As soon as I called Eva, she was quick to return my voicemail message and squeezed me into her busy schedule. She was very attentive and asked lots of questions. Many of which I hadn't thought of. Needless to say, for the first time I feel like progress is being made. Eva was also instrumental in helping us navigate the lengthy Berkeley permitting process. She is a wealth of information, and if she doesn't know something, she will go back and thoroughly research the issue. Call Eva!

We were referred to Lisa when a relative had an issue with her existing trust from another lawyer…read morewhose follow up skills were atrocious. Lisa reviewed her trust and was able to fix all the issues. After that was taken care of, we asked her to do our trust. She listened to our very specific bequeaths, gave some feedback, and ran with it without trying to talk us out of it. We referred Lisa to several friends, and two got their trusts done with her before we finalized ours. They were also happy with her service. We appreciate her calm and professional demeanor along with the service she provided.

I seriously can't say enough amazing things about April & Natalia! They have been by my side for…read morethe past few years, and as a young business owner running my own little cafe, I truly don't know what I would do without them! From day one, they've guided me through so many legal situations that I would've had no clue how to handle on my own. Contracts, employee stuff, & just other issues that I never thought I would have -- you name it, they've helped me navigate it all. And every single time, they make me feel heard, supported, and safe. Like, actually safe. They never talk down to me or make me feel like I'm asking a silly question -- instead, they empathize and I can feel that they've got my back 1000%. There are so many days where I'm overwhelmed running the cafe, juggling a million things -- and when something legal pops up, it's just such a relief knowing I can call them and instantly feel that weight lift off my shoulders. They explain everything so clearly and always make me feel confident in whatever decisions I need to make. Thankfully, we've never had to go to actual court (knocking on wood!!) -- but deep down, I just know that if we ever did, we'd win. No question. These women are so strong, sharp, and insanely knowledgeable -- I'd trust them with anything. It's such a blessing having a lawyer who genuinely cares, fights for you, and gives you peace of mind. Thank you ladies!!

I do not recommend using Elladene Lee Kats for your real estate business! She sounds cocky and…read moreboasts about her knowledge in real estate!

We were promised to have our agreement and transaction done in 3 weeks or less. It turned out to be almost a month and a half to get it over! And I just recently received the reappraisal from the accessor office for the property tax increase! When inquiring about my concern on this, she said it shouldn't trigger a reappraisal! WTH!

She gave sound advice and really had the best interests of the children in mind. As I have learned more about Family Court I look back at advice she gave me and I can tell you she really was thinking of my children in all her actions. I felt she tried to move the case forward quickly and efficiently. Ideally a divorce would would also have opposing counsel also be non adversarial. Lisa was very adept at negotiating and took charge during the final details. I had an attorney see my divorce custody agreement recently and was very impressed at Lisa's work. I have to say I really disliked the home valuator she recommended we use. I do have to say Lisa does care about the well being of children in divorce and for that I am extremely grateful.
