I cannot say enough good things about Gadzo Law. My husband and I found them more than a year ago using our ARAG benefit from work. Alexandra is personable, friendly, and very competent legally. We wanted to prepare a living trust and will. Due to some personal issues, it took us about a year to complete the original paperwork. When I contacted the office to schedule the final signoff, her assistant contacted me right away and got us in within a week. And, we paid the same rates from the prior year even though the price had increased for that service in the meantime. Wonderful office and people. Thank you so much for your help, Alexandra! read more

For many years I had ignored having an estate plan prepared until I got divorced and realized that my ex was a not financially capable and I would be solely responsible for my children. My divorce attorney recommended Ms. Gadzo. As it turned out, my divorce attorney was not completely competent, but his recommendation that I retain Ms. Gadzo was an excellent one. I am a reasonably good attorney, and a reasonably sophisticated consumer of legal services. I was quite impressed by Ms. Gadzo's legal acumen, and in particular, I was impressed by her understanding of estate planning issues that are unique to divorced single parents. Ms. Gadzo is very dedicated, smart and intuitive. She is very good at client counseling, identifying significant top level issues, and reducing the abstract down to the concrete. She is also very thorough, meticulous and honest. I was very impressed by Ms. Gadzo, and would recommend her without reservation. read more

Most of us tend to avoid thinking about our deaths and what will happen after that. But we all need to do some planning and if you're in Silicon Valley and own a home, stock, 401(k), etc. you probably need expert help to ensure that assets left after you're gone is transferred to family, friends, charities with the least amount of taxes / overhead. We recognized that we needed someone to help us with this process so I asked our financial advisor for suggestions. The office technically isn't allowed to "recommend" anyone, but they had vetted several attorneys nearby and Ms. Gadzo scored well. We did some more inquiries and liked what we saw. We met twice with Alexandra and her team - first to discus our wishes and turn in our "homework" - getting started forms found on her website. The second time was to review the deliverables. Both times we found them knowledgeable, accurate and easy to work with. We recommend them highly. It's not a fun task but Alexandra made it less stressful than it might have been. read more

Alexandra's level of expertise, professionalism, and counseling surpassed our greatest expectations.

Alexandra Gadzo and her team are very competent, ethical, friendly and personable.

In 2010, I retained Ms. Alexandra Gadzo to complete a living trust document for myself that included a request for several nonstandard beneficiary clauses which met my specific family needs. Ms. Gadzo was extremely detailed in explaining the pros and cons of my nonstandard beneficiary clause requests, before including the nonstandard beneficiary clause language as part of the final living trust document. Her honest legal risk assessment was *GREATLY* appreciated. As a result, in late 2012, I again retained Ms. Gadzo to modify my existing living trust document to accommodate a planned 2013 marriage. Among the needed amendments was my request that some nonstandard "life estate interest" language be added. Once again, Ms. Gadzo researched the best legal way to achieve my desired result. She spent considerable time explaining the legal risk pros and cons, before making the requested changes and completing the amended living trust document. Ms. Gadzo is the consummate legal professional. She accepts traditional clients and employer provided "cafeteria style" legal services clients, yet treats everyone the exact same way. Even more important, her office is **NOT** a "legal factory mill" churning out standard legal results just to keep the monthly cash flow going. Ms. Gadzo listens to your legal needs and works extremely hard to satisfy every legally possible request. I highly recommend Ms. Gadzo for all of your living trust and estate planning legal needs. She is extremely fair and works really hard to get the job done right! read more

Alexandra Gadzo is a wonderful person to work with; as is her office team. No one wants to do any of this planning as it is sad. However, she walked us through the whole process and did an excellent job helping us decide what is best for us. I would highly recommend Alexandra to anyone! read more

My husband and I realized it was time to update our estate planning. In our first version we worked with a large well-known firm headquartered in Palo Alto and although the work was good, we paid top price to use such a well known firm. We were fortunate to find Alexandra Gadzo through online reviews and she did an outstanding job for us. We didn't feel nickled and dimed the way we did with the larger firm due to their strict billing practices. Instead, Alexandra took time and helped us cut through what was important vs. what might just add hours and complexity that we don't need. Alexandra and her team were prompt, professional and simply very pleasant to work with. We feel fortunate to have found an attorney we are likely to have a long term relationship with and we would highly recommend Gadzo Law to others. read more
