Before I went to Alex I must have considered and consulted 5 other lawyers who gave me the run around or wouldn't fight for our trust since it was a revision. Alex took the time and effort to answer my questions and meet with me time and again to get it done perfectly. He can be reached in person or via email and is just 100% legitimate and awesome. I can't thank him enough for all his help in helping us with the trust and will we had to amend. Muchas gracias!! Merci beaucoup!! I can't say it in enough languages. Thanks Alex!

From our first conversation, it was obvious she was the right choice and someone I definitely wanted in my corner. I'm very happy to report that we recently crossed the finish line and resolved the matter successfully. Talking with Irene is like consulting a friendly encyclopedia, she has an incredible wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. She walked me through every step of the process, always clearly explaining our legal strategy and all available options in a way that gave me confidence that my interests were protected. Irene's paralegal, Bryce, was great, too. He was always very quick to respond and made document management, signatures, and everything in between easy for me. I'm very thankful that Irene and Bryce were able to resolve what was the biggest headache I've ever had as a homeowner!

My name is Deniz Salon…read more I needed a help for my ex-mother in law in Los Angles she got tricked by loan sharks and borrowed money on her house with fake documents prepared by loan agent . Of course she could not pay the payments. She was being evicted from her property. She came to me. When I brought the case to Mr Finkelstein he transfer me to his associate name Paul Lee. Ooh boy that was a big big mistake. He is the worst lawyer I have seen in my life. We followed his advice and guidance and pay him during the law suit and we end up loosing the house. Worst lawyer ever. His advice are bad, preparation is bad, he is afraid to talk and negotiate. Ooh my god my ex mother in law got evicted on the street now. I really hope he won't hurt anybody else. Please stay away. Deniz Salon

Living far from his office, we were initially concerned about distance, but it never became an inconvenience. Every step of our trust setup was handled smoothly and efficiently through virtual meetings and clear communication. What truly impressed us was that when we emailed, the attorney himself--not a paralegal or assistant--responded promptly and thoughtfully. Thanks to his flat-fee, full-service approach and exceptional responsiveness, we were able to establish our trust with complete confidence and peace of mind. No matter where you live in California, the quality of service you receive from this attorney will be outstanding. I give my highest recommendation.

Bumping my review by one star. After reading glorious reviews, Lauren Rios was my number one choice and the first attorney I contacted. The receptionist took down my personal details only to inform me right away that they are not accepting new clients at this time. I wasn't asked for any details of my situation to determine whether the firm has the expertise or the bandwidth to take on my case, now or in the future. This left me wondering whether my Jewish-sounding last name made them turn me away without any further consideration. After all, it would be enough to ask for a first name only in order to carry on a conversation.

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.
