. In addition to elder law services, they are great with estate planning. read more

Liza Avedikian and her team did a meticulous job of facilitating a victorious outcome on my child custody & support, request for attorneys fees, and enforcement of previous orders case. I would not have won my case without Liza's legal experience, professionalism, and most of all..grit! Thank you Liza for everything you have done for my children and I. With deep respect and gratefulness, Jennifer Pasetes read more

Matt and Liza helped me taking of my mom's trust administration after she passed away from ALS. They also provided me consultation on medi-cal recovery and estate planning while my mom was living with ALS. They were extremely knowledgeable and thorough , and went above and beyond my expectations. They helped answered all my questions regarding medi-cal recovery, living trust, and long-term care planing. I have consulted with three other elder law attorneys in the East Bay before, and no one could provide me the clarifications like Matt did. He even caught an error in my mom's living trust that my original attorney forgot to record the deed that transfers my mom's house to her trust. He then walked me through the implications of this mistake, and worked me to get this issue resolved through the court. I can't recommend them enough. If you need help with medicare/medi-cal consultation, estate planning, long-term care planing, or trust management, Matt and Liza are your number one choice. read more

I was extremely impressed with how thorough Matt was with setting up my family will and trust. I now feel my family is protected and that gives me peace of mind. Great personality and friendly as well. Thank you Avedikian team! read more

I am not sure exactly where to begin writing about Avedikian Law Offices. I called in to their office and was greeted professionally by Kristi. I explained my situation and she helped set up a meeting with Matt Avedikian. When I met Matt a week later, he was patient and answered my all of my questions. He helped me understand exactly what I needed for my situation. Seriously, you need someone that you can put your trust in to when you are dealing with all of your financial matters. He was available to answer many more of my questions via email (which I truly appreciated). In our final meeting, he was thorough when reviewing each and every document in my estate plan. Matt has not only helped me set up an estate plan but also explained my next steps in what I should do. Matt, I truly appreciate all of your efforts in helping me set up my estate plan (and especially doing it so quickly over the Holidays!!). Thank you so much! read more

We needed to redo our wills and trust and didn't want to go back to our initial lawyer. We found Avedikian Law through ARAG, available through my husband's work. Matt Avedikian is friendly and professional. He made sure the following was clear: what we wanted, what he could do for us, and what the cost would be. He is extremely organized and offers clear explanations of all subject matter. We will not hesitate to visit him again if needed. We consider him (and Liza, whom I met briefly and seems very kind and professional as well) to be our lawyers. Thanks again for great service! read more

We needed to get a trust set up for our family and we chose Avedikian Law even though it was out of our area. For us, it was worth the extra time driving to have it done right and by people that can be trusted. Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner and in ways we could easily understand. We had never done anything like this before and he put us at ease and made the process very simple. We highly recommend them and will be dealing with them in the future for all our legal needs. read more

Thank you very much to Matthew and his team for very professional business. Would definitely come back if needed and recommend to everyone. All the best! read more

Liza has always been very professional and responsive. She is very detailed and seems to always put yourself in the shoes of her client, which makes everything more relatable. I've always had a positive experience w her and outcomes have always been positive. I have lots of trust in Liza as does everyone else I have referred her way. read more

An amazing level of professionalism and service. I had the pleasure of working with Matt, Liza and Mona who helped me in the acquisition of my new business. Matt helped with both the purchase agreement and lease assignment - he had an enormous amount of knowledge and was very detailed and diligent. Mona and Matt helped set up my new corporation and make sure everything was set up correctly. Liza helped me with my new employee handbook and gave me advice on how to proceed with taking on the previous staff and on boarding them to my office policies and procedures. I've done this process twice before and it never went as smoothly or as easy as this went. And I attribute this to their depth of knowledge and attention to detail. All this and they tell me their specialty is Trust and Wills. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend them and I will for sure be back for any other legal advice. read more
