Our experience with Mari started out great, but then communication became more and more sparse. We…read morewere SO close to completing paperwork when she simply stopped returning our messages. The last step was for her to send in the completed papers and that was 5 months ago. Very disappointed.

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.

I was lucky to have found Ken and Classic Boat Works. I like that he is a family man and this is a…read morefamily-owned operation. I communicated with Ken back and forth a couple of times via text before I finally brought my 1987 Sea Swirl in and met him. After speaking with him and meeting him, I could tell Ken is an honest guy who doesn't try to upsell you or make you pay for repairs you don't need. Much like with automobiles, I'm not mechanically inclined so I have to rely on mechanics who know what they are doing and trust they won't rip me off. I got the sense from dealing with Ken I wouldn't have to worry about that. He helped me get my boat up and running after it had sat unused for about 18 years. Luckily, he said the motor and most of the boat were in good shape and all it needed was some new fittings and parts and it was up and running. He also fixed the floor in the boat because rot had damaged a section. I was able to take the boat out with my family and let our daughter experience boating on the water. I plan to continue to have my boat serviced/winterized with Ken.

From the very first conversation, it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing and was more than capable of handling the task at hand.
