Matthew Hart is a highly qualified Trust Lawyer. He and his staff are very pleasant and…read moreprofessional. It's a bigger process than I realized. He listened, suggested, but always said it was my decisions. He kept me on track and helped to clarify things, that helped lead me to the right decisions for me and my family. Sadly, I went to him after losing my husband not long ago. Something we talked about doing, but hadn't taken care of. It was so hard for me to meet with Matthew, after my loss. I'm so glad that he was recommended to me. There are many things to consider, A Trust, A Will, An Advanced Health Directive, Banking Accounts, Retirement Accounts, Real Estate, etc, and must be considered and your wishes recorded for the protection of your family. Don't put it off! Make an appointment if you can. Do it to protect your family ! You will feel such a "Peace of Mind". Thank You Matthew and Staff

I never post reviews, but this was such a horrific experience that I felt compelled to share it in…read morethe hope that it helps someone else. I hired this firm after the end of a long-term relationship. I was heartbroken and trying to navigate one of the hardest periods of my life. I trusted them to help me through what should have been a straightforward uncontested divorce. Instead, the process became another source of stress and I feel that hiring them was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I completed everything requested of me promptly. Despite that, my documents sat for months without being reviewed, became outdated, and had to be redone. Important deadlines were repeatedly handled at the last possible moment, often with little communication, leaving me anxious and scrambling. Documents submitted to the court even contained minor errors such as my first name spelled incorrectly. That alone made me question how carefully my case was being handled. Most concerning, my judgment was rejected by the court twice due to errors. After spending thousands of dollars, I lost confidence that my case was being handled with the care it deserved. Even after the divorce was finalized, my prior last name was not restored in the judgment despite me asking about it multiple times. That has created another legal issue I now have to fix myself. When I raised concerns, these documented errors were referred to as "alleged" mistakes which was upsetting and dismissive. What I wanted most was accountability and reassurance that communication and office practices would improve so someone else would not go through this. Because of this experience, I am considering filing complaints with the State Bar of California and the Better Business Bureau.

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.
