Marc represented me in San Mateo County Superior Court. I had to defend myself against a lawsuit…read morebrought by my HOA. It took almost two years to bring this case to a conclusion. Marc was clear about the legal (and financial) issues throughout the process. I am especially thankful for his preparation and performance as we entered binding arbitration. And while it was never a foregone conclusion, in the end, we prevailed! More recently I have had to reach out to Marc on a much less significant issue (also concerning my HOA). As always, his advice was spot-on. Can not recommend him highly enough!

Should I believe them or not?

Time is money, and hiring Mario was worth every penny. I sent a request through Yelp for help and…read morehe responded timely.

Fausto Law was recommended by our Family Attorney. As a Corporate attorney, he was hired to protect…read morethe Corporations from disclosing privileged information. Instead of doing as he was hired, he asked for documents that belonged to my family case so he can later overbill. He never produced the privilege log and delayed producing the documents requested in discovery which he had received timely. His delay caused a costly Motion to compel that has taken over three years and over one Hundred thousand Dollars to defend. Mr. Mario Fausto is an unethical person, not only he did not do as he was hired, but despite the fact that his negligence cost us dearly, he overbilled us 26,000.00 for resubmitting 35 pages of discovery we provided. He also blackmail us to pay 1000.00 to write a declaration to defend the very Motion he was responsible for. Buyer Beware! dealing with Fausto's Law is like making a pact with the devil.

I was referred to Elena from my company legal perk that allows me to have a short legal…read moreconsultation with Elena. It was one of the oddest and least helpful consultations ever. 1 star off: I explained my situation to Elena and asked her for advice on how I can *avoid* a litigation. Her advice to me was that I should not think about this matter until I *actually* get served with a lawsuit. Wow, that is exactly what I do not want to happen... 1 star off: Elena seemed very disinterested in listening to my case. When I was talking to her on the phone, she was constantly typing. I was not sure if she was taking notes or doing something completely different. By the way that she asked some follow-up questions, I got the feeling that she was not listening and was probably doing something completely different. 1 star off: Her explanations were difficult to understand, using a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. I am not an attorney. She should understand that her potential clients do not understand legal jargon. 1 star off: Although she ended our conversation by saying "Call me or E-mail with any questions," she does not return phone calls or E-mails. I called 2-3 times and wrote 2-3 E-mails with follow-up questions, and none were answered. It would have been more professional to just say, "I do not have any more advice for you" or "I do not want to work with you because of XYZ." Advice for working with Elena: Wait until you actually get sued before contacting her office. Just kidding. Go find another attorney!

Eight years ago, we worked with Patrick to create a trust to ensure that our assets and home can…read morepass to our children with the least amount of friction and loss due to probate. We knew very little about trusts - just some advice provided by friends. Coming into this process pretty raw, Patrick was able to step us through the basics concepts and considerations, making suggestions that we hadn't thought of but made sense. For example, he suggested cliffs in terms of when assets would be made available to our kids depending on their age and average maturity. He also suggested additional contingencies such as backup to guardianship in case of the unavailability of the primary guardian.However, he also highlighted many other aspects relating to the trust but beyond the scope of the trust that can help ensure we maintain control if something adverse happened to us such as the power of attorney and contingencies in the case of either me or my spouse becomes incapacitated. We felt very well protected based on the trust that we drew up with Patrick's assistance. Fast forward 8 years and, again, we looked towards Patrick to help guide us through changes in our trust to fit our current family snapshot, with more properties, more assets, older kids, and aging grandparents who may not be the best fit for guardianship. Based on his guidance and based on the size of the assets we've accumulated, we updated the cliffs for when our children will take control of our assets. We updated our health directives. Most importantly, we revisited a list of to-do items that we failed to carry through with, such as a list of all the financial institutions to provide to our executor and having conversations with executor and guardians about their role and our wishes for how fund may be distributed if they assumed control. Equally important in this entire process is Patrick's very clear, very personable, very disarming approach in conversations concerning the difficult topic of planning for the worst. My wife and I appreciated this aspect of Patrick's service immensely. I highly recommend using Patrick for your trust, will, and estate planning needs.
