I conducted research online to determine who I should go to and who was the best fit for me. Happily, I found attorney Lisa Chan. She went above and beyond my expectations. From my first phone call to meeting her and completing the Advanced Healthcare Directive, my entire experience with her was wonderfully positive. Her rate is very reasonable in the Bay Area. She was very patient in listening to and answering all of my concerns and questions​ and offered professional guidance on areas I was unfamiliar with. It is evident that she is very knowledgeable about her practice. I can feel that she truly cares about her clients and treats them with respect and dignity. I will definitely be returning to Lisa for future services and highly recommend her.

Though we went through much of this remotely due to the pandemic, from the very first meeting, it was clear that he's not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but also a genuinely kind and empathetic person. A true family man who understands the emotional weight of estate planning. We had put off this process for years--it always felt too tough. But Adam walked us through everything with clarity and patience. He explained the legal concepts in a way that made sense, and gave us a detailed checklist to help transfer all our assets into the trust. That alone was a game-changer. What really stood out was how he handled the heavier topics with a matter-of-fact approach that was still deeply compassionate. He made it feel okay to talk about the hard stuff, and that made all the difference. Thanks to him, we now have peace of mind knowing our family is protected and our wishes are clearly laid out. I honestly can't imagine how we'd feel today if we hadn't taken this step with his help.

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.

Yael is everything you could possible want in an attorney - extremely efficient, fast, intelligent, and thorough - yet what sets her apart is her emotional intelligence and genuine support during an incredibly stressful time.

She is impeccably professional always arriving to court prepared and dressed to the highest standard, projecting confidence and authority. Yael is strong, decisive, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing - which comes from decades of experience and mastery of her field. You feel protected with Yael. You feel heard. And most importantly, you fee confident knowing you are in exceptionally capable hands. I cannot recommend her highly enough - worth every penny.
