I appreciated that he was not quick to take just any case that came across his desk. Once I presented my evidence, the conversation immediately shifted to "when," "next steps," and "we." He worked tirelessly with us on a very sensitive and tedious case that spanned several years. Throughout the process, he guided our family with patience and clarity, explained his strategy thoroughly, and offered thoughtful guidance so we were always prepared. We were extremely happy with his representation and highly recommend him.

Eight years ago, we worked with Patrick to create a trust to ensure that our assets and home can…read morepass to our children with the least amount of friction and loss due to probate. We knew very little about trusts - just some advice provided by friends. Coming into this process pretty raw, Patrick was able to step us through the basics concepts and considerations, making suggestions that we hadn't thought of but made sense. For example, he suggested cliffs in terms of when assets would be made available to our kids depending on their age and average maturity. He also suggested additional contingencies such as backup to guardianship in case of the unavailability of the primary guardian.However, he also highlighted many other aspects relating to the trust but beyond the scope of the trust that can help ensure we maintain control if something adverse happened to us such as the power of attorney and contingencies in the case of either me or my spouse becomes incapacitated. We felt very well protected based on the trust that we drew up with Patrick's assistance. Fast forward 8 years and, again, we looked towards Patrick to help guide us through changes in our trust to fit our current family snapshot, with more properties, more assets, older kids, and aging grandparents who may not be the best fit for guardianship. Based on his guidance and based on the size of the assets we've accumulated, we updated the cliffs for when our children will take control of our assets. We updated our health directives. Most importantly, we revisited a list of to-do items that we failed to carry through with, such as a list of all the financial institutions to provide to our executor and having conversations with executor and guardians about their role and our wishes for how fund may be distributed if they assumed control. Equally important in this entire process is Patrick's very clear, very personable, very disarming approach in conversations concerning the difficult topic of planning for the worst. My wife and I appreciated this aspect of Patrick's service immensely. I highly recommend using Patrick for your trust, will, and estate planning needs.

He was clear about why the trust and powers of attorney could be useful, explained legal terms when we had questions, and was very good about checking with my mother about her intentions and goals and asking her about her wishes in situations she may not have thought about. His office was also really efficient - on days when we were signing papers, he had everything ready and a notary ready for us. He was also able to pull in an accountant with tax knowledge when we had questions about how to settle the trust. The process of creating the documents and settling the trust went much smoother than I expected, and his fees were both clear and reasonable. I was very grateful for his help and would recommend him without reservation.

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.
