Over fifteen years ago, a local attorney prepared a revocable trust, pour-over wills, advance…read moredirectives, etc., for my spouse and me. The attorney has no office staff, and it can be difficult to reach them at times. Since we want our attorney to be there for us and our adult children when guidance is needed for estate responsibilities, we consulted Adam Evan to discuss our situation. Adam responded immediately, and was cordial and informative over several communications. It's clear that Adam makes every effort to be readily available when a client needs him, but we learned that moving our estate documents to him will require a new trust. Since I try to read and understand every document, to be sure it's what is intended, we're hesitating until I have the time to carefully read through the many pages of a new trust, but we are very impressed with Adam's background, experience, responsiveness, and integrity.

Janis is unique in that her expertise is elder law. You will not find very many elder law experts in California, or in the rest of the USA. Our relationship has grown over the years, and Janis now provides monthly seminars on the latest information concerning issues vital to seniors, like how to protect yourself or loved one when Alzheimers disease becomes an issue. She covers many topics associated with seniors. For example, how to legally sell your home and not pay a massive tax bill. Seniors are generally in the dark on how to handle the issues of the retirement years. They generally do not have enough money to survive. There are excellent ways of handling this situation, and Janis is a rare expert in all of these. I highly recommend her for trusts, will, etc. Bob M
