I retained Biddle Law for a complex estate litigation matter. Thanks to Alex Biddle's outstanding legal work, we fully prevailed. If you have a probate litigation or estate matter, or need a will crafted or trust created, you simply can't do better than Biddle Law. They are engaged, attentive, and friendly. Most importantly - they know the law! read more

If I could give Alex a zillion, a billion, a trillion stars I would. Trusts and will are never easy or pleasant but Alex was so knowledgeable and cool that it made the experience stress free and painless. Before I went to Alex I must have considered and consulted 5 other lawyers who gave me the run around or wouldn't fight for our trust since it was a revision. Alex took the time and effort to answer my questions and meet with me time and again to get it done perfectly. He can be reached in person or via email and is just 100% legitimate and awesome. I can't thank him enough for all his help in helping us with the trust and will we had to amend. Muchas gracias!! Merci beaucoup!! I can't say it in enough languages. Thanks Alex! read more

It took me a long time to find Mr. Biddle but I'm happy I didn't give up in my search to find a knowledgable, professional and personable attorney to help our family out in a difficult time. It was easy to get an appointment when I called, so we spent the next two days gathering and organizing all the information we could before our meeting. He took time to go over the documents, explaining which were important and what wasn't (It can be difficult in emotional situations to think clearly), and what would be helpful to get for him. He took action quickly and ultimately came to a resolution that was better than we could have hoped for. He's a compassionate, experienced attorney. He knows the law and really works hard on behalf of his clients. Highly recommend. read more

If you have never been through a trust and will experience, it is a extremely frustrating process. I have been to Iraq a few times (decorated combat disabled/veteran) and a trust and will experience is worse!! Alex is a family oriented man and extremely knowledgeable in his craft. He was able to negotiate a deal for our family that will set us up for years! We had family that we have trusted for decades turn on us. When it comes to money, family will turn on each other which is very sad. We called Alex on a Friday and on Monday he was in a 12 hour probate with us. Yes, 12 HOURS!! Alex is not just any other lawyer. I can whole hearty say, he is now considered a family friend!!! read more

Greg is awesome! He is Very efficient and knowledgeable. He is always available to answer calls along with my many questions I need answered. I am always thanking him for our therapy sections!! These brothers (Alex and Greg) make an awesome team! Thank you Greg for being on the other side when I am freaking out!! You guys are the best. read more

It turned out I wasn't in the right region, but this office was so helpful, taking the time to talk to me about my situation and even emailing me later on with a helpful referral. read more

Working with Greg and Alex for our estate planning was a great experience. I appreciated how they explained my options and worked with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend them for any of your estate needs. read more

A couple weeks ago, I went to Alex seeking advice about a complex property situation. It involved a family property, and I needed advice about the best way to deal with it. However, because I'd be discussing the issue with my family, I was concerned about making sure that we had some options, so that it wouldn't lead to a family dispute. After a short meeting, Alex presented me with some great recommendations and multiple routes that we could pursue. It was clear that he'd dealt with similar situations in the past and knew how it could be handled. There were follow-up services he could provide, but wasn't pushy at all, and said to just let him know if we needed anything when we decided which way to go. Overall, Alex was knowledgeable, easy going, and incredibly helpful. I walked out of that meeting with more information and fewer concerns. Thanks! read more

My mother recently passed away and Alex Biddle is taking care of the paperwork, transferring property and getting us new tax id numbers for the trusts we caretake. It has been difficult to need to take care of business when one is grieving but Alex and his team have been great in taking care of the details for us. I have had a few instances where I needed a question answered on the phone and he was right there for me. I am thankful. read more

We hired Atty. Biddle based on a recommendation from our previous Attorney. It was probably meant to be since he was the one on top of our list to contact based on Yelp reviews. He had to take over from our previous Attorney for unforeseeable circumstances. Long story short, he made the transition very seamless. He represented our case with gusto and was genuinely vested in the cause that we were fighting for. He is very knowledgeable of the law and steered my siblings and I to the right path. He was quick to respond and made sure to address our concerns immediately. My siblings and I highly recommend Attorney Alex Biddle for any probate/estate law needs as he is the best out there. He led us to a very favorable (victory, yay!) decision which will forever change our lives as we move on from a very messy legal battle! Thanks Atty. Alex! read more

Alex and his staff were great. He is a knowledgeable and no nonsense attorney. Time with him was well spent, and he delivered quality services at a fair price. Thank you! read more

Alexander Biddle was truly a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, patient, and a great communicator. He made the process as seamless as possible and my parents were able to get their estate planning done efficiently. He was very understanding of different cultures and worked with us in meeting my parents needs and desires. Mr. Biddle always promptly returned our phone calls and took extra time to answer any and all questions my parents had. My parents are from India and Alexander easily understood our family dynamic and always provided excellent counsel. I have and will continue to recommend Alexander to any other friends and family that are in need of estate planning assistance. read more

Alex advised and prepared my trust documents for me. The process was seemless and very efficient. His professional, yet personable demeanor made doing business smooth. I liked having everything included in (the very reasonable) price, such as emails and notarizing docs. Thank you Alex and also Greg for making the process so easy. read more

My family, and I could not be happier with the services provided by Alexander Biddle. His attentiveness, and dedication truly put our family at ease. He provided periodic updates, made himself available whenever we had question (and we had many!), and did a spectacular job preparing our estate planning documents. He is one of a few lawyers I have ever met that put the needs of the client first, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a top rate estate planning attorney! read more

Alex represented me through a complicated and stressful court proceeding. I couldn't have done it without Alex and his staff, especially Greg. read more

Being an executor of your parent's estate can be stressful enough, but when the moment comes with a sudden passing of your last parent, it's "Grade A" overwhelming. Of all the people you have to deal with, you tend to get a bunch of "Grade C" people, who make the process a nightmare. Alex and Greg get the only A+ of the bunch! I found Biddle Law by being a bagel lover. I'd always seen their small storefront when getting my favorite toasted garlic, lowfat cream cheese, tomato and onion next door. And when the moment of my mom's passing hit, I walked on in and hoped they could help. How lucky to live in a small town where you can get such personalized service. The Biddle Bros were always fast, never did I have to push them...they were always one step ahead. From sorting out getting documents for selling my parents estate, glitches in my parents will/trust, to dealing with forms for siblings, they made something complicated fast, simple and avoided unnecessary court actions. And when it came to dealing with a complicated life insurance issue, where the life insurance company was telling us we needed to do months long x, y and z, Alex stood firm that in CA, we only needed to do "x", they actually taught the insurance company a thing or two and it was completed in no time! Great to live in a small town with a fair, friendly, and "on it" team... you walk away feeling at ease... and a yummy bagel. Thanks brothers Biddle! read more

Outstanding client services! We worked with Alex and Greg to create our first family trust and the experience was excellent! The team is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend that you work with a local, knowledgeable attorney like Biddle Law over the generic templates so many people try to fill out themselves online. Not only did we get a great product at an excellent price but the customer service is just fantastic. We needed some extra forms for a recent home purchase and help understanding how to open a new account under the trust. Alex and Greg were quick to help and make sure it was done right the first time. Thank you again Alex and Greg, keep up the great work! read more

After my dad died of cancer, I didn't believe I could be more heartbroken or upset. And then, somehow, our family needed to obtain a probate lawyer. You never anticipate this kind of situation happening to you. Having to go through this process while managing grief is hard enough. Trying to find a lawyer who not only knows everything there is to know about California probate and wills, charges reasonable fees, and shows compassion about the situation was a nightmare. We talked to nine or ten lawyers before we met Alex and within ten minutes knew he was the person we wanted guiding us through this situation. My family has worked with Alex for four years now, I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough, and nothing I can articulate in a yelp review will do him justice. Give him a call. You will be glad you did. read more

Alex got done what we needed him to get done and did so in an expedient and friendly manner. Maybe the best experience I've had hiring an attorney. read more

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to echo what the other reviewers have said about how great Alex Biddle and his brother, Greg are. Alex helped my family and I during a very trying time when my father died while we were in the middle of a real estate transaction he was co-owner on. Alex wasn't able to confirm if we could still make the sale while his estate was in probate before the closing date which was in less than two months away, but he got back to us shortly that it was indeed possible and he rushed the process through with about a week or two to spare. He then patiently helped us through the rest of the probate process, making it easily understood and smooth. I would also like to add that I had called several other lawyers before Alex, and Alex was both the first to call me back. But was also the only lawyer who didn't try to rush me into a paid consultation. While I understand lawyers make money from their time and knowledge, sometimes it's good to talk for a few minutes to explain your situation to make sure that this case and the circumstances are something the lawyer could handle so we don't waste both our times. Alex was not only willing to talk, but he answered a few other questions that I had which made me comfortable to go with him. After having dealt with him, I can attest that the high reviews are all well earned. read more

Alex advised and prepared all necessary estate planning documents for my needs. The process was smooth, efficient, straightforward, and valuable. Alex was friendly, genuine, respectful and approachable. I was very pleased with the investment. read more

Quick responses, straight forward and great customer services from Alex.

My wife and I went to Alex for a complete estate plan. Alex took the time to explain everything. We sort of understood the process going in, but after 30 minutes with Alex, we felt much more comfortable knowing what we we're investing in. Now, we truly know what a trust is, and will recommend him to our family and friends. You will be happy if you hire this attorney! read more

Mr. Biddle provided a very comprehensive and accommodating service. The affidavit I needed and that he prepared exceeded my expectations and fully demonstrated that he had meticulously read through the original documents I had given him. The affidavit clearly foregrounded the location of critical information contained in the original documents. Very significantly, although his office is located in San Mateo, he arranged to meet with me in San Francisco. And regrettably, I was late to our first scheduled appointment, which he had to vacate because he had another appointment that my lateness threatened to make him late for. Astonishingly, he nonchalantly and generously rescheduled for the next day at no additional cost; despite my willingness to pay him for his time. I will have no problem both recommending him to others, and/or seeking his services again for my personal future legal needs. Shambhala MSW, MA, Ph.D.(student) read more

Alex Biddle worked on a case for us and I immediately felt very comfortable by his level of professionalism. He let us know exactly what we could expect and helped us through the process. We are very pleased with the results that Alex helped us get and we highly recommend him to others that find themselves in need of a lawyer. Thanks Alex! read more

I am so thankful for the services Alex provided for my husband and I. He helped us keep our home that we inherited from my mom's passing when my sister wanted to sell it. During the entire process he was informative, patient and accomplished everything in a timely manner. When the time comes for my husband and I to plan our own estate affairs we will definitely be back! read more

Alex helps me with contract interpretation and legal advice regarding my business. He's very responsive and has been a great help with any question, big or small. Thanks, Alex! read more

Alex represented me on a contract dispute. I'm a small business owner, and my landlord attempted to unlawfully go against our landlord-tenant agreement. There was an option built into the contract but landlord was trying to get out of it so he could charge me more rent. The contract was ambiguous and Alex pointed out that ambiguous contracts are construed against the drafter (which was landlord). Alex quickly responded to landlords attorney and resolved my issue at little expense. I know that Alex works with real estate because he is a probate attorney, so I will be sending him all of my friends and family for estate planning needs. Thanks Alex. read more

My family and I had been putting estate planning off for a while. We were worried it would take a long time and be really expensive, but my brother strongly recommended Alex. My wife and I have two young boys. We hardly have anytime to get away -- (let alone to do estate planning) -- so when we found out that Alex is willing to work weeknights and Saturdays to accommodate our schedule, we were sold. Alex was incredibly responsive, and we were able to do nearly the entire process remotely. He understands the law incredibly well and is pursing an advanced legal degree in estate planning. I highly recommend this attorney. read more

I had a great experience working with Alex and his office. Alex definitely knows how to be effective and efficient with your time. The location of his office is very convenient and the weather is pretty much always perfect. Especially if you're the type of person who likes to consult in an outside environment. Thanks again Alex! read more

Alex is one of the most professional, diligent, respectable attorneys I've met. I had a question and concern about a probate issue and he was prompt in responding to me and addressing all my concerns. I would highly recommend Alex for any wills and trust issue. read more

In my business as a Real Estate professional, it is important to have trusted and credible resources I could confidently refer my clients to. Working together with Alex an Estate Planning Attorney, I am able to provide my clients with a professional who provides exceptional customer service, communicates, follows up and delivers on what he says. I appreciate Alex's honesty, attention to detail and would recommend his services in his field of practice. read more

I use Alex for all of my personal estate planning needs. I am also a financial advisor by trade, and I trust Alex to help my clients with their estate planning needs as well. Whether working with him personally or professionally with my clients, he always displays a deep level of knowledge, patience and attentiveness. He is also incredibly responsive, which cannot be said of many attorneys in my experience. read more

I'm based in SF, and contacted Alex about a real estate law issue. He was very prompt and easy to reach. When I discussed my issue with him, he brought up a bunch of points that other attorney's I spoke with had not mentioned, or even thought of. We went over all the different legal issues that could arise, and possible problems. Definitely a go to attorney for real estate law in the bay area. read more

Alex Biddle is an excellent trust attorney. I felt very comfortable knowing that Alex would handle my family's estate plan. I like that when I work with Biddle Law, I know I'll be dealing only with my attorney. I tried educating myself about trusts through reading online, and the concepts were kind of confusing and abstract. After an hour with Alex, he was able to explain the trust relationship in a way that made it all clear to me. He answered all of my questions and used great examples to illustrate his points. I'm happy that there is a plan in place for my family when something serious occurs, and I will recommend Alex as an attorney in the future to my friends and family. read more

Alex was very responsive in assisting my brother in creating a trust. Based on the information provided him on the phone he was able to provide a draft trust which required minimal modifications. He even made a house call, which is totally unheard of these days. Alex went above and beyond in customer service. Looking for a good will or trust lawyer? I recommend Alex. read more

I found Alex Biddle via his Yelp reviews. My family needed to update our Trust and Will, power of attorney, and health care directive as it had been many years since it was first done. We had two different trusts to update - my elder mother and my family's trust. Updating my mother's trust was complicated from a legal and tax standpoint. Alex guided us though the process, advising us regarding optimal strategies to manage potential legal issues and tax implications. His advice was sound, he was diligent in his follow up, and his rates were reasonable. I would highly recommend Alex as he is an expert in this area. read more

Alex has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. He is a very versatile attorney and recently helped me with my small businesses... From employment agreements, wage claims, and franchise agreements Alex has exuded not only an extremely high level of professionalism, but has also built an irreplaceable level of trust amongst myself and my business partner. I have since referred Alex to several of my colleagues and will continue to seek his advice for any legal matters down the road! read more

I called Alex to discuss my Advanced Healthcare Directive. I've been in the heathcare industry for over 10 years and have seen, time and again, the difficult decisions family members have had to make for loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. Recently, this issue hit very close to home and I decided I didn't want that burden on my family members. I didn't know where to start or what information I needed to get the process going, gut that didn't matter; after just ONE phone call Alex had a draft ready for my review! He was attentive to my concerns, had a frinedly and patient demeanor, and didn't overwhelm me with legal lexicon. After reviewing the draft, I emailed him to clarify a few items and he responded promptly and thoroughly. Once my documents were finalized, I also inquired about estate planning for my grandfather. We had one more conversation and the next morning I had drafts for my grandfather's review. I have never had such a pleasant experience speaking with an attorney - definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I have found Alex to be approachable, professional, and extremely helpful. He answered all of our many questions and concerns regarding a real estate contract with amazing speed and with great patience. He updated us consistently on an ongoing basis as he wrote the new contract. We have been so pleased with his services that we are planning to also have him do our new wills. We would recommend him without reservation to our friends and family. read more
