Very thorough, excellent at explaining the "whys" of what we were doing together, and fun to work with - even working through thorny topics!

I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

James was an ultimate professional, he even found an error in the legal description of our latest deed recorded in 2003 by comparing it with our initial purchase deed from 1998 and our neighbor's deeds. He divided the whole process into different stages and made a complicated process relatively easy. At first, he asked a lot of questions to collect personal data and gauge what exactly we need for our plan. Then he gave us some specific homework and encouraged us to ask more questions. At the final stage, he gave us a big beautiful binder of estate plans with a cover letter about some further instructions to avoid any problems in the future. Over all, he was a delight to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

My wife and I recently completed our estate plan with Nerisha and the experience exceeded every…read moreexpectation. As a working couple with two young daughters, we had been putting this off for years -- partly out of complexity and partly not knowing where to start. Nerisha made the entire process feel manageable, thoughtful, and thorough. She prepared a comprehensive estate plan including a revocable living trust, wills, durable powers of attorney, and advance health care directives for both of us. What stood out was how carefully she tailored everything to our specific situation -- we have assets across multiple financial institutions, employer stock plans, retirement accounts, and a home with a mortgage, and she addressed every piece with clear, practical guidance. Nerisha didn't just hand us documents -- she provided a detailed cover letter explaining exactly what each document does, how to fund the trust, what beneficiary designations to update, and the precise wording to use at each financial institution. Months later, when we were actually executing on all those steps, that guidance proved invaluable. When we ran into a specific technical limitation on a beneficiary field at one of our brokerages, she responded the same day with exactly the right wording -- no back and forth, no ambiguity. Her notary work was flawless, documents were delivered with scanned digital copies, and her office was responsive every single time we reached out. The peace of mind we now have -- knowing our family is protected no matter what happens -- is something we cannot put a price on. If you are a family with complex finances or simply someone who has been putting off estate planning, I cannot recommend Nerisha highly enough. She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients. -- Ninad K., San Ramon, CA

I found a few corrections, and she called me in so that we could sign them and pay the notary and filing fees. Filed and done! Thank you, Laura! You're a gem!

But it turned out she called me to just tell me she does not accept any new Metlife cases. I think this could have been told me at the very beginning, so I would not wait for nothing and call another office instead just wasting my time.

Having a trust done can be daunting and confusing…read more I'm thrilled that we met Brian and he walked us through everything like a piece of cake. From the point of contact, he provided a webinar explaining the basics of what a trust is. Whenever I emailed him, he always has an auto reply message to inform clients when to expect communication responses and I love that. With every question and concern, Brian is there every step of the way. He is very responsive, clear in communication and supportive! Also, he is very approachable so that I don't become afraid of asking too many questions. From the time we did the questionnaire to the time the trust was completed for signing was about 1 month. He could prob do it quicker just depends on when you schedule your signing date. I'm glad we got this "to do" completed. It's been on the back of my mind since our first child was born. This is definitely someone that I recommend for anyone who needs a trust. It's very true that he builds relationships with his client for long term and not just one transaction.
