Her attention to details and knowledge of elder law makes working with her such a pleasure. Heather has handled both of my parents final arrangements. She was extremely sensitive to my mother who had to make special accommodations for my Dad who suffered from dementia for more than 20 years. She gave my mother such peace of mind knowing that everything was taken care of and that there would be no surprises or difficulties. I highly recommend Heather Campopiano for all your elder care legal needs.

After seeing several very positive recommendations on Next Door, I met with and decided to work…read morewith Brittany Birnie Greene on a restatement of my will and living trust. This is the third will/trust restatement/update I have done in the last 30 years and I found Brittany to be the most responsive, knowledgable, detail oriented, engaged. Also the first woman I've worked with, which was not a criterion but felt like the right choice. I found Brittany to be completely prepared to explain in clear language all the nuances and legalities of the process....or to not overexplain whenever I said I was pretty familiar with the various sections of the documents. I truly enjoyed working with her and was impressed not only by the reasonable fee but by her firm's (Just Brittany and sister Tate) generous policy with respect to updating certain parts of the trust and/or taking brief phone calls at no charge. I'm delighted that I chose Birnie Law and highly recommend them to others. BTW, I'm surprised there are so few reviews on Yelp. Probably just that most people are so glad to have this process 'done' that they don't want to think about it once it is. Worth noting that they do no advertising but are always very busy just from word of mouth. Again, just the kind of firm I like.

One cretin (name withheld out of courtesy) tried to get me to pay a $3,500 deposit up front, and he had the people skills of a sixth grade remedial student. Very lucky to have had a friend recommend Tate Birney in Sebastopol. I cannot remember the last time I felt so comfortable in a lawyer's office; and I left feeling like with a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and that I really had found a caring and smart advocate, should I require services in the future. Very reasonable rates, especially for one who is clearly so capable and qualified. Even from just my one meeting with Tate Birney, I can, with intuitive confidence, recommend her highly.

Like others have stated, Mike is very knowledgeable about his subject matter, he's very professional, patient, and really takes his time to listen to your concerns, and then gives his opinion on what needs to be done. He's very down to earth, and easy to talk too . I've recommended him highly to other family members and friends who might need the services of an attorney that specializes in Trust work.

In November 2023 I hired Ingrid Evans to handle a significant financial elder abuse matter…read moreinvolving millions of dollars stolen from my father. At first I believed she was an excellent attorney and was very hopeful. That changed quickly. She heavily promotes the recent bench trial verdict in In re Durable Power of Attorney of Dock Dean (Case No. 23STPB13044, Los Angeles Superior Court) as a $47 million victory on her firm's website and in press releases. In reality, this appears to be self-promotion. She went after the easiest targets among the three defendants, obtained a large judgment that has not yet resulted in meaningful recovery for the estate, and is now billing my father's estate for hundreds of thousands of dollars--amounts that independent tax and estate planning professionals have told me provided no real benefit to my father. Her most serious error was representing two beneficiaries with unequal interests in the estate--the victim's son and granddaughter--creating a clear non-waivable conflict of interest. This led to her actively pitting me against my niece and permanently damaging our family relationship. She has since become adversarial toward me in court filings, including making negative statements about me that appear to violate basic attorney ethics rules. What should have been her breakthrough case instead exposed disloyalty and poor judgment. I also experienced her overstepping her role as an attorney. She repeatedly tried to control aspects of my personal and financial life and offered financial advice without any qualifications to do so. Her communication style was often intimidating and made me feel pressured rather than supported. Former employees have posted concerning reviews on Glassdoor about the work environment at Evans Law Firm, which aligns with my experience. I strongly advise anyone considering hiring Ingrid Evans to trust their instincts and look elsewhere. She is not the dedicated advocate she presents herself to be. Half these reviews are fake... she asked me to write a review last year way before the ending of my case, and I promised her I would write an accurate and truthful review at the conclusion of our engagement.

My mom was not treated the way she or any patient should be treated in a nursing home. Karman took our case and gave us piece of mind that they could help us. At our darkest moments, she made us feel that there is light down the road. She was very professional and helpful and made sure we were taken care of during her maternity leave. Kirsten took over our case and knew exactly all about our case. She kept close contact with us and explained everything that was going on. Kathryn would check in on us and further explain our situation and where we were in the process. In the end, they WON our case for us. They truly are a Godsend, all of them who helped us, even Scott, with collecting our documents and photos. From beginning to end, they provided us with the support we needed and believed in us and our case. We were fighting for our mom and all patients who need the great care they deserve and not negligent care. They are super easy to talk to without feeling intimidated because they are lawyers. They really showed us empathy and helped us all along the way. We are forever grateful and believe they can help many more people who need help with their case.Thank you, Stebner and Associates.
